1. The threat of a Russia-compromised Trump is the single-most sensational news item now or ever

2. The Republicans in Congress have stonewalled, dissembled and all-but-quashed the respective investigations of their intelligence committees, and would surely suffocate any effort to appoint a special counsel.

3. The Department of Justice is understaffed, in disarray, running on fumes, and the chief investigator has resigned her post.

4. The Trump administration continues to throw nails on the road to impede and misdirect any media or intelligence community inquiries or investigations.

5. The international IC has been attempting to rectify this assault on our very sovereignty by leaking copious amounts of information to allegedly unreliable bloggers and news reporters, but the mainstream media seems disinterested and non-committal.

6. The FBI is either slow walking their investigation or is in the process of uncovering the MOAScandals in real time, pulling in co-conspirators by the dozen.

7. Rachel Maddow is the pinnacle of mainstream reporting on the subject, but her reports don't seem to resonate or escalate the conversation at a speed that seems commensurate with the gravity of the subject.

8. Republicans in all positions of leadership are abdicating their solemn duty to protect our sovereignty.

9. Republicans in all positions of leadership have attacked our sovereignty, but the divisive nature of our nation permits them to claim partisanship as the underpinning of our dismay.

10. The path to justice seems blocked at every corridor. Will the FBI pursue this as a non-partisan criminal investigation and hand out indictments? Is that the course of events that need to take place? If not the FBI, who? Is Comey the good cop or the bad cop?

and will be going after these bastards methodically. RICO charges will hurt trump and cartel the most, because they can seize his assets.

Doesn't sound like there's too many options legally, save the AG from NY.

Too bad the American people aren't showing the outrage that the subject demands.
