election steal was OK

Just so we’re clear on how fucked up this all is:

– Trump ADMITTED Russia interfered to help him in the election.

– Instead of prosecuting (or punishing) Russia for this, he told them it was “fine.”

– Then he illegally HID the record of the conversation on a SECRET SERVER. https://t.co/IJu4jt1zn8

Donald Trump told us who he was when he was running for office. He said if I shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue, I will get away with it.
