The ever-expanding list of Republicans mired in scandal, just in the past year. If the Democratic party did this much crap over a 10 year period it would be another 10 years before I'd even consider voting for anyone in the party again...

Florentina, being the OP,that's fine enough...hopefully you have heard about many of these scandals in the previous year in some form or the other.  It's just interesting to see them compiled in one long list.

and when he get indicted, you'll say "it not for leak, just lying about leak, and he not be convicted."  when he get convicted, you'll say "he innocent, but plead guilty anyway to spare his family/country/party/president."

and you'll still be numbnuts, numbnuts.
