To recap:
-Trump went on tv and asked other countries to interfere in the 2020 election
-His AG is threatening to prosecute the FBI and CIA employees who investigated the last interference
-The GOP Senate keeps blocking election security measures
This is all out in the open.

This investigation is, along with everything else wrong with it, a message to everyone in the FBI, IC and State Department that they should just let other countries interfere in 2020.

The day before Blackburn’s blocks, GOP Senators Thune and Kennedy blocked similar bills. In a wild coincidence, they were 2 of the 8 Republicans that spent last year's Fourth of July in Moscow.

This. I don’t think they believe the theories they’re selling, but they’re all too happy to push them and bend our policies around them. This is authoritarianism 101, and they’re attempting an authoritarian takeover.
