Remember the RNC servers were hacked too. And whatever the hackers found has never been released, but it may well have produced leverage against some, perhaps many, of the congressional republicans.

Many are Dominionist cultists. Russia is the only other large white Dominionist nation trying to form a bulwark against their imagined enemies.

How Putin's oligarchs funneled millions into GOP campaigns

At what point does the mob (American or Russian) decide Rump is a major liability and declare him free game? You know the FBI is tracking mobsters here in the US. It makes you wonder if they are getting any chatter about how Don the Con wears a size 45 suit (that's mob speak for "Wack him with a 45 caliber to make sure he stays down" ).

Any president will simply be told 'you can't you're not allowed' if the secret service deems a threat situation to be too high.
That having been said...

One of the earliest reports I read on who Robert Mueller really is at his professional core, came to the conclusion that the result of this independent inquiry is that the Russian mob as it exists in the New World is about to be destroyed for AT LEAST A GENERATION.

And Putin won't like that...not one little bit.

What if Rump gives up a few mob secrets, testifies against some big names? They made a HUGE mistake putting him into the single most high profile job in the US. If Mueller plays it right, this could wind up being the largest mobster haul on record. Putin must be like this:

to take down putin too, the world will rejoice.

Gotta remember the Russian people have been so propagandized that it's only about 25% over there that's truly 'woke' to what their leader really is.

I would love nothing more than for that spell to be broken, but unless the mobsters get pissed and off him, that ain't gonna happen.

for sure

1. He is more popular than any of them
2. He does whatever they want him to do

Over the last few decades, they've nurtured a rabid rightwing mob of morons. Republican politicians live in cowardly fear of crossing these kkkonstituents and their manipulative media provocateurs. The worst among them actually throw more gasoline on the fire.

We're all put here on this planet with capability to lift society higher or drag it down into the dirt. Republicans have chosen poorly.

a RICO case is being made, even Jill Winebanks said it today. Malcolm Nance said it at least a year ago.
