    Yeah it would have been really hard to accept any advice from the acting AG. She was such a partisan hack.

    Hey remember when people were upset Obama didn't rake Russia over the coals for the potential violation of the INF treaty? Welp, looks like Russia is violating it now.

    Hail Trump. He can do no wrong.

    The Teflon President.

    Apparently enough evidence for the NSA to resign in less than 3 weeks.

    This goes all the way to the top. Trump needs to be held accountable for the corruption in his own administration. This is the THIRD person connected to Trump to be connected illicitly to Russia. Time to hold the President accountable. Hopefully the party over country Republicans wake up, grow a spine, and do their jobs.

    And she was vindicated. Sally Yates 2020; I'd vote for her. She's clearly the only one with any integrity that has ever been in the Trump administration.

    I'm upset that Russia isn't being "raked over the coals".

    If this is a violation of the INF, I would be too.
    Still, I wonder, how many of the State Dept actual arms control experts are still there to go through the proper channels for the treaty?
    The whole point of the INF was to deescalate nuclear war in Europe. A violation or collapse of the treaty would be the greatest threat to Europe since 1989.

    You mean, basically, starting his job a month early? Scandalous.

    And there it is. The spin is real.

    No accountability anymore in the Republican party. Just blame and deflect. Embarrassing.

    I understand your skepticism but we simply aren't able to know.

    Republican controlled Congress could launch an investigation. That would require putting country over party though.

    Time will tell.

    Great and the other GOP Senators?

    This should be the #1 priority in the country right now. We can't have a foreign government pulling the strings of the United States. This is treason!

    Funny. Had there been no accountability or an ounce of integrity he would still be holding the job, no? Hard to understand for you, I know, given your party's 'circle the wagon at all costs' philosophy.

    They knew MONTHS ago before he was nominated that he was a vulnerable BLACKMAIL threat from Russia. Trump nominated him anyway.

    THAT IS TREASON.

    But Party over Country; the GOP way. Truly disgusting.

    Treason could be illegal leaks, or enslaving The People with $10 trillion in debt in just two terms in office.

    Indict the Republican Congress then.

    Just a weekly reminder, Donald Trump is a Republican.

    This will be important to remember once the GOP abandons ship after they ruin the country. GOP owns Trump. Republicans have green lighted everything Trump has done so far and approve of Trump.

    Trump is a Republican.
