A growing number of Republicans fear that a battery of new revelations in the far-reaching Russia investigation has dramatically heightened the legal and political danger to Donald Trump’s presidency — and threatens to consume the rest of the party as well.

President Trump added to the tumult Saturday by announcing the abrupt exit of his chief of staff, John F. Kelly, whom he sees as lacking the political judgment and finesse to steer the White House through the treacherous months to come.

Trump remains headstrong in his belief that he can outsmart adversaries and weather any threats, according to advisers. In the Russia probe, he continues to roar denials, dubiously proclaiming that the latest allegations of wrongdoing by his former associates “totally clear” him.

2. But they are still ain't saying or doing anything about it.

Where the fuck is Graham, Flake, Corker, Grassley, Collins, Paul and others from the senate. We already know the house GOPs are covering up crimes as well.

4. You have to wonder what promises were made

(or threats) to guarantee their support.

How many of them are compromised by Russian intel or money? We know about a few of them but what about the rest?
