Natasha Bertrand Twitter thread on some details from the intelligence report

11. And the Moscow 8 who went to Russia for July 4, 2018

So, what do we call these Red Square Republicans? My interlocutors on Twitter suggest “Moscow Mules.” Or, given the position they put themselves in before our masters in Moscow, perhaps they should be called the Prostrate Eight: Sens. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Hoeven (N.D.), John Neely Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), John Thune (S.D.) and Johnson, Ron Johnson (WI) plus Rep. Kay Granger (Tex.).

You can also add in Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Tim McCarthy, Jeff Sessions, and Mike Pence who had knowledge of
Russian interference in the 2016 election and all those Republican Senators who got Russian/NRA money in 2016 too.
