"Weve said it before and well say it again: there MUST be an investigation by an independent, bipartisan commission of Russias ties to Donald Trump and his associates and that nations interference in our elections. Emphasize independent and bipartisan. That commission must have full subpoena power to call witnesses and make them testify under oath or risk prosecution. Hearings must be held out in the open, and televised live for the nation and the world to see. Thats what a democracy is all about."
"And where are the Republican patriots willing to come forward and place country and democracy over party and a venal lust for power? Other than John McCain, theyve been largely mum or simply said ta-ta and thanked Flynn for his service. Late Tuesday, Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said its highly likely the Senate intelligence committee will investigate Flynns discussions with the Russian ambassador, but does anyone really think a Republican-dominated inquiry, with strings pulled back stage by McConnell, will dig for the truth and let the facts fall where they will?"
"There is nothing as dangerous to democracy with its need for checks and balances of power to protect the integrity of our system as one-party rule."
