RACHEL MADDOW: TRUMP IS QUARTERBACKING A NATIONAL GOP CRIME SCANDAL

RACHEL MADDOW: TRUMP IS QUARTERBACKING A NATIONAL GOP CRIME SCANDAL

JASON EASLEY MSNBC, RACHEL MADDOW, TOP NEWS MON, APR 29TH, 2024

https://www.politicususa.com/2024/04/29/rachel-maddow-trump-gop-crime.html

"SNIP.............

Maddow said after pointing out that state Republican officials in Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada are all facing criminal charges related to Trump’s attempted coup, “I know him being on trial for multiple felonies is an amazing and unprecedented and frankly astonishing spectacle. But stick a pin in that idea of astonishing. Because the crime he is alleged to have quarterbacked, to try to keep himself in power despite losing an election, that crime is now a sprawling nationwide scandal that has resulted in dozens of Republican officials, in almost all of the swing states, being criminally charged and in all of the prominent lawyers involved in that effort, either being criminally charged or having their law licenses put at risk or both.”

..............

Maddow brought up the point that almost everyone seems to miss. Trump is the quarterback of team GOP crime, but the party has been brought along with him. This means that the Republican Party itself is now a criminal operation at the federal, state, and even local levels.

Donald Trump is the headliner of the crime wave, but there is a whole touring company allegedly committing crimes by his side.

No one should believe that if Trump went away tomorrow, the Republican Party would return to normal. The GOP has its party DNA mutated in the image of Trump. Crime is a part of who they are now, and getting rid of the source will not make the infection completely disappear.

submitted fake electoral counts? I'm afraid their congressional immunity for what they say on the floor may prevent legal action.

So if it wasn't Trump it would have been someone like him because look at Bush JR. as an example of the party starting to take the white sheet off and being proud of what was under it.

But Dubya Bush and the neocons were a gateway drug to trumpism.

My brain is having a real hard time summoning the imagery of Donald Trump as a quarterback.

I love a good metaphor, but the only locker room he'd ever get in is at a Miss Teen America pageant.

They all made that decision BEFORE the last election. They are all GUILTY of INSURRECTION. How the hell do you put 130 republicans in prison? That IS what needs to happen, especially if we win in November. We cannot let this slide by. THEY will NOT stop if we let them try another time.
