(10,922 posts)The GOP control congress: McConnell & Ryan are rumored to have received some Russian money. McConnell is protecting Trump with denials of a special prosecutor. Attorney General Sessions is deep within the scandal and already caught lying about it. The Supreme Court is GOP controlled/biased (due to theft of Obama's pick with McConnell's hands all over it).
That ignores Page, Stone, Manafort & Flynn and probably others - just focusing on the heads of the two bodies in congress, the President & Attorney General of the administration and the Supreme Court (who won't get to weigh in anyway with the Attorney General and to-be-named Director of the FBI in Trump/Putin's pocket).
All of the above is coming about from influence of Putin & the Russians - which is mind boggling on it's own.
The "fake" media and the American people are the only ones who can get us out of this pickle - and they may well be powerless to do so.
The threat here is a thousand times worse than Watergate and 9/11 combined because this is an assault on the control of the country and what it's stands for that could very well affect the freedoms of the people and how they will be governed in the future. David Frum's label of "coup" may not be far off.
