There is something dirty going on. I think it is a given that the Russians also hacked the RNC along with private emails of republicans in the Senate and the House.

He can ruin everything about their lives; their career, their marriage, their finances, maybe even their freedom. Trump is a mobster and he didn't change when he became president.

This explains not only the unseemly sychophancy, but the evident widespread panic among republicans.

I think we are going to find out about it. I think someone is going to spill the beans to Mueller. It may already have happened and Mueller may already know everything. There is always someone who talks.
