1. Traitor Trump, Traitor Republicans

[democratisphere]

2. WTF is this about?!

More obstruction by the collective criminal rethuglicon body colluding with Russia.

4. I just spotted this on Twitter tonight, and it's from yesterday...

...one of those blink and miss it stories in the midst of Trump's crapstorm news cycle...so I wanted to share it here. Pretty safe bet that it's not water cooler talk and that a whole lot of people aren't aware of it, or are just numb to anything that has "Russia" in the conversation. But yes, this is the kind of stuff they're getting away with.

9. Be interesting to see what happens about this after the Congressional

Summer recess. I smell more conspiracy and collusion stirred in with obstruction and of course corruption.

Thanks for the exposure of THIS new crime Miles Archer!

13. Treason is what it is. Or you can call it conspiracy against the United States.

Whatever, this is pure unadulterated rape of our democracy.

[SCantiGOP]

3. This is part of their strategy

We all have “outrage fatigue.”
In a normal world, this would be a front page scandal.

[Miles Archer]

5. Agreed...I replied above before reading your response...great minds think alike once again.

8. Moscow (Republican half of) FEC? Moscow NRA?

Moscow REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're all traitors in deed and principle.

(and don't give a fyck if they are).

Rise up Democrats and defend your country from these invaders.

10. And their president whines to Rachel, "My hands are tied." Then this. Now what.

[struggle4progress]

11. "We shouldn't ask because we might not like the answer!"

[Sneederbunk]

12. Rachel will be on this Monday.

[triron]

15. I will look forward to it.

[oasis]

14. Traitor Trump and Moscow Mitch must be stopped.

We have to take the House, Senate and the WH. It will take Dems to save America.

[pecosbob]

16. If officials refuse to act in the face of demonstrable crimes, they should be removed from office

for nonfeasance. One solution to strengthen campaign finance law would be to make the body independent from the Executive.

[triron]

17. Our system is rigged for dictatorship it seems to me.

[pecosbob]

18. It is difficult to reconcile with the Jeffersonian concept of equality

[librechik]

19. These Republicans are traitors in the classic sense.

Their actions are illegal unconstitutional and intolerable.

Everything has turned to shit under this president.

[triron]

20. Our system does not have adequate checks on power abuse clearly.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. Moscow Mitch and the Russiapublicans know where the money comes from

Kremlin Don is allowed to run around, barking in his cage, but the Gangsters Of Putin must preserve and protect their owners from investigations.

[triron]

22. I like your new acronym.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. it is justifiable

They continue to provide evidence of their loyalties.

[triron]

24. Will Rachel cover this tonite?

[triron]

25. Rachel said nary a word about this. I'm sort of shocked..

Is she under some kind of pressure from her bosses at MSNBC?
