What about the Others?

Of course, we all hope that when this corrupt presidency ends, everyone with even the remotest degree of culpability (in the burgeoning Russia scandal) gets what they deserve, but with Sessions taking all the heat for perjuring himself during his confirmation hearing, the other TRUMP APPOINTEES who lied during their own confirmations (Tillerson, Price, Mnuchin, Devos, et al) seem to be getting off scot-free.

We have to start holding politicians accountable for the words that come out of their mouths, especially when they're under oath! If someone is suspected of lying under oath, the allegations should be investigated thoroughly and if they're found guilty, they should be forced to resign, period. I understand that holding people accountable while republicans hold the majorities in the House and Senate will be difficult, but if the Truth doesn't matter anymore, we are all doomed.

As it stands, our government has been taken over by a bunch of crooks and liars, and much as I love my country, being a "proud American" is becoming increasingly difficult in this day and age. #Sad.
