The Betrayal of America by a major Political Party

It would be much easier to impeach a president if he were not in bed with major political figures. The criminal scheme was not something simply created by Rudy Giuliani to please his buddy, Donald Trump.

It was a scheme where an entire Administration was complicit in its undertaking. Everyone from the State Dept to Defense Dept to the OMB to the Treasury to the Energy Dept to shady characters from Ukraine and Russia assisted Donald Trump in his efforts to advance his personal interests.

That alone would be a scandal and a betrayal of unprecedented historical significance.

But the unthinkable has now happened. An entire political Party has made a decision to support their president, regardless of what crimes have been committed. The Republican Party has joined Donald Trump wholeheartedly in betraying our nation.

It is unbelievable but it is happening.

Yes, it will happen, but probably after New Years. Probably less then 5. Give them time.

The Russians targeted Republicans specifically as allies. They knew Republicans would be receptive. They did not, according to the evidence, approach Democrats to join their schemes.

I get so angry hearing again and again that Trump somehow corrupted the Republicans. That is just not the case.
