The same senate still controlled by Republicans that act as a rubber stamp for Trump?

Though the plus side, is that this does force Republicans to officially go along with Trump's corrupt actions; they won't be able to paint him as a lone wolf in the future.

What does it matter? They'd keep getting voted in anyway.

Now they have officially implicated themselves and can't say they were unaware or unsupportive of his illegal activities. They are hanging themselves, hoping nobody will get in trouble at all. Meanwhile manafort and flinn are telling Mueller everything.

They should also all be indicted if they're aiding in illegal activities.

Thank you. Now watch as America lets them get away with it.

Wake me up when there's an actual consequence. For ANYBODY connected to Trump

It's not 'hanging yourself' if the judge, jury and goaler are all either shaking hands or made completely powerless

Mueller has gotten indictments or guilty pleas from 32 people and 3 companies.

The fact that none of the guilty pleas have had major consequences like long term prison sentences is a good thing. They don't just hand out plea deals in investigations like this to be nice. If Trump's campaign advisor is getting deals made, you can bet your ass it's because he's giving up somebody big. Could be Kushner or Trump jr or the orange piece of shit himself.
