When are the republicans in congress going to stop covering for trump? When trump

provides classified information to the Russians, the leadership in congress has no problem with it. When the director of the FBI is fired by trump, the leadership in congress has no problem with it, and now it comes out that trump asked Comey in February to stop the investigation of Michael Flynn, the silence from republicans is deafening.

Unlike Nixon whose administration was part of the cover-up, it appears that the entire republican party is involved in the cover-up.

Something very wrong is going on. Is this last interference by trump with the FBI going to finally motivate republicans to do the right thing?

I doubt it, and I base that the headline of at foxnews.com:

"COMEY's REVENGE? White House pushes back on report trump asked ex-FBI boss to end FLynn probe"

When trump said in January that he could shoot someone in the middle of a crowded street, and would not lose his supporters, it is looking more and more that is correct

this is unbelievable what is happening

It is additionally disturbing that they are able to keep the entire republican caucus silent. Does the leadership or someone outside of the government blackmail them?
