A slow-motion Saturday Night Massacre
By 
Great essay by James Risen on the ongoing obstruction of justice by the Republican Party, and its significance to Ratfuckgate:
Through his unrelenting efforts to obstruct the Trump-Russia investigation since its inception, President Donald Trump has inflicted a slow-motion Saturday Night Massacre on the American people, a constitutional nightmare that has lasted two years instead of one night.
And it is still going on, despite the fact that special counsel Robert Mueller has completed his investigation. Trump now has a willing lackey in Attorney General William Barr, who is aiding and abetting the president’s ongoing efforts to control the Justice Department and corrupt the country’s system of checks and balances.
The original Saturday Night Massacre ended far more quickly than Trump’s version.
Read the whole etc.
Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell continues to be an accessory after as well as before the fact.
