Once this is all over, history will not look fondly on those who say they were just following Trump’s authoritarian orders. Illegal orders are still illegal orders. Watch The Breakdown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXv6Vxmg4RI

Russia has tendrils throughout all three branches of our government, as well as the media. "Once this is all over" goes far beyond what we, the public, will ever see. It's more than just getting Trump and MAGA out of office. The task is monumental.
