OK, I'll say it: because it implicates the entire senior leadership of the Republican party.

A massive criminal enterprise at the top of American government, bought by Russia with dark money and kompromat.

Not a movie plot. Not a conspiracy theory. Reality.
And PS. some of that kompromat involves Jeffrey Epstein.

We should stop pretending it doesn't. It does.
And just so we understand:

The NRA: dark money route to the GOP.

Butina: compromised the NRA, went home to Russia a star.

McConnell: Russian funded steel plant in KY

Nunes: buddy-buddy with Parnas
Parnas: in bed with EVERYBODY in senior GOP leadership

Also Parnas: funded by Firtash

Giuliani: funded by Parnas, with money from Firtash

Implicated in Ukraine: Trump, Pence, Mulvaney, Barr, Perry, Pompeo, Giuliani

Point of Ukraine: to interfere in 2020 presidential election
Also point of Ukraine: to put blame for Russia's interference in the 2016, which may have thrown the electoral college to Trump and involved direct voter roll interference in key blue districts, plus massive disinformation, plus way more
It's all connected.

We still don't understand how/why others have been compromised.

Add in white supremacy and misogyny and trafficking you've got the entire brew.

When I called it a hydra in 2017 and ever since, I wasn't lying.

The hydra is the whole story.
And it's in every aspect of the Executive Branch and the GOP.

It's a good time to ask yourself what you're going to tell future generations about what you were doing at the end of American democracy, because we're in the waning days of it unless something drastic changes course.
