Many of us on DU have wondered if Trump, Putin or others had info to blackmail GOP leadership. Their failure to oppose Shitler on virtually anything is mind-boggling.
Yes, they are all about staying in power at any cost, but their refusal to stand up for ANYTHING is simply astounding.

Paul Ryan
Mitch McConnel
Mike Pence
Did they get ensnared in CA too?

CA gathered the goods and then they were likely also passed along to Putin via Aleksandr Kogan to use as kompromat.

And of course, CA was a Mercer operation, and they contributed lots of money to Republicans as well.
It's all so tied together I've become cross-eyed just trying to glom onto an overview of sorts, nevermind getting all the details lined up and in order.
