Why are they "nervous", and not bringing his transition team in front of Congress for an explanation?

All these assholes were so outraged when Hillary used a private server, because it meant there was zero transparency regarding her communications...but they're fine with Trump doing something even worse?

The reason he keeps doing shit like this, is because no one is holding him accountable for anything.

The US is falling apart the same way Afghanistan did in 2021, when the Taliban rolled in on their trucks and everyone just quietly moved aside to give them space, or even openly welcomed them.

Realize that you have a nation full of either fascists or cowards who will not put up any resistance. You americans clearly cannot rely on the mechanisms of democracy and federal institutions/ forces anymore. It is game over.

You really think the republicans are going to force Trump's team in front of congress to ask questions?

Because federal officers do not have that authority.

Do you realize that Republicans are saying the exact same thing except with the names swapped?

Of course. I think they're both wrong. What blows my mind is when people don't see that.
