(1)....Our democracy is beyond repair. Benghazi/Russia prove this. EVERY Banghazi report reached the same conclusion, but GOP kept screaming and investigating. Found nothing that wasn't known in 1st 2 months.

Now, Russia interferes with democracy in US and allies. GOP shrugs....
...every major democratic ally has found in their own independent intelligence inquiries that Russia interfered with THEIR elections. But somehow, the GOP thinks Russia ignored us and want to blow it off. A direct attack on democracy. Cause they won. That's it.

But Benghazi?....
...OMIGOD!!!! There was conflicting intel for a week. Some people at CIA thought X, some thought Y. It took until they received the recorded security videos from the site that they could say what happened. One week. Every person who spoke about it truthfully said....
..."based on the intelligence we have at this time." Then it was finalized when security footage arrived. And GOP made this a "scandal" for FOUR YEARS, dancing on the graves of dead Americans for political purposes, selling buttons and bumper stickers with Hilalry's face and....
...calling her the "witch of Benghazi." (This of course came after 2012 - immediately running up to the election, GOP blamed Obama. Then when he couldn't run again, they switched to Hillary.)

Fox feeds BS that is directly contradicted by official findings of REPUBLICAN....
...COMMITTEES and then their viewers -- who don't know of the reality that Fox will not tell them -- repeat what they have been brainwashed to believe.

Do they KNOW Russia attacked EVERY democratic election throughout the West? Do they KNOW this is not a matter of dispute....
...among ANY of our allies? Do they KNOW how stupid they sound arguing that it didnt happen in the United States, when it happened everywhere else and our intel agencies agree it happened here?

Listen: I do not care what Trump did. I do not care if he was the unknowing....
...beneficiary of Russia's cyberwar against us or if he was an active participant. He is one man. I do not care.

I CARE about the survival of democracy. I CARE that we shrug off that we are under attack because it is politically inconvenient for one party.....
...DAMMIT! We're Americans. And we hate each other to such an extent, we feed so much off of wedge-issue lies, we believe every conspiracy theory, we read nothing, know nothing and scream scream scream.

STOP being Russia's patsy. Let the investigations take their course....
...if a terrorist attack in midst of a multi-day uprising attacking embassies across middle east (Did u KNOW that was what was happening at time of Benghazi?" is worth more investigation than 9/11, then an attack on our democracy by a foreign power is worth ONE completed inquiry.
