Appeasement

Anyone with any sense will come to the unfortunate conclusion that President Trump is guilty of appeasement vis a vis Russia, and Vlad Putin.  But why?

If you line up all the various facts we have learned over the past 18 months, the only explanation is that Putin has something on Trump.  It could be related to the dossier, or money laundered via Trump  properties, or Russian campaign money via an intermediary (like the NRA), or actual changing of votes in the 2016 election.  Now we see in plain sight the behavior of a man who - as John Brennan said - "fears Putin"

The threat is grave to the republic.  Congress must act.  McConnell actually provided a glimmer of hope that this shameful performance by Trump has pushed him to finally, finally assert the authority of the co-equal branch.  Same for Ryan. 

To our press:  Keep the pressure on!  To the patriotic officials, run this down to its conclusion.  To our cyber warriors, go on the offensive.  To Robert Mueller, godspeed.
