It's the hit dog that yelps ...

… and the Republicans who are trying to keep Mueller’s findings from the public are already yelping.

There’s only one reason people like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell want to quash Mueller’s report – and it has nothing to do with protecting Trump. It’s because they know their own crimes will be exposed.

Watch for those who protest the most when it comes to Mueller’s findings being revealed. They are the guilty parties – and the louder they are, the guiltier they are.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why the hit dog is yelping. He’s howling because he knows that when the truth comes out, he’s likely to wind up in a very unpleasant cage from which there is no escape.

....Hamlet then turns to his mother and asks her, "Madam, how like you this play?", to which she replies ironically "The lady doth protest too much, methinks", meaning that the Player Queen's protestations of love and fidelity are too excessive to be believed.

Either an issue of them being directly in bed with the Russians for years or more likely it started due to the data the Russians stole from the Repugants computers and used it to influence them into going along with them.
Mind you I say it could have started that way however if it did I think its mutated because I think they now see advantages for them to do it and are willingly doing it.
Why? Because they have been able to appoint a number of federal judges that will have a lasting negative impact on the country for most of us but a positive one for them.

The bad thing is that they may do a "summary" that says something different from the report. They've done that before. So the Trumpers will choose to believe the summary instead of the real McCoy. But at least the report will be out there. I hope.

Long ago, I recall watching a news clip of Twitler at a table with a bunch of people - - Senators? Cabinet members? Congressmen? I honestly can't recall.

Anyway, Twitler jokingly (but NOT so jokingly) looked at someone who'd just disagreed with him and said something like "I can ruin your career - you know that, right?"

It sent a chill down my spine and I immediately thought - OMG he's in kahoots with Putin. They've got dirt on Dems AND Repugs.

So I'm not at all surprised to see Repugs kow-towing to Twitler. He has the goods on them and can throw them under the bus in less than a heartbeat. Graham is the first one that comes to mind. WHY is he kissing the orange one's big butt ever since going golfing with him at Mara Lago?

Gotta be blackmail of some sort.

You don't pull a 180 like Graham did unless you're guilty of something - and you've been made aware that someone can prove it.
