Trump's open invitation to Russia to attack our political system is appalling enough.

But such an attack is more likely to succeed, thanks to Mitch McConnell's active efforts to prevent the country from improving its defenses against one.

My new piece: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
An additional point:

Let's be clear on what Trump and Mitch McConnell are just fine with.

The Russian attack wasn't just about helping Trump. It was also an effort to damage public faith in our political system and divide the country:

To clarify Trump's position, it's this:

If there’s another foreign attack on our political system, Trump might go to the FBI if he thinks there’s something wrong, but also, he won’t think there’s anything wrong:

Trump has now confirmed beyond any doubt that he'll encourage and welcome another foreign attack on our political system.

We could change our laws to make such an attack less likely to be effective.

But Mitch McConnell won't allow that to happen:
