Remember when republicans tried to end the Mueller probe over 'unmasking'?

Caroline O. @RVAwonk 7h7 hours ago
Remember when Trump, Devin Nunes, & co. tried to turn the NSC's "unmasking" process into a scandal?

Flash forward a year: The same people just helped to publicly expose an informant's identity in an attempt to undermine a federal investigation and protect Trump.

2018: the year the GOP forced the outing of a person trying to protect America’s National security from Russian intervention and their domestic colluders. Pretty amazing

Trump has been openly calling for the identification of the informant in an effort to discredit and obstruct the investigation, along with his sycophants in Congress. These actions seem to be a direct obstruction. Could Rosenstein bring charges since it’s all on record?

all of those meetings appear to have been pretty damn innocuous.

The fact the WH and certain douchebags in Congress want to unveil his identity, risking maybe his life but certainly other open investigations is a blatant manifestation of paranoia.

Watergate - 2 years - Nixon
Whitewater - 3 years - Bill Clinton
Benghazi - 2 years 4 months - Hillary Clinton
Russiagate - 1 year - trump

Vote to defeat the repubs in November. We can at least slow/stop the repubs from interfering with the Russiagate investigation.
