Vladimir Putin must be rubbing his hands in glee. With the aid of GOP senators, his man in D.C. has succeeded in a masterful con. Better yet, Alan Dershowitz has argued that anyone running for office can do almost anything. No sense of ethics needed; laws are apparently mere suggestions.
Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey bought the argument and the con. He and his Republican colleagues enabled a cover-up even while new evidence of a president’s malfeasance became public. Welcome to our new autocracy.
