Sens. Graham and Grassely want to protect Trump at any cost and destroy informants??

The giant elephant obstructing justice left and right (Trump) is sitting in the Oval Office, and they want to bring charges against the person that blew open the criminal conspiracy of Trump and co.

Wow. Shameless is what they are.

Can you imagine the non-ending prosecutions that should be happening?! And the costs?

I'm thinking of another thing too that I cannot put into print here. Over half of the elected officials in DC and their staffs are criminal. We're officially a banana republic.

Is there any possibility of real justice any more? They let the BFEE go without even a slap.

i wish I had confidence in Mueller that this investigation would actually go where the facts take it but

if past investigations are the norm a few peops will take the fall for every1 like north,and cheney's aid

hopefully enough citizens are paying attention to seth abrams tweets to keep this from being swept under the rug

BUT will he be allowed to do his job? Trump's gonna have him fired by hook or crook. Then we will hit the streets! Stop work. Etc.

My hubs thinks Trump will call for martial law!! Following Hitler's playbook.

We cannot let these Nazis win.

If it was just Trump and a few others in the White House, they likely wouldn't be so passive before Trump... but, I'm thinking it must go beyond just the White House to maybe the RNC and Capital Hill.

Senator Grassley has no relationship with Barbara’s husband and wouldn’t recognise him if he saw him,” the spokesman added.

Ledeen and her husband have been influential – and controversial – players in conservative circles in Washington for decades.

Michael Ledeen, Barbara’s husband, is a historian and former Reagan administration official who helped to develop the secret programme to sell US arms to Iran in the late 1980s, in what is known as the Iran-Contra affair.

Sat Jan 6, 2018, 03:13 PM
Jan 2018

A close associate of Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn arranged a covert investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state, and through intermediaries turned to a person with knowledge of the “dark web” for help.
Flynn is personally and ideologically linked to Barbara Ledeen, a longtime conservative activist who works for the Republican senator Chuck Grassley on the Senate judiciary committee – which is now investigating alleged links between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Covert entry into the dark web by GOP operative! Did she make contact with Russian hacker? Not a normal congressional staff person too.

37. Duma Approves Tax Breaks For Sanctions-Hit Russians
Sat Jan 6, 2018, 05:27 PM
Jan 2018

March 22,2017
Russia's lower house of parliament has approved legislation to exempt Russians who are under Western sanctions from paying tax in Russia if they are registered as taxpayers in foreign countries.

The bill, passed in its third and final reading in the State Duma on March 22, also exempts such individuals from declaring their incomes.It will become law if approved in the upper house and signed by President Vladimir Putin.

The legislation, initiated by ruling United Russia party lawmaker Andrei Makarov, also grants Russians under sanctions the right to receive a refund on taxes paid to the Russian treasury since 2014 if they prove their status as a foreign tax resident.

https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-duma-approves-tax-breaks-sanctions-hit-russians/28384241.html

Also Makariv said “we have one man in this country we all must trust ur President(Putin).”

He looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Now I think I know why. These assholes thought they could get away with treason. At that moment, he realized both the GOP and himself personally were about to be outted as conspirators.

Everything he's done since then is proof positive that he is guilty of a crime.

as long as he keeps signing everything they put in front of him. What we are seeing now is really no president at all. Just a robot with a pen in his hand. I doubt he has read anything he has signed. If Trump was intelligent enough to start questioning the legislation coming out of Congress they would get rid of him tomorrow.
