Q, a counterpoint. These guys saw Trump as a Russian asset, a mobster and they still do. Of course not every IC actor does things by the book but if they really believed they were stopping subversion by Russia of America through Trump they felt justified.
There are huge swaths of Trump haters who remain convinced of Trump’s ongoing alignment with Russia. How far do you expect the corruption probe to go, if most believed they were doing their patriotic duty to protect America?
Trump went on TV and told Russia to hack the DNC and blabbed about immunity from murdering someone. See things from the side of the aliens.
