Excerpts:
"Our democracy is in serious danger.
"President Trump is either totally compromised by the Russians or is a towering fool, or both, but either way he has shown himself unwilling or unable to defend America against a Russian campaign to divide and undermine our democracy. …
"My guess is what Trump is hiding has to do with money. … But whatever it is, Trump is either trying so hard to hide it or is so naïve about Russia that he is ready to not only resist mounting a proper defense of our democracy, he’s actually ready to undermine some of our most important institutions, the F.B.I. and Justice Department, to keep his compromised status hidden.
"That must not be tolerated. This is code red. The biggest threat to the integrity of our democracy today is in the Oval Office." ~ Thomas Friedman
EP:
"Another pundit sounds the alarm (and rightly so). "Code red" is not an exaggeration (IMO). And how long will the Republicans in Congress tolerate (and abet) this? Are they willing to see our democracy destroyed so they can cling to power?"
