Four years later, Republican senators admit, "yes, Trump conspired with the Russians"

[In It to Win It]

It's a red-letter, if sad, day on the hypocrisy beat when after three years a Republican-majority Senate Intelligence Committee comes out with a 1,000-page report finding there was a whole lot of direct contact between the Trump 2016 campaign with Russian intelligence operators.

...

The findings

Specifically, the committee said it found evidence that Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort may have been connected to the Russian operation to steal and leak Democratic emails. If that had been proven in court, it would have constituted "collusion," by any definition, but no such charge ever was brought. Manafort was convicted of fraud and tax charges unrelated to Russia.

1. Are we going to root out all these Russian assets in our government?

What are we waiting for?

[KS Toronado]

5. We're waiting for Nov 3rd, it's all we have currently.

[Ohiogal]

2. Most cult members

Don’t care. In fact, they think Russia provided a great service to the USA.

[Kid Berwyn]

3. Got lost in a busy news week.

Treason.

4. How typical

of republicons. Always late to the party and still too many of them denying the drunk shenanigans they conveniently cannot remember.

[llashram]

13. oh they were always at the party

they have for almost 4 years ignored the perversions, theft, graft, corruption of the host right in front of their faces and in ALL the back rooms of the republican mansion.

6. Needs to be the top of the news cycle!

[UTUSN]

7. K&R

8. i disagree - it's six months later

They had the chance to remove him from office in February of this year

[onetexan]

11. Oh they all know, and they are all complicit since russians are still at it trying to help reelect

This dangerous idiot. But they dont care because they think its good cuz it got him elected. They are ALL guilty of treason.

[gratuitous]

9. And they knew this when the Senate conducted its sham impeachment trial

Thank you all so very much, Senate Republicans. Every Republican defending a Senate seat this year needs to be asked - at every opportunity - why they left Trump in office and didn't allow even one witness at their trial.

[KPN]

10. I have to wonder how much or to what extent

this is all about saving their necks. Would this report ever have been released or contain these findings and admissions were Trump and their Senate majority not at high risk as they are now? I can see no other reason for the total inconsistency between their “views” and behavior during and leading up to the impeachment trial and these admissions now.
