George Conway Unleashes on Trump in Blistering Tweetstorm: You Should Pay for Your Obstruction ‘With Your Office’

After calling Trump a “malignant narcissist” who refuses to recognize the seriousness of Russia’s actions, Mr. Conway goes on to accuse Trump of taking “multiple steps to obstruct,” putting his “self-interest” above national interest, and committing an offense “for which you should pay with your office.”
