and that's why Trump has the control of the Party - for fear that all their dirty little secrets would be outed by Putin - wouldn't you think that of all the Repugs that know of this - that one of them would expose that info to the public?

I just don't believe that this info could be kept hidden all this time without one Repug that has knowledge of this. Just too many people involved that this could be kept from the public.

Lock him up.

Mobs have ways to frighten any probable...Rat (like family members, businesses, et al).

And the Putin's mob is one of the deadliest (if not THE deadliest) mob on Earth.

Lock him up.

To Moscow Mitch to dole out for getting Republicans elected, and once they did they are trapped and compromised by putin and trump to provide political cover for all the corruption and acts of treason from helping putin and his puppet, or else. I also think some in Congress already know what is going on , and letting them self destruct as more gets exposed against them. Another reason trump is desperately trying to keep his taxes from being exposed , all the crimes and payoffs will expose him for many criminal acts,,, unless they get doctored , which he's capable of trying to do. trump may try to cut and run soon knowing he's losing his fight in so many area's now. I think trump has tried to corrupt Justices, and Roberts won't go along with him now, and ruling against him now more from it.

We need only look at which party most financial and sexual scandals come from to know for a certainty that there is Russian kompromat on the GOP that explains every bit of their compliance.

if we get them all out of office, would Putin give them the last big finger and release the info? he could do it without it being tied to him and could effect another sever blow to democracy?
