GOP leadership should be subpoenaed for their Russian complicity

From Daily KOS...
Former FBI head Robert Mueller has been appointed special counsel to investigate Russia's collusion with the Trump campaign & Administration. But the problem does not simply lie with Donald Trump.

What did the Republican leadership know, and when did they know it?

The Washington Post has uncovered a recorded conversation in June 2016 with the House Republican leadership. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said that Russia was paying Trump, at which point Speaker Paul Ryan reminded them the conversation was off-the-record and there are to be no leaks.

But that's not all. Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were briefed multiple times during the election that Russia was trying to rig the election for Trump, and they still did nothing.

They calculated that the election of a Republican President—even if he is a puppet of Vladimir Putin—would help accomplish their partisan goals. They literally put party above country.

Trump would not have been elected President without support from the Republican leadership. If they knew about this collusion a year ago, they must be held accountable today.

Sign the petition to Robert Mueller: Subpoena Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell.

is evidence that Mueller has that Carter Page called Nunes and that ex GOP idiot on CNN all the time (Jack Kingston) was called in 2106 from Moscow telling them who the new Sec of State would be even before it was announced in the US. Maybe Ryan knew of it too?
