@frankthorp @SenatorBurr The dangerous problem w/ Republicans doubling down on this bogus conspiracy theory about Ukraine meddling in the 2016 Elections for @HillaryClinton’s benefit:

...Clinton related. IF they TRULY thought there was an issue wouldn’t we have heard about long before now? Only because it was recently determined by Trump’s DOJ #CaseClosed on her emails that Republicans are trying to pin another tale on Secretary Clinton.

If the latter is true, if Republicans are too stupid to see the error in their actions, God help our national security and that of Europe as Ukraine alone stands...
