I hope the Dems take a look at this, if we take back Congress this November. That's a big IF, but possible. IF there is evidence that Trump's crimes resulted in his election, or if there's proof that Russia's activities resulted in his election.
I suspect that NO ONE in govt will admit it, even if it's true. Because they don't want the public not to have trust in the election system. Even if it can't be trusted. That includes some Democrats, too. Besides, it would be hard to prove. We would have to accept that the crimes are so egregious that is beyond a reasonable doubt that the illegal activities resulted in a false result.

Yes, that's a big one. IMO, those who supported T after that, lost their souls.

Yes. So much damage. Much of it irreversible. Putin did a job on the country, w/T's help. nt

I don't feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for us. Her platform was what America heeded to move

I am amazed we don't have a tool to declare an election false, and to do it over.

The downside to that is that I saw references indicating that he was suggesting that in 2017!
