The GOP Is Helping Trump Evade Accountability

February 7, 2018 at 11:58 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Greg Sargent: “Here’s where we are today: President Trump’s allies fear that refusing an interview with the special counsel, as his lawyers want, could trigger a destructive showdown that could go all the way to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the White House is still mulling whether to release Rep. Adam Schiff’s rebuttal to the Nunes memo — which means suppressing it remains a real possibility.”

“Both are a reminder that, generally speaking, it remains unknown just how far Trump will go to evade accountability. And that’s why you should pay attention to the argument under way among center-right writers over just how much damage Trump is doing and just how complicit the GOP is in enabling that damage.”

It's part of the Republican playbook: Always deny responsibility or accountability and always blame the Democrats.

Additionally, GOP candidates know that many of them have accepted campaign funds from Russian sources. They cannot let that come to light as it's illegal.
