Don't mince words. Trump is abetting an attack on our country.

When the Senate acquitted President Trump of the high crimes he committed against our country, Republicans and Democrats alike fell back on a convenient fiction: No, Trump has not really placed himself beyond the law and accountability entirely -- for he can always be held accountable in the next election.

Republicans adopted this fiction to obscure Trump’s crimes -- that his Ukraine shakedown was all about corrupting that same election. Democrats adopted it to diffuse pressure to sustain the investigative war footing that protecting the country demands.

The news that intelligence officials warned House lawmakers that Russia is again trying to sabotage our election for Trump, and that this disclosure angered Trump, shatters that fiction entirely.

These revelations are already getting shrouded in euphemism. One CNN analysis insists “America” is “blundering” into another crisis of electoral legitimacy, and that the “partisan divide” is hampering the U.S. response to it.

Aiding and abetting this terrorist Trump in destroying our institutions.

I hope they are getting paid well for flushing this country down the tubes.
