Can you say WTF? No collusion in the election? Try ongoing collusion in our democracy!
Just a little detail that’s spilled out exposing the depth and breadth of Russia’s meddling not only in our election, but in our government, then and now. Their meddling is portrayed primarily in the media as a done deal, with reports breathlessly and thankfully sighing in relief that “no votes were changed during the 2016 election”, and now it’s over, and we’re safe. As the latest NYT story points out, zero point zero of the alloted $120 million dollars has been spent by the State Dept to prevent further meddling, Trump has not ordered the NSA’s Mike Rodgers to do anything about it, and he seems to be not overly concerned with taking action without direct orders.
This is terrible. This is heinous. This is treason in plain sight. What else has transpired that hasn’t dripped out yet? We have to rely on voters knowing all this by November 2018, and pray that Mueller ties all this together and wraps it up, soon.

Former MI6 spy Christopher Steele has reportedly told special counsel Robert Mueller that he believes the Russian government directly intervened to block President Donald Trump from appointing Mitt Romney as his secretary of state.
In a New Yorker profile of Steele published Monday, reporter Jane Mayer writes that Steele — who authored the infamous Fusion GPS dossier alleging deep ties between President Donald Trump and the Russian government — wrote a memo in late 2016 claiming that Russia worked to stop then-President elect Trump from making noted Russia hawk Romney his chief diplomat.
“This memo, which did not surface publicly with the others, is shorter than the rest, and is based on one source, described as ‘a senior Russian official,'” writes Mayer. “The official said that he was merely relaying talk circulating in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but what he’d heard was astonishing: people were saying that the Kremlin had intervened to block Trump’s initial choice for Secretary of State, Mitt Romney.”
And as we of course now know, Russian Order of Friendship recipient Rex Tillerson eventually won the job.
What will it take for republicans — legislators and voters alike- to care?
