>Russiagate stuff too for some reason

Because its one of, if not, the biggest story in the world right now? I mean, of course its going to occasionally top /r/politics and /r/worldnews.

The president and the highest levels of the GOP are directly targeted in an investigation that has brought 20+ indictments with several guilty pleas with apparently more to come.

This is a bit like saying the news in 1974 was too focused on Watergate.

Have you actually ventured over there? Saying Russiagate/Trump stories are "occasionally" at the top of /r/politics is a bit of an understatement. They're obsessed over there.

Yes, a lot of negative stories about the Republican party are posted on /r/politics but that is because negative things keep happening. Last week the deputy finance chair of the RNC was exposed as paying $1.6M to buy silence for an aborted lovechild with a playboy model and that wasn't even the biggest story of the day.

Honestly, no major scandal in the last few days is the exception now, not the norm.
