Republicans On Board With President Trump In Odd Deference To Russian Goals - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC [View all]



Somehow I missed this, Republican congressional leaders meeting with the Russians, IN Russia

What. The. Hell!

They aren't even pretending to hide it any more. The entire Republican party are traitors to our country. This actually has me very worried about the legitimacy of this years election

I included a news article below the video. It's from February but is directly relevant to this news.

I am now joining what other DUers have said many times.... Mueller, you need to hurry the fuck up!!



Republicans On Board With President Trump In Odd Deference To Russian Goals | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC


Rachel Maddow reports on a Republican congressional delegation to Moscow behaving awkwardly deferential in a way that dovetails with Donald Trump acceding to Russia's wish list despite the conclusions of American intelligence that Russia is actively attacking the foundation of the US system of government.

US intel chiefs unanimous that Russia is targeting 2018 elections

https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/13/politics/intelligence-chiefs-russia-2018-elections-target/index.html

(CNN)Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said Tuesday "there should be no doubt" that Russia sees the 2018 US elections as a target.

Coats and the other top national security officials told the Senate Intelligence Committee that they still view Moscow as a threat to the 2018 elections, a stance that appears at odds with President Donald Trump's repeated dismissals of Russian election meddling.

"We expect Russia to continue using propaganda, social media, false-flag personas, sympathetic spokesmen and other means to influence, to try to build on its wide range of operations and exacerbate social and political fissures in the United States," Coats said at a hearing on worldwide threats. "There should be no doubt that Russia perceives its past efforts as successful and views the 2018 US midterm elections as a potential target for Russian influence operations."
