53 men and women did what no army or government has been able to do for over 250 years. They took the fundamental principle that America is built upon, that no person is above the law, and they destroyed it. They destroyed it in service of the most corrupt and plainly criminal person to ever hold the office of president.
Over the coming weeks and months, more evidence of Trump's lawbreaking and criminality will continue to pile up, and the full extent of their cover-up will be known. They know this, and they don't care.
May these men and women be remembered by history for the partisan cowards they are. When America and all of her people needed them the most, they failed, and they failed in service of a criminal, who is now emboldened to become the autocrat he has always dreamed of becoming. They know this, and they don't care.
America as I have known it for my entire life was killed today, stabbed in the back 53 times, betrayed by the very people who were entrusted with defending her.
May those people never have a single moment of peace for the rest of their lives. May they be shouted at and shamed and driven from public life into the dark corners of the world, like the rats they are."
