It Should Be Obvious That The Entire GOP Leadership Was Part Of The Russian Coup.

Hindsight being 20/20 if you look at ALL the events of the 2016 election it was a Russian baked coup on so many ways. McConnell, Ryan and other GOP leadership were just as much a part of the collusion (treason?) as Trump and his campaign was. THEY WERE ALL IN ON IT 100%.

If we had an honest and independent media and press they would be publicly roasted and running for their political lives. They would be ruined a perhaps even in prison or under indictment. They really are traitors to the country. The really most brutal truth is that this was the most tainted, dishonest and crooked election in our history. The Bush "selections" were just practice for what we have today. Now the GOP is doubling down on its version of insurrection.

Why we are not mad has hell right now and not in the streets protesting the racist GOP itself is beyond me.

It's just business. Citizens United Incorporated. What could be wrong with for-profit treason? It's for profit! See?

You are so absolutely on target with this post. And we're in the fight of our lives.

McConnell and Ryan were just as much a part of the coordination and the RNC helped too. They were the ones acting like artillery spotters and telling the trolls where to go. And the Koch's, Mercers and other were providing the cash.

They all knew, they all turned a blind eye -- because the enemy favored them.

Y'know, if America's nemesis started shoveling me cash, I'd start to wonder about myself.

Not these guys.

There is but a thin thread of justice left.

And the GOp is hacking away at that for all they're worth.

I believe that the GOP WAS aware of Russian infiltration and if they weren't an active part, they certainly let it go on.
To them, winning is everything, by hook or by crook -- and with them, it's mostly crook.

Everyday I keep hoping that I will hear that McConnell and Ryan have been subpoenaed or given a search warrent or something that would make my day better...it never comes and I wait and wait getting an ulcer on top of everything else. Does the new GOP Hellcare plan cover ulcers that they caused?

Let's face it, if they're complicit....and they ARE...then it's also within the realm of possibility that Mueller could bring down half of DC.

Question is: what would the charge be against McConnell, Ryan, etc.? Racketeering?

i.e. the recent puke means to steal elections, we can now add "Commit Treason".

Unfuckingbelievable. To think that this country would be taken over by Russian-allied big money so blatantly...words fail me. And now they are shoving their toxic agenda--which most Americans don't want--down our throat.

Truly, we are living under occupation--by corrupt, Russian-allied billionaires.

Not only am I more ticked off about Russia battling us (and, by "us" I mean progressives because Putin and his minions state it's liberalism they want to eradicate), I am steamed that every. single. Republican is fine with eliminating our democracy for the money the Kochs, Mercers and other oligarchs dangle in front of them. They drip with hypocrisy, spouting patriotism and calling facts fake. I revile them. They are reprehensible.

all the power so there's no way they will investigate themselves. This issue needs to be kept in the forefront, sunshine will hopefully wake up the stupid.

...of course, McConnell always looks nervous—probably because he knows he's a heartless jackass...put traitor on top of that now.

Many of 45's supporters are into conspiracies -- "Deep State"-crap and all. The GOP leadership is involved in the Russian incursion to the extent that they are its beneficiaries, at the very least.

Each and every one should be excoriated for their complicity and silence.
