Natasha Bertrand Twitter thread on some details from the intelligence report

9. Two of the Republicans on the Committee are up for reelection.

Susan Collins and John Cornyn. Perhaps releasing this report now gives them some cover from being too aligned with Trump, although Trump voters don’t care about Russia. Some of them might care about health insurance, and Collins and Cornyn both voted to get rid of the ACA.

I truly hope that a Biden DOJ completes the investigation of what Russia and the Trump campaign did during 2016. Mueller did not go far enough. Such an investigation might not result in indictments because Pence will move into the presidency for a few day just to pardon Trump if he loses, but we need to know what happened to prevent it from happening again. I can see a scenario of Trump Jr. running for president in 2024, and since Putin is now essentially president for life, if nothing is done we will have a repeat of a stolen election in 2024. Trump himself could possibly run again in 2024, but I think his slide into dementia will be noticeable by then. And who knows what New York State has in store for him.
