Top House Democrat Drops A Truth Bomb: Republicans Are Aiding And Abetting Trump Crimes

By Jason Easley on Mon, Oct 23rd, 2017 at 7:21 pm


The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) spoke the truth when said that Republicans would be losing their minds if Hillary Clinton did what Trump’s family is up to with private email.

The truth hurts:

Whether it is the Russia scandal, Trump family conflicts of interest, Trump using the presidency for his own personal gain, or Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s use of private email to conduct government business, the Republican Party has aided and abetted, this president’s criminal activity.

That’s why these scandals aren’t just presidential scandals. They also represent the systemic failure of one of the two major political parties in the United States.

Rep. Cummings was right. Republicans would be losing their minds if the shoe was on the other foot. Hillary Clinton would already be impeached if she did 1/1000th of what Trump has done as president. The fact that Republicans are actively helping this president cover up his crimes suggests that it will take more than the removal of Trump from office to clean up the corruption within the Republican Party.

1. That is correct.

[keen observer]

2. The Republican Party is beyond redemption.

It needs to be extingushed.

[DBoon]

17. it is a criminal enterprise

With lower ethical standards than the mafia

[burnbaby]

3. I would say Mueller

is taking care of this, but he seems to be going in so many directions that I just can't keep up

[LonePirate]

4. Wasnt this already painfully obvious?

[babylonsister]

5. Yes, of course. Would be nice if EVERY

Dem echoed this though; too much silence imo.

[spanone]

6. K&R...

[PearliePoo2]

7. I used to be hopeful 'The System' would hold. The checks and balances were strong and would prevail.

I thought our Republic is threatened and wounded but the truth and the law will right this damaged ship.
But no, we have treasonous Republicans basically saying, "Yeah, whatcha gonna DO about it"? I fear we might be truly fucked and finished.

8. Of course they are. David Nunes showed that. As has Paul Ryan.

Totally in the pocket of Trump, not doing their jobs. Stupid Trumpers don't follow the news and aren't particularly bright, so all they know is what Trump says, which they believe. "Sad."

[Justice]

11. Devin Nunes nt

[Honeycombe8]

16. That's it? That's your sole contribution to this important thread?

Very interesting.

9. All Republicans are collaborating on the annual TRILLION dollar treasury heist.

The aka tax cuts will then be loaned to the government so they also will get annual interest on the stolen money!

[KelleyKramer]

21. Yep, you nailed it, as my grandfather used to say...

The really big crooks get you going and coming

[mikeysnot]

10. File this in the

NO shit Sherlock folder....

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. A robust media would make Republicon email hypocrisy as big a story as they dumped on Hillary. . nt

[vlyons]

13. Republican greed and lust for power is all-consuming

As far as I'm concerned they are evil neo-Fascists. Each and everyone wants to be a pharoah and consign us to dragging stones to b uild their luxurious pyramids. Dems had better stop their infighting and unite to defeat the party of evil.

14. Hopefully Mueller will find some connection to his investigation. nt

[ancianita]

15. It's not beyond the FBI's historical practice to drop indictments in the hundreds. Obstruction

of justice, when it comes to House and Senate GOP, is easily verifiable.

Now THAT would be "draining the swamp"!

[wiggs]

18. should be a huge story. nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

19. Rep. Cummings' House Oversight twitter feed is....

a virtual catalog of Republican hypocrisy. And, there's little indication they give a shit.

(snip)
Ten months into #Trump Admin & House GOP still haven't held a single substantive oversight hearing on clear abuses by #POTUS or top aides.

[Irish_Dem]

20. The GOP public spats are just PR stunts and kabuki theater. And some are mad

that they are losing their cushy jobs in the senate.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

22. LOCK THEM ALL UP!
