You have sanctions overwhelmingly approved by congress. The public overwhelmingly approves of the sanctions. There would be no political fall out by enforcing them and it just makes anyone look guilty who doesn't. So why aren't the republican leaders marching to the oval office or whatever golf course trump is on at the moment and say you have to enforce these now.
Why not? Because they either know hes guilty and its futile or they are just as guilty. It's the only explanation. They don't need russias love to screw the poor now they're in power. They should have discarded that card by now but they're keeping it up their sleeve for some nefarious reason
