Has there ever been a cover-up in real-time that was any more obvious than Trump with Russia? [View all]

Usually, the cover-up isn't really uncovered until after the fact. The tapes in Watergate had long since been filled by the time the House committee started considering the evidence.

Ever since November, we've all just witness the Trump team stumble and bumble all over itself to try to make the story go away. Thankfully it hasn't worked. If anything they've made it worse for themselves. But gosh-darn it, they're just gonna doing it anyways.

They've thrown out unsubstantiated red herrings to try to distract from the story ("Leaks", Obama "wiretapping", Susan Rice "unmasking&quot . They've actually managed to cross the separation of powers and ensnare the head of the House Intelligence Committee as a participant in their scheme. They've forced people out of the administration when it becomes too much of a liability, and managed to both try to blame them and cast them as victims at the same time.

All this is playing out in real time, in front of our own eyes. They really think we won't care.

Well, we do notice. And we do care.

And the story is not going away.
