Speaking of lawyers, Blackburn’s longtime lawyer is literally the man who introduced the NRA to Russia.
Every time Senator Blackburn blocks an election security bill, remember her friend and lawyer Kline Preston. Preston introduced the head of the NRA to Maria Butina’s handler in 2011, kicking off the NRA-Putin connection.

This is the kind of person Senator Blackburn hangs out with.

Alright Joe, let’s talk about the fusion of pro-Russian propaganda and Republican propaganda into one joint operation aimed at Americans. /1
Anti-Semitic smears of George Soros are common on both the corrupt Ukrainian right and the corrupt American right. But if he got this from Solomon, it’s a Ukranism
smear Solomon recycled with Joe’s personal help. /2
I won’t link to it, but the Solomon article is entirely about Ukraine. Soros’ nonprofit is one of many players in Ukraine on the pro-democracy, anti-corruption side. So naturally, pro-corruption and pro-Russia oligarchs don’t like him. /3

“Whatever facts are uttered Wednesday morning on Capitol Hill will be remixed and recast on Twitter, Facebook, Fox News and MSNBC to become the legend of our warring political tribes by the time we go to bed Wednesday night.”

Damn, @Will_Bunch called it.

@Will_Bunch If we’re amusing ourselves to death, the mainstream news is a big part of why. They’ve decided it’s what we want, so they’re selling it.
@Will_Bunch “Consequential” means it’s important news. “Dull” means you’re a bored tv critic. Pick one. (And for what it’s worth, the hearing did start with a bang - another smoking gun.)

Every Republican example of Ukrainian corruption is really the opposite:

- Leaking black ledger *that exposed corruption*
- Firing a prosecutor general *for being soft on corruption*
- No one investigating Biden’s son *because no one thought he broke any laws*
Deny, Attack, Reverse the Victim and Offender. The usual abuser tactics from today’s GOP.
“The bullying, the tears, the lies and contradictions. Claiming everyone (who counts) is on their side, and anyone who isn’t is part of a conspiracy. Above all, a sense of entitlement to something they aren’t owed.”

The #bullshit that @thedemocrats are #dropping like #deuces is truly preposterous.

Last week, following the lamentable hearing that established the apparent mental decline of Robert #Mueller, @chuckschumer tried to set a trap for @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell.
The normal practice of the Senate as to consideration of proposed legislation is for the proposed bill to be read aloud (or reading waived) and then for the bill to be sent for consideration by one or more Senate committees that have jurisdiction over the subject of the bill.
One of the bills that @thedemocrats and the #lapdancemedia have described as having been blocked by McConnell addressed certain requirements for the use and retention of paper ballots and voting records and providing funding for the #ElectionSecurityCommission to make grants.

1. Clinton friendship with Moscow runs deep. Very deep. We have a near half-century dossier connecting them.

The mainstream media hasn't called them out on this systematic pattern. The emperor has no clothes on.

#Russia #RussiaCollusion #Clintons #HillaryClinton
2. In 1971 Hillary went to work for Treuhaft, Walk, and Burnstein lawfirm.

(Some accounts place their first association as early as 1967)

3. Treuhaft was such a problem he had been hauled before the House Un-American Activities Committee. He was labeled as one of America's most "dangerously subversive" lawyers.
