5. Oh geez.

We just have to keep pounding and pounding.

The GOP spent 7 years pounding against the ACA and Democrats from every quarter, need to pound and pound and pound against the coup of our government aided by Russia.

Twenty state attorneys general are calling on Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to appoint a special counsel in the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

In a letter to Rosenstein, who recommended the firing of James Comey as FBI director, the group of attorneys general argue that the public deserves a thorough investigation that examines the extent of Russian meddling, any possible collusion between Trump campaign officials and Russia and any possible cover-up.

"Only the appointment of an independent special counsel….with full powers and resources, can begin to restore public confidence. We urge you to appoint a special counsel immediately," they said.
