It's The Hit Dog That Yelps

Just my opinion, but I personally believe that a lot of Republicans are guilty of a myriad of crimes associated with Trump and his administration.

Of course, there are different degrees of guilt. There are those who actively and knowingly participated, to those who knew what was going on and looked the other way – and everything in between.

I’m watching the behaviour of Republicans in office these days, because Trump’s staunchest defenders sound like yelping dogs, who react as though they’ve been hit every time another aspect of probable corruption within their “pResident’s” administration is revealed.

Watch who the loudest yelpers are – they’re the most guilty, the ones with the most to lose when Trump goes down. They’re not trying to protect him – they are trying to protect their own vulnerable asses. They don’t act out of fear of their Dear Leader – they are acting out of fear of what will be revealed about their own crimes.

They've all immersed themselves in the pool of Russian rubles, and now they're all trying to cover their asses. Every one of these kleptocrats and oligarch wannabes deserve to be locked up in a federal supermax.

Are they Russiapublicans or Pootypublicans? I don't want to offend with improper forms of address.

Sure are a lot of yelpers in the Senate, for sure.

All of them,and then are not punished then we live with yet another example of how rich people get away with more than poor people. Let them eat cake is coming to mind, but so is off with their heads.

perhaps a more applicable adage would be: He who smelt it dealt it.

Just what does Pooty have on those who voted to make Deripaska richer, when they won't vote to pay U.S. workers?

since Putin also hacked the RNC for years. There must be many who are worried about what they have been doing and hiding that Putin can blackmail them on.
