It wasn't much more than ten days ago t it was announced that the Trump administration had missed the deadline for implementing the sanctions on Russia for interfering in the presidential election. They were passed almost unanimously by both houses and signed by the President. To my knowledge nothing else has come of this publicly.We all know what Trump's attitude has been towards anything to do with Russians and the election. This has national security implications. If the sanctions are not imposed, this is definitely and impeachable offense. With Trump's ability at distraction, this issue appears to have been lost in the shuffle.

Refusing to implement sanctions against a foreign adversary is clearly less important than the crime of giving citizens more time to sign up for healthcare.
