“A foreign adversary interfered in the 2016 presidential election and the response from Republicans at every level, whether it be President Trump, congressional Republicans, or now the Republican appointees on the Federal Election Commission, has been to bury their heads in the sand or actively obstruct getting to the bottom of what happened,” Wyden said in a written statement.
“It’s inexcusable that Republican commissioners would block an investigation into whether Russian money was funneled through the National Rifle Association to help President Trump. The blatant partisanship is appalling, undermines our democracy and leaves us vulnerable to continued interference in 2020,” he continued."
Pssstttt.
There is a reason why these Republicans want to block investigations into foreign influence. Heck, Mitch actively shoots down these types of investigations. I think any rational human knows why they, as a group, have this coordinated agenda.
Republicans want to win elections. There is zero reason to damage your own success when failure means Democrats gain control of the government. That cannot be ever allowed to happen. Keep America Great.
No, we know where they stand on investigating people without evidence a crime has been committed. And we know where democrats stand on using the power of government to go after their political enemies.
Butina is in jail for acting as a foreign agent. We know she was working with her Republican operative boyfriend Paul Erickson — identified in court papers as “U.S. Person 1” — at the behest of a Russian official in order "to establish unofficial lines of communication with Americans having power and influence over U.S. politics.helped orchestrate a trip by NRA members to Moscow where they met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Well that tears it, some NRA members went to Russia, that’s all the evidence you need, of what again? I didn’t realize going to Russia or meeting with Russian officials was illegal.
