Republicans close ranks around Trump during Comey testimony

[TomCADem]

And Republicans actually think it is unfair that voters tie them to Trump? Well, perhaps they should stop walking in lock-step with him.

In early January, before Donald Trump was sworn in as president, Sen. Marco Rubio took a brief turn as the highest-profile Republican critic of Trump’s emerging foreign policy.

Rubio (R-Fla.) opened his questioning at the Jan. 11 confirmation hearing for Rex Tillerson, Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, with blistering questions about whether the ExxonMobil CEO believed that Russians, at the behest of President Vladi­mir Putin, had interfered with the 2016 presidential election.

Five months later, Trump’s onetime GOP campaign rival displayed a far different demeanor. In Thursday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing with James B. Comey, the fired FBI director who testified about his interactions with Trump before his dismissal, Rubio used his seven-minute stint to blunt allegations that the president’s behavior toward Comey constituted an obstruction of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation of Russia.

Once dismissed by Trump as “Little Marco,” Rubio even homed in on the issue that has most animated the president: leaks of information damaging to him.

2. The GOP is bracing for RICO indictments...

but the bad news for them is that they're still acting like racketeers, as if they're in denial that they accepted laundered Russian money to fund their 2016 campaigns.

That's their priorities.
