GOP leadership in U.S. Senate is now involved in obstructing & covering up the Russian hack of 2016

Republican leadership in the U.S. Senate is now involved in obstructing and covering up the Russian hack of the 2016 presidential election by failing to authorize a select committee to investigate the incident. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the hacking was “a serious issue, but it doesn’t require a select committee.”

In rejecting the committee, McConnell is obstructing a proposal that had bipartisan support. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) had both urged the leadership to take up the select committee.

The CIA has said that they believe Russia intentionally broke into Democratic Party emails and gave them to WikiLeaks to be released in order to influence the outcome of the election in favor of Donald Trump.

Previously, Republicans authorized a select committee to investigate the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi when they believed such an investigation would harm the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.

But we know they don't exist.

The "moderates" should build a coalition to impeach and replace McTurtle and others as well.

all of my elected reps in congress and let them know that investigating this is NOT an option.
Stated that even the orange one made statements about massive voter fraud.

Told them:

Do it NOW
I am watching
I will work keep them from being re-elected if they obstruct, stall, delay or try to sweep it out of sight.
