I just have a feeling that you know why the Speaker told ReTHUGs to swear to secrecy' after
this explosive assertion.
Theres two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump, McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthys assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

This is a problem.
Unless Schneiderman can pin something on them, they will all walk and since half of the voting base will approve, what can we do?
The only way it works is if everybody is patriotic and decides to put country, rule of law, first. They wont, ever.
This is a new situation for those of us who assumed everybody was patriotic.
Nixon went down because his own party decided to do the right thing, some of them anyway.

If the GOP thinks treason is acceptable, then treason it shall be. Conspiracy, whatever. Here is how it goes down unless NY AG gets him
then no impeachment
then he pardons himself and everyone
Election 2018, many dont vote or vote 3rd party or for GOP, GOP maintains House...
I hope not, but that is what I see right now.
