Russia interfering with our elections is a real serious threat to our democracy. To make things worse - a lot of what's being labeled coincidence by the Repug Party - collusion between Trump's campaign team and Trump's transition team further exacerbates this situation.
What we've been witnessing since election day is the Repug's circling the wagons and protecting Trump and the people that surround him and as such - protecting Putin and the Russian interference.
I ask this serious question - are there no patriots left in the Repug Party - because - unless the Repug Party is up to it's neck involved in the collusion itself - why haven't any of the Party leaders stepped up to the plate and really demanded and pushed for getting to the bottom of this whole controversy? Just to put it behind them if as Trump is saying this is fake news.
Not stepping up signals - the Repug Party is part and parcel to the collusion - and not stepping up to demand getting to the bottom of this controversy is tainting the Party just as much. It suggests a major cover-up is going on behind the scenes which is just a damming.
What this country needs now is for seasoned Repug Party leaders to step up to the plate and demand once and for all a Special Independent Investigation - non-partisan - to get to the bottom of this whole controversy. These Party leaders must put country before Party and let the chips fall where they may - even if it implicates Trump and company and the Party itself.
Either way - stepping up and letting the chips fall where they may or - not stepping up to the plate to demand this will lead to the demise of the Party itself.
If - as some in the Party are saying - there is no there - there - isn't it in the Party's best interest to find that out and put it behind them?
Where are the patriot's in the Repug Party. Come on guys/gals - step up to the plate and do your job!!!!!

(25,241 posts)and Repug Party members are threatened - just like those in Russia - that go against the Party?
Are rank and file Repugs in Congress fearing for their lives or the lives of their families? Is that why none of them are stepping up to the plate to put Country before Party?
