The most important aspect of the investigation is the revelation of the willingness of Trump and his aides to welcome the assistance of our sworn enemy to win the election. I not heard one word of concern by any Republican concerning this crucial matter. It matters not to the Republicans that in doing so they are betraying the nation and putting its existence in peril. It matters not to them that Trump has repeatedly called the investigation a witch hunt and the proven involvement of Russians in securing his election as a hoax.

This not a new development, but the policy of the Republicans for the last forty years in their quest to destroy the balance of power that was instituted by the framers of the constitution that created three independent separate and equal branches of power. This issue was explored in depth in the Federal Papers which discussed the constitution. They clearly foresaw exactly what is now being attempted by the Republicans if the presidency fell into the hands of an unprincipled president who would attempt to transform the presidency into an authoritarian office with no accountability to the courts or congress.

This is not a matter of conjuncture, but one of facts clearly brought out by this investigation. We have at the helm of the nation a man who sought to impose his will on the investigation and attempted numerous times to destroy it clearly indulging in obstruction of justice. Does this matter to Republicans? Clearly their only concern is that they won the presidency and it is totally irrelevant that it was gained with the assistance of our sworn enemies.



To me this is the most important aspect of this entire disaster. It not only bridges on conspiracy, it constitutes what our nation's founders would have considered treason to the basic vision of our nation. Their willingness to disregard the most egregious behavior of the president who is without a shred of morals solely to protect their party is betrayal at the highest level. This is the depths to which a major party has allowed itself to sink into crass immorality. What has been their gift to the nation? One corrupt and lawless administration after another dating from Nixon, Regan, Bush and now Trump. The must be defeated and their party destroyed if the nation is to survive as democracy. If left to their designs the nation is domed.
