I hope Ryan is involved in something illicit too or else we are in for more trouble. My confidence in our system of checks and balances is seriously being questioned.

Ah, so you are only questioning it NOW....I would have thought you'd have done this when GW was appointed...
As far as I am concerned, that was the final nail in the coffin. Of course, we've had additional nails driven in by the holding up of Obama's SCOTUS pick and many other such situations.
In short - this entire administration is fraudulent. The "fair" thing to do would be to nullify the last election. Of course, the fair thing to do would be to un-gerrymander much of the country also.
I'm a bit flabbergasted that you think we have such a system...after what we have seen in our lifetimes. Without even thinking much....
JFK shot.
Vietnam started on false pretenses
Nixon/Kissinger making treasonous deals about his re-election (Vietnam).
Nixon Prolonged Vietnam War for Political Gain
Reagan and Iran-Contra, Right Wing Death Squads and much more (more of his admin indicted than any other in history - yet he is right wing hero?).
GOP spending decades (by now) full press on the Clintons - even when Bill was POTUS (investigations, etc.).
GW Bush Election - fixing the election in Florida (his brother) and the SCOTUS....
Lots more where that comes from....
NONE of this stuff was held back by checks and balances...now we have a election swung by Russians, Fake News and Comey (any of the three not existing would have meant Trump lost).....
And - no matter what happens - the GOP still gets to keep their ill gotten gains....such as the SCOTUS.
This is, of course, unfair. Crime pays - BIG TIME. What type of example are we setting for ourselves and the world?
