This is what we know:

1. Jeffrey Epstein partied with Trump.
2. Epstein photographed people in compromising situations for the purpose of blackmail.
3. Jeffrey Epstein was communicating with Russia, and tried to get Putin and Lavrov to “get insight” through him (picture 1).
4. Putin wants the Ukraine war to continue.
5. Putin talks regularly to Trump without anyone taking notes.
6. Trump has held back all US aid to Ukraine for 12 months.
7. Trump has tariffed almost everyone… except Russia.

@randahl #uspol every other #uspresident in history would have been jailed if only half of this turns out to be evident. Every other #uspresident would have been pressured by his party and the public if were even remote evidence for the president being compromised by a foreign power, not to mention Russia.

@vgoller @randahl

If you go back to Watergate... no.. this isn't how the GOP behaves. Nixon was a criminal. He was pardoned. The GOP fought against his impeachment all the way until.. the incontrovertible 'Tapes'.

They haven't changed. They remain morally bankrupt, corrupt and horrible.

@gsymon @randahl true. But in hindsight, Nixon looks like a pickpocket compared to Trump. Well, makes even worse I guess.

@vgoller @randahl

In some ways yes, but breaking into the opposition's offices to steal their documents/information was a pretty outrageous act / power-grab in a supposed democracy. Imagine if Trump was caught doing it today.

@gsymon @randahl what? He tried an insurrection, didn’t that count? Well, he is a coward or he would have marched with his supporters on Jan 6th.
