"Right now, guilty pleas are going in, connecting the Russian Mob to the GOP."

Pay attention, peeps. Right now, guilty pleas are going in, connecting the Russian Mob to the GOP.

The dam breaks from here. 🔥

Replying to @KlasfeldReports
AUSA Zolkind is stating the elements of the two counts to which Correia is pleading guilty.

Notable:

Count 2, to which Correia is pleading guilty, alleges an illegal $325,000 donation to the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action, thinly veiled here as [Committee-1].

There is such a thing as real investigative journalism.

The traditional media has failed us. There’s a reason no one is aware of stories this important. Someone doesn’t want it known.

Fact: A prime witness to election interference has flipped and pleaded guilty. Of course there’s a story there.

He looks like he's a perp, but I haven't been following this story closely.

Maybe Rachel will have this on her show tonight. One hopes.

.... this story. His guilty plea. Stating with the NYT that published in advance that he was expected to plead guilty.

Actually, the tweet in the OP is pretty lame. Its just an excerpt from the court document and a sensationalist headline. Not anything that should be characterized as reporting, let alone investigative reporting, as one poster did.

... a pardon does not mean you are not guilty. Some will even maintain that accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.

Why do none of these revelations ever make enough noise, or be solid enough, to have a noticeable effect? Why does the GOP get by with the flimsiest of denials?

Everybody is saturated with fatigue, exhausted from the seemingly endless barrage of outrageous headlines.

I'm pretty sure people are keeping lists. Not too worried about that. Besides, we'll all die eventually.

The Russians got kompromat on the entire GOP.
- It goes back to when the Russians hacked the RNC when Reince Priebus was in charge.
- It's why Scott Walker quit so early (yeah, Trump was stealing some of his thunder because Snotty is more of a racist dogwhistle-type), but I don't believe he ran out of money when he has Daddy Koch-bucks backing him.
- Explains why it was so easy for Trump/Bannon/Manafort to change the 2016 GOP platform regarding Russia so easily.
- I think Paul Ryan got out in 2018 to put as much distance as he could between him and all of this treason.

Rapepublicans always seem to get a pass - possibly because they're "Wall Street's party" as well as the MIC's.

Could be they've outlived their usefulness even to them.

Yes, they're corrupt. I know. Chasing this kind of stuff makes you look like left-wing Q. You get more out of doing the real work of organizing and letting Biden's US Attorneys do their job.
