this is more in your face outright criminality.

The only reason why Nixon got caught was because of the taxes he owed and of him being asked to show those returns and how his committee to re-elect had diverted that money to the burglars, it was all because of a tax returns.

These "guy's" and "gal's" have committed treason, they were getting paid by a state power and they wrote there platform to benefit a state power in exchange for quid pro quo.

Laurence O'Donnell said it best last night, did anyone hear the right wing fascist republicans ask any questions like the democrats-----------to Clapper, Comey or Moore-----------nope, not one >

They were more interested in "leaks", looking for "talking points" having the democrats provide them with cover, because they the republicans didn't want to upset the base or a president, which is BS-------------they have people in there party more concern to lookout for the next election than trying to figure out who and how many committed treason.

If it was a democrat let's say the name Clinton, it was "lock her up" .
