Sarah Kendzior...

Trump lies constantly. He commits crimes constantly, and openly. He confesses to the crimes (obstruction) or gets caught lying about the crimes. The same is true of his admin and his accomplices. Nothing happens to most of them because they threaten and bribe.

That's the crisis.

When the Buzzfeed story broke, I didn't feel excited about it, because Trump has not been indicted for his countless other crimes. We do not know the full story of the Buzzfeed report.

We do know he acts with impunity -- impunity that is becoming immunity due to abuse of power.
Those treating a vague denial about one story are missing the big picture, which is that a criminal Russian asset shut down the US government and is consolidating power. That's the crisis.

And it will get worse the more you look for saviors and easy outs. It's a long haul fight.
