Could the base thing that is being covered up with the Russia thing

is an attempted coup?

That's the question the news people are trying to figure out. What is the underlying thing the white house is all trying to cover up. That is the plot with Russia.

we still have a lot to worry about. These traitors still have top secret security clearances and who knows WHO they are talking to or have shared our secrets with. This could go on for a long damned time. We coould be in more serious trouble than we could imagine.

makes it pretty clear that he is doing Russia's bidding. Making money, adulation, playing golf, being a bully, bigotry, and revenge on Obama are trump's motivators. I don't think he really cares about anything else. Causing chaos and hurting the US domestically and internationally can only benefit Russia. It like a fifth column. Only this is far more damaging because it's the top levels of government.
