This moment is historic: [View all]

A corrupt President, in collusion with several Cabinet members, are attempting to defraud the government of billions of dollars, and he is threatening the Republicans into going along with it. It is unprecedented.

For years, they have done his bidding, however unpalatable. Why should he expect them to do anything different this time?

This is an historic moment. Do we fall so deep into the well of corruption that we cannot climb out? There have been several hearings in the last few days and it is impossible to get a straight answer from the acting AG, Todd Blanche, or the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. They were asked such questions as: "Will the children and grandchildren of Donald Trump be exempt from ever being audited by the IRS?" And they refused to answer. It is as obvious as the nose on your face. They are corrupt to the core and are conspiring to rob the American taxpayers.

But the question we face is: Will the Republicans stand up for the rule of law and not collude with a corrupt President? It should be an easy answer.

But it is not.

History is waiting.
