Opinion piece on how GOP might bail on 45*.
It is naive, imo. It really doesn’t address the apparently compromised GOP. McConnell is deeply into Russian Rubles. How many others are?

@Myrth We have a tape of Paul Ryan telling fellow Republicans that he believed Trump was taking money from Russia. If I were Mueller, I would wonder how he had come to believe that, since it was both far-fetched and 100% accurate, and I might ask a judge for an order to subpoena some emails...
@Myrth Ah, actually Kevin McCarthy said it, then Ryan told everyone to keep it secret rather than asking, "Why do you think that?" This was in June 2016, a month before Trump had the nomination.

Ah, but that convo referenced ONLY 2 who are paid by Russia, dRumpf and Rohrabacher. But the more I read, McConnell and possibly much of GOP gets $$ from GOP.
Why won’t McConnell bring the bill to #ProtectMueller to the floor for a vote? He’s scared of Mueller too. The whole damned bunch of them are, Mark my words.
Oh, I just re-read my toot. That came out wrong. The took money from Russia.
Some of that was laundered through NRA. Some came from others with Russia connections.
