"So all the 'fake news' was true. A hostile foreign power intervened in the presidential election, hoping to install Donald Trump in the White House. The Trump campaign was aware of this intervention and welcomed it. And once in power, Trump tried to block any inquiry into what happened.
Never mind attempts to spin this story as somehow not meeting some definitions of collusion or obstruction of justice. The fact is that the occupant of the White House betrayed his country. And the question everyone is asking is, what will Democrats do about it?
But notice that the question is only about Democrats. Everyone (correctly) takes it as a given that Republicans will do nothing. Why?
Because the modern G.O.P. is perfectly willing to sell out America if that’s what it takes to get tax cuts for the wealthy. Republicans may not think of it in those terms, but that’s what their behavior amounts to." (our emphasis) -- Nobel Prize laureate Paul Krugman, in a New York Times op-ed. This quote doesn't do justice to Dr. Krugman's masterful description of the state of the Rethuglican Party and the Trump regime, so please read the entire column.
(Demagogue and Putin pal Donald "Not Exonerated" Trump apparently read it, because he rage tweeted about it ....at 5:59 this morning; he's clearly lost his grip, not to mention his sleep).
