Oregon Sen. Jeff MERKLEY gets it on record that Drumpf is a de facto Russian asset

1. Oh hell yeah!

Hahaha!

Still, I'm suspicious of my own glee. We can wait.

[Alice Kramden]

2. Bravo - we need more of this

Thank you, Sen. Merkley

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Say it while you can

but what good does it do?

[UTUSN]

4. Silence is collaboration. Or as SNL called Ivanka's perfume, "Complicit".

[ancianita]

9. Yes. For Merkley to get his statements and theirs into the Congressional Record is a good thing.

Given their statements, it would be hard to later read them as anything but support and complicity from those three.

[misanthrope]

5. The best part was Merkley cutting off their propaganda spiel

When the first one, Landau, called Trump "an exceptionally gifted dealmaker," "the only individual in the entire universe that could stop this," then there was no point in going forward.

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. That was the most stomach-churning thing all day

Grade-A+ ass-kissing. I wonder what Landau's getting for that. . .

[Gary 50]

15. His job is secure!

High level ass kissing there.

18. As long as he's talking astronomy, a good response might have been :

"There's this one guy in Uranus who might be even more gifted". Or something along those lines.

25. Merkley was having none of their verbal garbage

But it was like landing haymaker punches vertically into a swimming pool. No matter how deeply you hit, three seconds later, it’s like nothing had ever happened.

[MLAA]

6. Right on, Senator. Thank you.

7. I'm sure there's a window...

In a hi-rise somewhere with his name on it. I’m sure that Putin would be more than happy to share henchmen with his buddy trump.

10. Thank you Sen. Jeff Merkley, for stating as it is.

And possibly more than a de facto Russian asset.

[Cha]

11. TY & Sen Jeff Merkley!

[love_katz]

12. Merkley and Wyden.

Those are my Senators! Bravo and kudos to them both!
Senator Wyden held a state wide virtual town hall, instead of attending Agolf $hitler' lying SOTU.
Every statement by Rethugs is lying, gas lighting, and every accusation is a confession.

13. Krasnov is definitely an ass and very likely an asset.

[Duppers]

14. The Dow drops 100 more points

It's going to be bad, really bad.

[Ford_Prefect]

16. Comrade Krasnov since 1987

[patphil]

19. Most definitely a Russian asset.

Code name Krasnov.

[Ford_Prefect]

22. A fully paid member of the party.....

[NotHardly]

17. He's my rep! Good on him!!!

[CareyOn]

20. Thank you Senator Merkley,

I have never been sorry for my small efforts to help get you to the Senate.

21. Even if Trump were PROVEN to be a Russian asset, nothing would happen to him.

The court has given him immunity for anything he does in his official capacity as president. Such absolute immunity it seems would necessarily extend to treasonous acts. And while, technically, he could still at least be impeached, this Senate would never convict.

[Blue Owl]

23. What's the penalty?

I remember a time not so long ago where such a thing had serious consequences

[RainCaster]

26. It used to be that traitors were shot

Now they get elected and golf a huge amount of our tax dollars away.

[ailsagirl]

24. Senator Merkley is amazing!!!

First time I've listened to him--he's the best!!
