And the GOP Congress refuses to do anything about it. What the hell do we do then?

I do not know if that is a crime. And if it is a crime they will get pardoned (Fed crime). The fake prez can pardon Fed crimes but not state crimes.

Therefore what we must do is resist and boycott. This is going to fall on the citizens eventually and patriotism and civil disobedience will make a comeback. We will have to do it in a loud, strong, consistant and huge way (much larger that what occurred during the ACA repeal). If women get it going it will take off. The majority of those who are not happy with him and/or want him impeached is women. The resistance also must include boycotts from businesses and CEOs. That worked with getting Bill O'Reilly off the air and the various business that pulled out of 45's special committees, councils, private businesses and reservations for renting his properties, etc.

KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

RNC chief of staff resigns amid rash of departures

Source: Politico

Sara Armstrong, the top staffer at the Republican National Committee, is departing, according to three people familiar with the move — the latest in a string of high-level departures at the committee.

Armstrong, the RNC's chief of staff, is exiting to take a senior job at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. She had been serving in the chief of staff role since early this year after helping to oversee President Donald Trump's inauguration planning.

Armstrong is the sixth staffer to leave the RNC in just over the month. A handful of aides in the committees data department have left recently amid a change in departmental leadership.
