It's choice time for the GQP: Either denounce DJT and his Russian deals, or admit they allowed Russian help in 2016

Thread explaining today's DOJ indictment of a Russian who advised DJT from the beginning: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219428960

If they try to plead innocence, then they have to denounce him and forfeit the 2024 election to Harris.

If they keep him on the ticket, they're admitting THEY WANT RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE!

Why make such choice when you can lie your way out of making that choice? RidinWithHarris Sep 7 #2

Their third (and favored) choice: deny, deny, deny. Ignore. Call it "fake news". n/t Mister Ed Sep 7 #3

Based on what I see at X, "they" don't even talk about Trump's flaws, let alone admit to any.

But for GOP officials, GOP politicians, and GOP voters, I expect the pattern will be: deny, deny, deny. Ignore. Call it "fake news".

Oh, and also: a "politically motivated stunt". "Election interference". "The weaponization of the DOJ".
