KRUGMAN: "We have strong reason to believe Trump & associates engaged in collusion"

This is much bigger than a Trump problem. One entire political party, half the political spectrum, now evidently holds democracy and rule of law in utter contempt. I don't know if America as we know it can survive. But if it does: never forget this moment

I'm not writing much about Mueller/Nunes and all that, because I don't have much to add. But everyone should bear the essentials in mind:

1. We have strong reason to believe that Trump and associates engaged in collusion with a hostile foreign power

2. It's also obvious that Trump and a number of his appointees are using office to enrich themselves, and that this corruption is exposing government operations on many fronts to undue influence from bad actors

3. And the response of essentially the whole Republican party and its media allies has been to attempt to discredit and purge law enforcement, spinning and repeating insane conspiracy theories in the process

1. There is no daylight between Trump and the GOP.

After all, they nominated him to represent them
