it's like many republican politicians and in his administration and cabinet are pro-Russian. Look at the unqualified Dejoy over the USPS and the damage he is doing. They are destroying democracy.

We need ads up today getting these types of excerpts to the American people in more easily digestible form to counter any October surprise by Barr.


In his memorandum to Deripaska, Manafort stated that "We are now of the belief that this model can greatly benefit the Putin Government if employed at the correct levels with the appropriate commitments to success"

We have never seen the Mueller report. We've only see the Mueller report after Barr redacted it. And most people have only read the Barr synopsis of the Mueller report.

Mueller also wouldn't challenge the memo stating that a sitting President could not be indicted. Rosenstein also limited some of the investigatory avenues Mueller could have taken, such as the Trump Tower meeting. While I feel that Mueller could have been more assertive in some matters he still did a pretty good job. I would give him a B-.

when I thought I heard him say to his guest (Adam Schiff) something to the effect that this maybe was not a crime but was certainly an attack on and against democracy? Schiff responded with something in summation like it was counter to any decency. WTF?! Not a crime?? Was I hearing them right? Common sense says: Shouldn’t they be saying that this was unquestionably a crime!
