    What is it that you think has the entire right wing GOP willing to undercut the FBI? What would be worth setting this bonfire, do you think? 🤔

        When the Rs have already turned their handpicked guy, Wray, into a “problem” for them it reeks of desperation.

        I heard an interesting interview on npr yesterday with author of The Second Coming of the KKK: The Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s and the American Political Tradition. We’ve been thru this before.

        I can think of only two possibilities: money laundering to their campaigns or they have gerrymandered themselves into a no-win situation -- their districts have too many of the Trumpiest Trumpers.

        Money laundering. For example, all that money going to Manafort could not have just been for him. He was a conduit.

        The chance to have the FBI wholly in there pocket as a partisan tool, instead of being of just 80% Republican or so.

        What I’m trying to figure out is how anyone is letting Flynn Jr tweet conspiracy theories about the FBI all day.
