I have been doing a lot of thinking.

It started when McCabe said that he had talked with the gang of 8 and told them that he opened an investigation concerning Trump and Russia! I just wonder what Nunes told Trump about this investigation. Nunes and Paul Ryan, along with all the other republicans knew way to much before the actual investigation started. Excuse me if you heard this before, Watergate was a pond to this ocean of treason. So, here's my worries, how deep does this go? Who else did Nunes tell? Who told Nunes to run to the White House's skiff room late night and then what did he take and hide? Folks, we are looking a conspiracy that is wide and deep. I just hope Mueller convicts them all. It is one hell of a story and quite scary to find out the plot!

environment where 40% of the people in any given situation are rooting for the traitors?

It is amazing when you think about it.

By environment I dont mean DU but in USA. We have to work that much harder to counter the actions and support of about 45 million Americans who adamantly support the traitor NO MATTER WHAT.

Most of those who are rooting for the traitors are in a traitor cult. It insulates them from facts.

1. If you refuse to show me your tax returns, I know you are hiding something

2. If you stand in front of the world and support Putin while attacking America, I know you are a traitor

3. If you have multiple occasions to sanction our enemy and dont, you are part of the problem

Paul Ryan could have removed Nunes in a second. But he didn’t. Ryan is more at fault than Nunes.

He’ll be back, claiming he was never part of the criminal cabal.

But I think many of those involved will never be investigated or prosecuted. Sen McConnell and Sen Graham come to mind. They and others on this level will remain unscathed and continue to hold prominent positions in our Government and that is kind of scary.

From what I see, the entire administration and gop congress are under the aegis of Russia.
Waiting for Mueller.

"In February 2017, Nunes, who served on the Trump transition team, was the first leading House Republican to deny that the intelligence community had evidence of contact between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives.[69] He rejected repeated calls for an investigation by a select committee..."

"Nunes canceled a public hearing in which former acting Attorney General Sally Yates, former National Security Agency Director James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan were to testify,[82] saying that he wanted to hear FBI Director James Comey and National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers in a classified setting first..."

"in July 2017, an aide to Nunes secretly sent a pair of Republican staffers to London to contact Christopher Steele..."
