The facts are indisputable that RNC/GOP traded off America to Russia for power, money and over all of this is their willing participation in treason. Trump has done what Putin required of him that is he kept USA eyes off Russia’s actions by creating chaos and division between Americans. In 2015/16 I thought the RNC/GOP had been hacked along with the DNC, when the snippets of info came out about the cash payments Russia was making to Trump, I wasn’t surprised. When the GOP/RNC changed the party platform to disarm Ukraine soldiers, fighting to keep their sovereignty I believed the Republicans were blackmailed into this platform change in order that they not be exposed by the info the Russians found in their email.
That was what I thought for the longest time until a few actions that by themselves weren’t weird but put together was damning to the Trump WH and Republicans. Trump asked Comey to excuse Michael Flynn’s treasonous phone calls (which had been found out by FBI/CIA under a FARA warrant), Comey was fired for not complying with Trumps agenda, and Republicans started going to Russia July 4th weekend for “instruction”.
Trump entertained Russian leaders in the Oval Office and kowtowed to them...that was, for me a complete outrage!
Finally when Trump called the new Ukraine leader, the recording was put into a very secure dark file that couldn’t be accessed as it was declared highly classified. Alarm bells were ringing,. Republicans did absolutely nothing to reign Trump in, they have said nothing to his deregulation, his skimming, kickbacks and racist, xenophobic agenda and said nothing when Trump separated children from their parents at the Mexican/American border, beleaguered people who had come for asylum from war torn countries, instead of just hearing their cases, they were imprisoned while their children were caged in warehouses.
Republicans have a lot to answer for, they can’t just be left to be the “official opposition” without paying for the position they’ve put America in with our allies around the world. Republicans have left America divided, troubled and in vast debt, as they have since the turn of the 20th century.
I am actually humbled from reading this. It is so simple...yet, as deep as the ocean. What a fantastic piece of journalism. So concise and expertly laid out. I want to go back to the buffet for seconds. ( But only virtually .. because buffets 😷 ) Thank you so much Mr Harris.
A well documented timeline of betrayal by the GOP, Trump and one of the worst of traitors, Mike Flynn, his 2 brothers deserve some mention here as well.
Thanks Aaron for an excellent read, Greg for your usual Prevail virtuosity!

What a mess! I got conned into registering as a Green before I gave up and left the country (too poor to live in this USA in 1992). I shudder at the thought of how I might have helped anything to do with Russia. I had no idea all this was going on.
Criminal betrayal. Great timeline article. Flynn dirty in Saudi Arabia, 2016, chasing dollars.
Should also prosecute Flynn’s son.

Mary. Awesome narrative. Prosecute all with extreme prejudice.

Russia without Ukraine is just a haven for pirates, not even a republic..
