If you still have any conservative connections, tell them this:

even the National Review says the witches are real and the Mueller investigation must go on.

The National Review is the conservative publication founded by William F. Buckley.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/07/robert-muellers-indictments-show-witches-are-very-real/

“Russia, if you’re listening,” Trump said publicly on July 27, 2016, “I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.”

Interestingly, it appears the Russians may indeed have been listening. “After hours” on July 27, the conspirators “for the first time” targeted “email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton’s personal office,” according to Friday’s indictment.

There will be much more analysis and dot-connecting in the coming days, some of it valuable and much of it specious. But for now here are four key takeaways:

1. This indictment demonstrates why it’s important that Mueller be permitted to finish his work. Our nation needs to know what happened in 2016, and Mueller — through both the social-media indictment and the hacking indictment — has provided a clearer picture of the precise details of alleged Russian election meddling than any other source. This is a valuable public service, and to the extent that he can hold the actual conspirators accountable, it’s also an act of necessary justice.

Which means that helping them could have been an act of treason.

Unprecedented, Not Normal, Stunning and maybe even "interfered."

We need to start to verbally grab throats and use language that is a bit more bombastic.

I'll start:

A hostile foreign power and conspirators to the United States of America stole our election and robbed the American people of democracy and truth. They continue to conspire while those now in power turn a blind eye and purposely ignore this reality in order to maintain that ill-gotten control of government and destroy the Constitution that they swore to defend and uphold. For money.

Now for the bombastic part. Fuck them.

Tell us how you really feel.

That being said, I agree with you. Let's drop the word 'meddling' and start using the word stealing, as in hijacking an election and installing a Russian asset into the White House. The Republicans enabled and conspired with a thief--a loud-mouth con-artist--and with a foreign adversary to commit fraud against the United States of America.

May their souls rot in hell and their lives know the pleasures of lo-o-ng prison sentences.

And yes, fuck 'em all.
