Rep. Rohrabacher 'rendezvous' being set up with Trump to relay info from Assange on DNC hack

[Moral Compass]

8. Even his own party leadership thinks he's on the Russian take

Our system of Government has a very obvious weakness. Apparently there is nothing in our Constitution or our legal system that allows us to charge members of Congress that are clearly on the take from a foreign power with a crime. Dana Rohrbacher is so blatantly in the pocket of the Russians that it is absolutely mind-boggling. He doesn't even seem to be all that ashamed of it. I mean hell why should he be? It's working for him.

But what really blows me away is the fact that there's doesn't seem to fuck all we can do about it.

The same is true of Trump. He has pretty much trashed everybody and everything but if you ask him to say something negative about the Russians he backs off in a hurry. He just won't do it. He scared shitless of the Russians and specifically of Putin.

The thing that is really just absolutely blowing me away is that our system of government has absolutely no answer for this. Because we've granted immunity to our governmental officials – – with good reason – – there is absolutely nothing we can do.

Dana Rohrbacher cannot be arrested for what he is doing. Trump can't be arrested for what he's doing. It looks like our founding fathers designed a system that was pretty good as long as everybody was working together in good faith. But if somebody just decides they don't want to follow the rules they are actually relatively immune from any sort of prosecution while they are in office.

What an incredible cock up this is!
