GOP strategist: Trump and his Republican enablers are carrying out a bloodless coup for Putin
Republican strategist said President Donald Trump and his GOP allies appeared to be conducting a “bloodless coup” on behalf of Russia.
Political consultant Cheri Jacobus wrote in USA Today that this week’s startling news about Russian sanctions and GOP efforts to undermine the special counsel probe should terrify Americans.
On Monday alone, deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe resigned under pressure, Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee voted to release a memo the president admits is intended to undermine the special counsel probe and then, minutes later, the Trump administration announced it would not enact sanctions against Russia approved overwhelmingly by Congress.
“The ease with which Putin is undertaking his bloodless coup rivals his invasion into Ukraine after a series of strategic maneuvers to disable any resistance,” Jacobus wrote, “including a cyber attack on Ukraine’s government, and installing his own loyalists on the inside long before that. Hindsight being 20/20, the signs have been there for months.”
U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed Russia interfered in the 2016 election, and Trump’s CIA director Mike Pompeo affirmed Monday that they would try again during this year’s midterms — yet GOP lawmakers and the president don’t seem worried.

In case her name is unfamiliar, perhaps her face will be recognizable for those who were sentient in the W era.
