How we react in the aftermath of the special counsel’s findings will determine the future of the Republican Party and, possibly, the country.
Things are speeding up in Robert Mueller’s universe. In recent days, Donald Trump provided his written responses to the special counsel team’s questions. On top of that, Roger Stone confidant Jerome Corsi refused a plea deal and faces perjury charges. And, on Thursday, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about Trump’s business dealings with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Things, as they say, are coming to a head.
And because of that, it’s important to take a moment and consider how we are going to react when the final report is written. That’s especially true for my conservative friends, who are understandably going to feel squeezed. Conservatives are going to be put in a lot of difficult situations these next few weeks or months. How we react won’t just determine the Republican Party’s future but, perhaps, the country’s as well.
………
The harder move is to stand by enduring conservative principles, and remain a person of character who isn’t afraid to call out Trump when he’s wrong. That path has always been hard, but will be made even harder in the weeks ahead.
As of now, it is still unclear whether Trump is, himself, guilty of “collusion.” But what is clear is that he was surrounded by people who were involved in some very unethical endeavors. Those endeavors are about to become more public; and the public is about to get a big window into the unseemly underbelly of Trumpland.
