Has the Republican Party become a party of criminals?

There is no Republican alive that can say with a straight face that Donald Trump is not a criminal. They were not forced to associate with him. They chose to associate with him.

It was for their Party. It was for their own survival. Since most of their supporters voted for Donald Trump, they had no choice but to go along. They know what is happening to our country.

Yet, they do nothing. They fear the truth.

They run from the truth.

But they cannot hide from the truth.

If they can delegitimize Mueller and the FBI enough, they'll just ignore that whole "Rusher thing" as a partisan attack.

But, if nothing else, they know that Donald Trump is a liar. When can they know if he ever tells them the truth? They don't trust him but that doesn't meant they don't love him.

They have co-opted Christianity to the point where they are synonymous with Jesus. This is calculated on their part and provides them with the cover to do whatever they want.

When religious conservatives - current Trump supporters - try to claim moral superiority in the future. I'm likely to encounter a bit of that; but oy.
