We are in a constitutional crisis

We have a crazy insane president who was funded by a Russia and a politicial party also funded and influenced by Russia. Where is the outrage and what happens when it is revealed the leadership was in collusion with Russia and it is provable by those tapes?

I see the crack up of this country happening and no remedy in sight.

5. I disagree. I think it's a political crisis, not a constitutional one.

It could be moving toward a constitutional crisis. But so far, the process works as designed.

but since a special counsel has been assigned the system is working as it was designed and hopefully will clean this mess up before it becomes a true constitutional crisis.

I'm of course talking about McConnell, Ryan, Pence, Gorsuch, and the Koch Brothers, and the Mercers. What happens to all of them? You know they were all complicit in this.

Will we still be in a constitutional crisis if the enablers go free? I cannot imagine a situation in which every single person involved gets prosecuted (even merely outed). That means the evil will still exist and threaten our government. In fact, I think we have been had a constitutional crisis for years, decades even. It's just that Democrats have been able to hold the right in check until now. So now we know, out of sight should not mean out of mind.

If we don't start holding them accountable, expect 2020 to be worse than 2016. They should all be behind bars. Our government is not their plaything.
