That the OSC is now looking at the pattern of Trumpy's statements to determine if Trumpy is promoting Russian interests to the US' detriment is a profoundly disturbing but necessary decision. The possibility truly exists that Trumpy is getting direct instructions from the Kremlin to promote Russian interests from the White House.

The pathetic shame that we're noticing is that the GOP leadership is covering their collective eyes and pretending that nothing unusual is happening, which brings to mind the recent rumor that Maria Butina has testified before a grand jury that 22 GOP Senators have taken Russian money to finance their campaigns. If true, it then makes perfect sense that McConnell and his pals are ALSO guilty of felonies, and that the GOP leadership is running a RICO operation to not only bring in foreign money, but also to conspire to conceal the multiple felonies that they are committing.
