In a parallel universe, where justice and patriotism are more than just slogans, this treason would be leading every news cycle and Americans would be taking to the streets to protest the Russian coup.

Infuriating what we've been subjected to thus far. As bad or worse than I could have imagined. Republicans, in my eyes, are nothing less than complacent traitors to the Stars and Stripes. Will never see them as patriotic ever again.

at least that is what I expect and it would be totally in character with them, their full stop in the Intel committees, their guilt in taking laundered Russian mob money, and their Benghazi politikkkal strategy.

This might be a major Republican dog and pony show to counter the Intelligence Committee investigations.
