and she speculated that, even beyond the likely motivation of careerism, some of the senators might actually be afraid of some kind of blackmail, because the Russians also hacked the RNC and who knows what Trump might have on them now? Graham and Corker might be jockeying to take the SoS job when Tillerson leaves, which will be soon, which might explain why they've been blowing Trump so enthusiastically in the last few weeks.

But whatever their reasons might be for these regular fellatio festivals, at least the Senators could wipe the spooge off their chins before appearing in public.
