McConnell & Ryan & GOP fall out

I honestly Believe Trump & Pence will be impeached and a friend said "oh, great a Paul Ryan Presidency. But I honestly believe Ryan and McConnell will face charges as well. Yes, no evidence just gut feeling. When the "pussyfooting tape" came out Ryan and the GOP should have thrown Trump off the ticket. I couldn't understand why they didn't unless being blackmailed by Russia (yes, I believe Russia hacked the RNC to use info against those that do not have money ties to Russia)

I honestly also can't understand why people aren't making a fuss about McConnell and his threat to the gang of 8 about revealing the evidence before the election. He threaten to make it a partisan campaign.

I am sorry if this has been talked about I am just frustrated how slow it seems to go at times. I just heard from a person who voted for TRump and Racist and are very happy the Republicans are "putting democrats in their place" and if they had help for. Russia it was a good plan to get the "right" people in Charge.

I have been reading a lot of Greg Palast articles and it blows my mind what is being discovered...

Are my hopes too high? Will the truth be revealed?

If Pence is impeached/resigns first, a new VP will be appointed.

If Trump then is impeached or resigns, that new VP will become President.

If Trump goes first, Pence is president, and if he does not finish his term for whatever reason, his VP will be President.

and that his son and he had photo copied about every document from the dump tower campaign office.

Also, he mentioned that Flynn had strong motivation to squeal a lot because Flynn was looking at 5 years for each lie he told. Just a thought...but with all that evidence....

Chaffetz was blackmailed for being gay. BUt he came out to his wife and I guess she knows he has a boyfriend. That's why he is leaving Congress. I shocked that Faux will take his gay ass, but it looks like they will.
