Several Senate Democrats are calling on President Barack Obama to declassify information related to the Russian government and the U.S. election.

We believe there is additional information concerning the Russian Government and the U.S. election that should be declassified and released to the public, a letter from Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, dated Nov. 29, reads. We are conveying specifics through classified channels.

The letter is signed by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Sen. Angus King (I-ME), Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) as well as Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

There has been widespread speculation about possible involvement from the Russian government in Novembers election, primarily due to an early October letter from the Department of Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence that formally accused Russia of directing hacks of Democratic political organizations and operatives.

1. On the way in, BHO said no review of the IRAQ decisions...

...least he can do on the way out is shine the light on this one. Anything less is worse than bring a knife to a gunfight - it's bring an overcooked pasta noodle to a gunfight.

One of the reasons Rethugs keep getting away with this chit is because Dems keep letting them get away with this chit.

3. What about fear for democracy?

The greater fear is that democracy is already a thing of the past.

5. Urge?? They need to DEMAND, and THAT'S the fucking problem here

Democrats have been the victims of a crime.

They will write a strongly worded letter to fight back.
