Senate Republicans Busted Laundering Putin Propaganda To Investigate Biden
https://www.politicususa.com/2020/07/20/senate-republicans-russian-propaganda-biden.html
"SNIP......
While requesting an FBI briefing, top House and Senate Democrats said that Republican Senators are using messages from Moscow To investigate Biden.
The letter was written by Speaker Pelosi, Senate Democratic Leader Schumer, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, and ranking Senate Intelligence Committee member Sen. Mark Warner to FBI Director Chris Wray:
Dear Director Wray:
We write to request that the Federal Bureau of Investigation provide a defensive counterintelligence briefing to all Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate regarding foreign efforts to interfere in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
We are gravely concerned, in particular, that Congress appears to be the target of a concerted foreign interference campaign, which seeks to launder and amplify disinformation in order to influence congressional activity, public debate, and the presidential election in November.

(32,626 posts)Senate Republicans are laundering Russian misinformation through a sham investigation of Joe Biden to help Donald Trump.
Republicans are using the investigative powers of the US Senate to help Putin and Trump.
The Senate Republicans who are engaging in this investigation are willing Russian assets.

Don't worry. This story will never see the light of day in extremely conservative upstate Wisconsin. It'll be exclusive to the Madison/Milwaukee markets.

(60,010 posts)Laying an evidence marker of Russian interference, while at the same time making public statements about Republicans in general and one in particular.
So next move is up to Johnson and the Republicans. If someone sent a public letter saying you were committing a crime, and you weren't, you would address the libel, right?
Indignation, threats of lawsuits, etc.
but what if you WERE committing the crime, and the accusations were true?
And someone with a brain told you the consequences of a loud denial...like the other side may have evidence that they are just waiting for an excuse to publicly release.
Very interesting...very much chess vs. the mumbletypeg game going on.

OMGWTF
(3,955 posts)that the bottom of the barrel for Republicans is through the barrel to the molten Earth and out the other side.
We need a thorough investigation of all of the Republican crimes. It will take years but we have got to stop them and November is our last chance. They are all traitors and should be dealt with accordingly.

(1,728 posts)this now defines the whole of Republican leadership - no coincidence that they are Red - they've irredeemably broken the American compact, and must be viewed and dealt with now as a native
enemy; seeking succor from enemies, these turncoats deserve no mercy, no place of repose;
they have tacitly renounced their citizenship and, with it, American justice and Liberty; the
penalties must be severe, with punishment denying their only true deities - wealth, possessions, and power; I suggested a Truth commission in an earlier post, which call I reiterate now, as
proper beginning for a rebirth of the Dream they deserve no part of
