With no honest brokers left at State, Justice, etc...

Do you think with the seriousness of our diplomats being stalked and threatened by the executive branch and surrogates, the House will start impeachment proceedings to protect our diplomats? There is zero US movement to investigate, of course because, Barr was in the loop and part of the direct threat to Yovanovitch. What other avenue is left? Mass diplomatic resignations to protect themselves? That's what has been happening at the Pentagon. Man, we're in deep shit up to our necks in Russian mob rule.

I have no doubt there are others who are targets. Just like:

from the US. With the top officials involved in the threats and scam, so how is that to happen?

Plus, President Zelinsky keeps repeating he didn't feel pressured, even though there is direct evidence to the contrary. If he admits he was pressured, he will face the wrath of putin and trump. He may have ran on anti corruption, but he's tied to trump mob now, and all roads lead to putin when it comes to trump.
