The Senate/Russia story isn’t getting nearly enough pick up and the Senate GOP isn’t taking a hit for it.

Let's change that.

Thread. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/senate-intelligence-russian-interference-report.html

The #RubioReport shows definitively that @marcorubio and members of the @SenateGOP understood that @realDonaldTrump's campaign was in touch with Russian intelligence during the 2016 campaign.

#TheyKnew

That means #TheyKnew the Trump campaign, Bannon, Manafort, Kushner, Don. Jr, all them, had inappropriate contacts with Russian operatives when the @SenateGOP acquitted @realDonaldTrump of abusing his office.

#RubioReport

It was no mistake that @marcorubio was made Chairman of the Senate Intel Committee. @senatemajldr and @realDonaldTrump needed someone who would soft-sell the #RubioReport’s findings.

Who better than #LittleMarco?

#TheyKnew

Someone should ask @marcorubio (again) why he made sure to strip out provisions in American law that would require presidential campaigns to inform the FBI and DOJ of contacts by foreign governments.

#TheyKnew #RubioReport

Why?

Because @realdonaldtrump, @vp, @jaredkushner are doing it again in 2020. They will gladly take help from anyone who will help them retain power, even in the face of probable/likely electoral defeat this November.

#TheyKnew #RubioReport

Now @RonJohnsonWI ( @SenRonJohnson) is carrying water for Russia again. He’s planning to smear @JoeBiden with fabricated intelligence he received from Russian-backed Ukrainians.

Don’t be surprised by #RussianRon’s September Surprise.

#TheyKnew #RubioReport

Remember #RussianRon? He spent the Fourth of July 2018 in Moscow. Maybe all the #MayDay flights were booked. @RonJohnsonWI ( @SenRonJohnson).

#TheyKnew #RubioReport

Each one of these Republican senators violated their oaths, their consciences and their responsibilities.

But it’s worse now.

We’ve criticized their silence on @realdonaldtrump’s actions and words.

What the #RubioReport makes plain, though, is that #TheyKnew, and they’ve known all along, that Trump is unfit for office.

And they’ve helped him stay there.
