Because there is a shockingly lot of them either utterly outspoken on/perpetuating the illegality or absolutely utterly silent on said illegality. You can conveniently conclude 95%. That is really really bad.

The fact that a mere 5% of them decide to stand for the truth is the story; and that story is shocking.

You cannot then blame people who think it's all of them.
Most of the 5% are actually standing for themselves.

Imagine the if the Republican Governor of Maryland had supported Trump with his charade. That will be a disaster for him in two years time because Biden won Maryland by more than 1,000,000 votes. cheesy

No sir

Every President get to select his own head of CIA, the person that pushed the theories of a nuclear war head was the head of CIA at that time.

The intention was to deceive congress and NATO alliance.

Again on your Obama theory, CIA didn't provide any intelligence regarding Libya and Syria

Libya and SYria happened in the period of Arab spring which lead to changes in regime and government in both Tunisia and Eygpt too.

The attempt to resist Regime change in Libya and Syria led to a Bloody civil war in both countries.

It's not the same with what happened in Iraq sir.
Are you saying Obama decided to airstrike Syria without Intelligence report? Shouldnt that be a reason for Obama to be prosecuted after office for putting American lives and resources at risk based on his whim

There are a significant number of Republicans than many of you are willing to give credit for that are not dancing to Trumps tune

Read my comment again

I am clearly stating that GOP members that will likely not suffer any consequences for their actions clearly support Trump with their full chest, while those in the hot sits have either done the right thing or come out against him.
What would have been the consequence for Georgia or Arizona governors

No sir

It was a UN security council resolution championed by the former Italian prime minister that led to the initiative of the no fly Zone being implemented over Libya.

It was a Nato joint operation.

if they refused to sign the Certification, they risked being taken to court sir and fined.

They will also be undermining a process that brought them to power.

Don't forget both of them came off a very close race to win the governorship race two years ago.

Finally sir, their states electorates will not give Trump the victory he needs.

You are absolutely right. It was NATO sanctioned operation and since US is the military and financial power behind NATO, Obama has to succumb and hence the disaster in Libya which is completely different from Bush Jnr, Cheney, and Gen Collin Powell deliberately lying and putting out fake intelligence reports to get us into the stupid and reckless Iraq war which fvcked up the economy and led to Obama's presidency in Jan 2009.

This is what I have been trying to explain to him. Obama was even reluctant to get involved at first.

The Strike against ISIS after they beheaded American Journalist is not the same as Strike on Libya and Syrian government.

Russia, Turkey, Syria, Sunni Militia supported by Iran amongst others also fought IsIs

I thought Trump also continued the War on ISIS

You are obviously not a honest person

He never invaded a nation.

Obama never invaded a nation but he provided support to rebels to destabilize a nation

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, sources familiar with the matter said.
Obama’s order, approved earlier this year and known as an intelligence “finding,” broadly permits the CIA and other U.S. agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration has decided to halt the CIA’s covert program to equip and train certain rebel groups fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad

Obama ordered strikes on Isis Extremists just like Russia, NATO, Kuddish fighters Iran and Syria did.

And guess what! Trump did too.

Obama was reluctant to hit a state under any circumstance.

Obviously he supported the Freedom fighters offen tagged Activist against Assad like most western countries.

Just like Trump supports a parallel government in Venezuela today.

Lol.

A lot of people have often alleged that Obama invaded Libya but it's not true.

European countries wanted Gadafi out because they had interest in Libyan huge oil and gas reserves.

The French and Italians In particular saw it as a guarantee.

Who tags one side a freedom fighter to destabilize a country? Is that not a warcrime and as bad as anything Bush ever did?

So Trump too can come to Nigeria, arm IPOB and call them freedom fighters against the govt

Libya It was because of French and Italian

Well it was a peaceful protest before Assad started killing them which led to a civil war.

In every civil war, world powers take sides.

Russia supported Assad because he guaranteed them unlimited access to the black sea for their naval operation. American decided to support opposition because they don't want Russia influence to grow in the middle east.

One more thing:

Assad ethnic group is a minority in Syria, hence your ipob analogy can't work in Syria.

If he wanted to Strike in Syria, he would have striked when Syria were using Chemical weapons.

Guess what! Trump did.

He didn't strike in Libya at all.

The people who made these allegations were appointed by Bush and they deliberately lied to the Congress in other to get support for war in Iraq.

It's a well documented history.
Bush and our own Tony Blair.

A lot of people hate Obama because of the alleged role they believed he played in helping Buhari win election in 2015.

Why did you think Gordon Brown pushed him out as the prime minister in Britain when the truth eventually came out?

Did Barack actually help buhari ?? Jonathan was bad news, his reign was a total mess and people were tired already ??

The Nigerian people voted, Obama's 'role' was insignificant in that election, folks thought buhari might do better and of course he told them what they wanted to hear at the time.

So with Barack 'involvement' or not the guy is out already.
