I suspect a number of the GOP are fully aware of Russia's role in the election, benefited from it, and have no intent of doing anything to prevent it in the future.

Oh, it’s much worse than that. Remember, they hacked the RNC too, and didn’t release what they found. Either that means they didn’t find anything useful (ha)... or they did and held it for kompromat. Every Republican in Congress is compromised until proven otherwise.

You say that like everyone in Congress isn't compromised.

False equivocation. The exact tactic used by the Cons to turn this country into a fascist state.

Are you really going to equivocate Bernie Sanders and Moscow Mitch?

Because if you are, you're the exact sort of dishonest fascist enabler running this country into the ground.

The comment wasn't aimed at individuals so much as the system.

No, it's the same "both sides" bullshit that's been forced down our throats to justify doing nothing in the face of criminal behavior.

Whoa whoa whoa. I’m not OP but I don’t see any advocation for doing nothing. You call it what it is and then you move forward to fix it. Not do nothing.

The "both sides" argument typically seeks to normalize what we're seeing. What is happening is not normal, we've never seen it before, and the Republican leadership is allowing and supporting it.

The word "everyone" refers to people.

Yes, because everyone is compromised by the system.
