This is the 2nd to last sentence in the Atlantic article.

His tampering with witnesses is secondary to whom enlisted to help him in his endeavor. This could be a whole new charge.

What would you call enlisting a foreign intelligence agent/asset to help you tamper with witnesses to a crime?

mostly GOP but also a few Dem/ Indy's that would also be named & held to account for their involvement in the 2016 scandal.

Names will be made known.

Probably the entire GOP..top down, McConnell & Ryan for starters. Its a long list, no doubt.

Hope it destroys the beast
