I know we all know and I know none of us are surprised by any of it but my GOD listening to Schiff lay this out is so damning

Like it’s just really really really bad

It’s so bad that I sometimes lose touch with just how bad it is

And I know it’s stunning to contemplate but I genuinely believe a lot of Republican senators *didn’t* know just how bad it is

Also never thought I’d say something like this but putting it into a Buzzfeed-esque clickbait top ten list format is really smart

I dunno, I think it’s some column a and column b. These folks are in the Fox bubble too. Yeah, they know how awful this guy is and they know they’re covering for him, but when it comes to specific details, I think they often DON’T know

And a lot of them likely genuinely believe the conspiracy theories. It’s perfectly possible to be cynically terrible and also willfully ignorant

Basically I’m willing to put down real money on the possibility that there are some GOP senators in that room thinking “...Oh. Oh, shit.”

They’ll still fall in line but they’re thinking it.

Never, ever underestimate how cozy evil and ignorant/stupid are here, and not just in Trump himself.
