20. GOP needs awareness not guts

Thu Nov 30, 2017, 08:52 AM

Nov 2017

The problem is the GOP doesn't even know any of this.

Probably about a third of them watch nothing but Fox News and literally believe this is all fake. (Fox has done more harm to this country than Trump, and I hope for the sake of this country we find real links between Fox and Russia so that they will be destroyed.) The rest of them, even if they're somewhat open-minded, have never even heard of Rykov and Klyushen and dozens of other people involved in different ways, unless they sit on an intelligence committee, and even those guys haven't really spent hours poring over this level of detail, so they probably think it's nothing more than bragging Russian bloggers or Seth Abramson's imagination. And they don't want to know so their investigations move too slowly and ask the wrong questions.
