Memo to reporters: The Q to ask Rubio, Burr, Risch, Collins, Blunt, Cotton, Cornyn, Sasse, McConnell, Inhofe: you all saw the drafts of the Intel Committee report before impeachment. You knew Trump lied. You said, did nothing, voted against witnesses, for acquittal. Explain.

3. No, that would be too

uncomfortable.

[Delmette2.0]

5. Hell yes!

Make all of them as uncomfortable as possible. I want to see them all sweating.

[Rebl2]

8. Especially

Rubio. He had no use for communist Castro, but it’s okay for trump to be deep in it with Putin.

[Delmette2.0]

15. +1

[Lochloosa]

26. Putin is not a communist.

[Captain Zero]

27. Putin was a communist before he was a Monster.

It was a logical progression.

6. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I were them.

Seriously.

I have a conscience, and I know right from wrong.

I also would NEVER betray my Oath of Office.

These people placed their hand on the Bible while taking that Oath.

Most of these people claim to be God fearing Christians. Meaning that Oath, before God, was a sin. They betrayed their God. Yet, they expect to go to Heaven, and meanwhile many push their religious agenda on the rest of us because that is what their God wants. Of course they are hypocrites. Shame on them!

Last but not least, how do they explain their actions while trying to face their children and grandchildren?

I could never be so disloyal. Never!

[PhylliPretzel]

25. They are sociopaths

The reason you, dmr, could never betray an oath is that you are NOT a sociopath. The only way they can do the things they do is that they are sociopaths: people with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.

7. Get thee to the greatest page, pronto!

You all knew. You all knew everything he did was treasonous and you attacked the messenger instead. You all need to go down too, as the treasonous bunch of scoundrels that you are.

9. All complicit, all accessories, all criminals

[paleotn]

10. What can I say.....they're fascists too.

[dchill]

11. Senatraitors.

[niyad]

20. I am soooooo stealing that!!!!

[calimary]

29. SUPERB, dchill! Senatraitors! A WINNER!

[dchill]

30. Thanks. They practically named themselves.

[dlk]

12. The senate intelligence committee made their criminal referral in April of last year

Is there a reason this wasn’t brought up at Trump’s impeachment?

[Kablooie]

13. Very easy to explain...

To acquit helped Republicans.

Wrongdoing, criminal behavior, destruction of the Constitution is fine if it helps Republicans.
Next question.

[jaxexpat]

14. And their answer may well be exactly that even down to the shock that anyone would find their....

Reply unsatisfactory.

[Beartracks]

18. Ask them everywhere they go. Americans deserve an answer. Americans deserve the truth.

[MFGsunny]

19. Bingo! We have another winner. n/t

[Cha]

21. Rt!!

[Scarsdale]

22. They are republicans, so

RUBLES or any other legal tender. Money talks. Apparently, very loudly to the gop. There is not an honest person in the entire group. Certainly nobody with a conscience, or loyalty to this country. How many of these losers have aspirations to reside in the WH? Cotton for sure. So they think if they defend the clown in office, when their turn comes it will be plain sailing for them. Party before country, every time.

[czarjak]

23. "Any means necessary"

28. But they'd tap-dance, two-step - and in Rubio's case, cha-cha - all around that question.

They've been trained better than a poodle at an AKC show.
