Appreciation Thread for Sen Franken! [View all]
Who asked the right question during the Sessions confirmation? Sen. Franken. Whose quick thinking caused Sessions to commit perjury about his ties to Russia during a Congressional hearing? Sen. Franken! What did Sessions' perjury about his ties to Russia cause him to do? (For those who have short attention span) It forced him to recuse himself from the federal investigation into Russia interference in a U.S. presidential election. With Sessions no longer obstructing the Department of Justice, what did the DOJ do next? They appointed a special prosecutor, Mueller.
That's right. Because Sen. Franken is fucking brilliant and dedicated and fearless, we now have an official federal investigation of the administration and Russia. Indictments are already being handed down and people are getting lawyered up and there is hope that the fiasco that was the 2016 presidential election will never happen in this country again.
Who here thinks that Sessions would have allowed a special prosecutor to be named, if he still had control of the DOJ in matters pertaining to Russia?
Sen Franken is the reason we have Special Prosecutor Mueller. I haven't forgotten it, and I know damn well that Trump, Sessions and Putin have not forgotten it.Russia hates Sen. Franken as much as I love him. If--no make then when, their scheme to take over our country fails, we will all owe one man a huge round of applause. And, I hope and pray that he is in the Senate when Trump is impeached, because you know he will ask all the right questions and say all the right things---which may be why Russia the GOP are trying so hard to get rid of him.
As to why a handful of Dems are acting against their own party's interest, maybe they are old school Dems who think that members of our party should never take their gloves off in a fight. You know, the same member of the old school who could not be bothered to try Bush and Cheney with war crimes. I believe that when our country is under attack by foreign powers with the aid of American traitors, the gloves need to come off and we need to fight back. Not very kumbaya of me, I know. But I didn't start this war.
I love you, Sen. Franken!
