The National Socialist Party of America is exactly as corrupt and in debt to a hostile foreign power as all the evidence suggests....I think a lot more evidence, the evidence Obama preserved, is yet to come in a tsunami of truth.

Comrades Flynn, Sessions, Kushner and others are just the tip of the Russian iceberg of deceit and illegal electoral influence.

I want to make sure I understand your statement.
Is the "National Socialist Party of America" really the Republican Party, or something different?

I don't believe the Russians follow Nazi philosophy, it's more like the Mafia philosophy and Putin is their Don. But they have lots of other Dons too, it's more of an oligarchy.

General Smedley Butler was a hero when he ratted out a planned fascist coup. One member of the coup was one of Hitler's Angels, Prescott Bush.

I did not know about this.
That is what I was told.
I did not know that happened.

Seems there is a hell of a lot that he does not know about what is going on in his administration. Not that I am surprised.

Hence any collusion is not treasonous but you might get to call it espionage. Never mind that the United States and Russia plan mutually assured destruction based on response times against each other, they are rivals not enemies.

That too must be a misunderstanding
