"He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again."

[meadowlander]

"You can't trust this president to do the right thing. Not for one minute, not for one election, not for the sake of our country. You just can't. He will not change and you know it."

Adam Schiff - 4 February 2020

Every single Republican in Congress who voted against impeachment needs to have the fallout from this tied around their neck forever.

They knew he was a traitor and they kept him in power and with access to national security secrets anyway.

[dalton99a]

1. Yep.

[KPN]

3. Which means they were complicit either by choice (personal benefit) or compomat. Every frigging one

of them put self over country. And remember, they didn't not do it (convict on impeachment) because they didn't want Pence in the WH. They did it for themselves. Not just party over country, but self over country. They are all traitors.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. What did the Russians get from the RNC server, way back when?

[evolves]

19. Enough kompromat

to keep all the little repukes in lockstep.

Would LOVE to see what they have on mitch and lindsay, not to mention gaetz, gym, etc.

[Traildogbob]

10. All these screaming pundits

And elected assholes fully supporting trump and encouraging attacks against the FBI need to start hearing “complicity to espionage”. They are in full support of him and need to face the same penalties. Every Fox mouth and elected accomplices need to hear that charge. You wanna go down with trump, you go all the way down.

[Mysterian]

2. That's what I'm talkin' about

Traitorous republicans would throw away the constitution to install a New York City con man as fuhrer for life.

[PatSeg]

4. I remember that

His words were very powerful. Republicans have been warned over and over again.

[Tommy Carcetti]

5. Representative Schiff is such a talented orator.

His speech during the First Impeachment hearing should go down for the history books.

[Coventina]

6. Oh, but he "learned his lesson" from being impeached, doncha know?

Isn't that what all the "concerned" Republicans told us?

[leftieNanner]

9. Suzie the Concerned Troll told us that

Can't believe the great state of Maine voted for her again.

[The Roux Comes First]

12. I Still Recall Listening in Disbelief As They Claimed We Should Just Leave It to the Voters

We have seen how dutiful they were in that and how it worked out.

As Yertle might have said, what, you expected me to be consistent with yesterday's whining and sniveling?

[gratuitous]

7. So simple, even a MAGA head could understand it

Keep saying it: Trump betrayed our national security. He will do it again.

Simple, straightforward, and undeniably true. If the former guy can implant the lie of how he didn't really lose in 2020, we can sell the true story of his betrayal of the country. But we have to sell it hard and repeatedly. So just keep saying it.

[Riverman100]

11. scream it from the rooftops

They need to hear it again and again until it penetrates their brain fog

[ffr]

13. And they weaponized the DOJ against democrats as their first resort. They all need to go!

Clean sweep in November! GOP OUT!

[hibbing]

14. Remember "pivot"?

TFG was going to pivot to becoming more presidential, I must have heard that phrase 100 times when I was actually watching "news".

Peace

[Kablooie]

15. Even so Republicans support and defend his betrayals.

Protection of Trump's criminal activities is of higher importance than the security of the nation.

[samsingh]

16. him and the traitorous repug leadership, fox news, and maga

traitors all

how many of our spies have been turned over and killed for that trump can enrich himself?

[SouthernDem4ever]

17. "They knew he was a traitor and they kept him in power"

Repug senators are culpable.

[wiggs]

18. Timely post. His whole speech was good. Does anyone really think DJT didn't

coordinate with the russians, bribe the Ukrainians, armbend Georgia officials, enrich himself during office, or take classified documents?

Taking and holding classified documents for personal gain, if true, is ON BRAND

[Sogo]

20. ...and they're STILL trying to cover for him and help him rise to power again!

unf-ingbelievable!

[Joinfortmill]

21. Amen

[kentuck]

22. Such supreme poor judgement and character...

None of them deserve to be in our Congress.

[c-rational]

23. K&R. Well said.

[AllyCat]

24. And every Senator who voted against conviction.

All of them.

[2naSalit]

30. +1

I would be glad to be rid of the one from my state along with the one House Rep. and our current gov/former House Rep.. All of them and our current AG were involved in the coup attempt in one way or another.

[Mr. Ected]

25. I'll go so far as to say that there are over 74 million Americans who should be utterly ashamed

They knew better too. The venom in their veins is an imminent threat to our democracy.

[Ilsa]

32. Yep. They could have skipped that first ballot question

if they couldn't bring themselves to vote for Biden.

[Richard D]

26. I'm totally against capital punishment...

But there's always room for an exception.

[Meadowoak]

27. +1

[TigressDem]

28. Generally, me too.

But espionage is basically treason and there is no coming back from something like that.

[2naSalit]

29. He will never do the right thing for the country...

And they knew it.

[secondwind]

31. Kicked

[housecat]

33. One thing that republicans share is the threat of exposure.

They aren't fighting for trump, they are fighting for their own self-protection.
