Now, this is really, really terrifying!
Instead of facing the raw truth and act the faster it can be, to put an end to this mess, and save whatever can be saved of America credibility, reliability, dignity and respectability, the GOP is doubling down !
It means, even after Trump will be removed, they have made it impossible to recover before decades !
Never forget international alliances and treaties are not scaled on a presidential term but on the long term.
What will be remembered, is that the GOP has shown they can't be trusted and thus, many countries will be reluctant to trust the US...

BREAKING: In light of the recent comments made by Trump, siding with Putin over our Intel Agencies, the House Judiciary Committee, led by the GOP, are holding a classified meeting to on Hillary's emails today. Disclaimer: This is not a JOKE! I am 100% serious This is TREASON!
