Schumer and Wyden speaking on the floor are calling for Johnson to account for the Russian and Ukrainian sources of information in his investigation and introducing a resolution calling for the investigation to cease if it has become a conduit for Russian intelligence disinfo

Johnson speaking in response accused Senate Democrats of projection, hypocrisy, and violating Rule 19, which forbids imputing ill motives to other senators; he was interrupted by the presiding officer and reminded not to violate Rule 19 himself.

“I don’t know who Derkach is,” Johnson says.

“I’m well aware of what Russia is doing. I don’t condone it. I condemn it. I’m not having any part of it,” Johnson says, and then objects to Schumer and Wyden’s resolution.

“I’m very disappointed that my colleague has objected.... The Russian disinformation campaign is going on now,” Wyden says.

Johnson, back on his feet, is seeking to enter a Jon Solomon article into the record.

Solomon has been one of the main conduits of the discredited information that officials like Fiona Hill have said originates from Russian intelligence.

All in all, I’d say that was one of the more interesting things that’s happened on the senate floor recently. If you work in tv/video, might be worth clipping the footage.
