Where Cambridge A and Russia may converge.

[Joseph Tracy]

fair enough but you have to prove treason on Trump’s part and unless it can be proved he directly solicited Russian aid to subvert the election everything so far is circumstantial and until Demoocrats have a majority in both houses impeachment is unlikely unless/until Republicans perceive Trump as a liability. To my mind the best efforts should be going to get more truly progressive people in for the next electoral round.  I am fine If Mueller can find a legal way to bring down T. There are lots of grounds but the Republican senate can stop impeachment at this point. The presidency has acumulated too much power and neither party has challenged that imbalance.

So far the Trump team arrests have been for money laundering, and lying to courts or congress. The only theoretically  criminal activity by Russia is minor and has not gone to any court. What the US has done and is doing to interfere in  other countries elections and prop up dictators is far more egregious, violent, and involves far more money than anything that has turned up so far. Unless money was illegally given by Russia to the Trump Campaign the chances of an impeachable offense of collaborating colluding or otherwise cuddling with the nasty bad Russians looks remote to me.

Israelis have more freedom of speech about Israel that you do. Did any of you write your representatives? Wouldn’t that be more useful than parroting the latest news from this Russiagate distraction?  Menwhile the rate of CO2 emissions is rising in the US despite many coal plant closings. Meanwhile the air you breathe and the water you drink is being threatened by global warming and neither Party has a plan to stop it. NEITHER PARTY!!!!
