Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller, common thread

All Repubs, all gutless when it comes to performing required job skill, all initially given the benefit of the doubt by many Dems.

We need to immediately stop projecting our morals onto them. Until numerous Repubs prove it wrong, the default needs to be that ALL Repubs will put Party above Country.

IMO there are numerous reasons why they behave this way, but not our job to fix them AND the mess left in their collective wake. It is not our job to treat them with respect, in fact that provides them cover and is likely the largest reason why the behavior is repeated.

I know, I was numerous times. But until they prove otherwise we are forced to believe it. And I want to hear detailed reasons why they took the path prior to giving them any benefit of the doubt. Hating tRump is not enough. For example Steve Schmidt provided a detailed explanation. Even with that I would always be concerned about his agenda.

was a stealth skunk who gave the impression he was keeping trump from firing Mueller when he was actually stopping Mueller's team from really digging into the trump/Russia alliance.

Mueller, sadly, was past his prime as we finally saw in the Congressional hearing, and his republican loyalty led him to trusting that skank Barr.

You're right, republicans put keeping their positions of power above even saving the country from domestic and foreign enemies.
