19. EXACTLY! Conspiring against our alliesis

immensely worse than just against the opposition party (because it actually does both).

They are fessing up to the lesser of the two while also making the case that there’s nothing wrong with “getting info from a foreign source regarding a political opponent — doesn’t matter; everybody does it”. They think they can manage the message and consequences via their party and their base. Ain’t going to happen if this is in fact the case.

What tRump has done (if this is true) is treasonous regarding treaties and long standing alliances. Our allies in Europe are not the GOP or tRump’s deplorable base. They aren’t ideologically loyal to tRump and Faux News doesn’t control the messaging in Europe.

If this is real, the shit is about to fly in DC.
And Pelosi damn well better get on board with her constituents.
