... “We should look into it exhaustively so that at the end of this process nobody wonders whether there was a stone left unturned, and shouldn't reach conclusions before you have the information that you need to have to make those conclusions,” Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), a member of the Senate intelligence committee and vice chairman of the Senate Republican conference, told a St. Louis radio station.

Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, both longtime skeptics of Trump, joined Blunt in asking that Flynn account for what happened.

1. They all need to choose which side of this they're going to be on.

There's a right side and a wrong side. Everyone knows which is which. And we'll remember.

2. Any R with even an ounce of sense about their own political future

needs to cut Trump loose NOW, and sign on to the right side of history.

That's not to say that the racists, bigots and anti-Constitutional segment of the American populace that will support Rs fantasies and lies no matter what will ever change their minds and recognize the truth. They won't. But politicians will not be able to survive the apparent giant corrective that is looming for DC if they don't come out against Trump and his cabal.

5. if republicans are getting on board it might be the beginning of the end

most of us knew there would be treason but I am a little surprised that this is rolling already, I suppose it is possible Trump has outlived his usefulness now that the cabinent is stacked the way they wanted it. What these republicans need to realize is that their constituents, the ones that vote in ever single congressional election, think of Russia as the USSR still and the enemy, they do not see it the way that millennials do. Even to us Gen Xers it is communist Russia. To these folks, boomers and beyond, Russia is still a very bad guy, they still think of all Russians as 'commies' and there is no way, none, that this is going to be explainable to voters like that.
