The Deplorables are doing everything possible to undermine our way of life. Their perfidy, mendacity, and contempt for the rule of law is manifest. They proudly display their contempt for democratic norms for all to see.

God's speed, Robert Mueller. A proud nation turns its longing eyes to you.

And he knows it. Does not matter if he was played, he was complicit and is in legal jeopardy.

Trump's New Impeachable Offenses: Obstruction of Justice, Conspiracy, Abuse of Power

However, it does give one hope.
