Sen. Amy Klobuchar, state's Democrats want open investigation of tRump Russia ties
Sen. Amy Klobuchar is diving into the boiling controversy over Russia and President Donald tRump, vowing to leverage what she said are strong alliances with her Republican colleagues to push for an independent investigation into possible ties between the new administration and America’s global rival.
“Why did all of this happen? Why was the tRump campaign so focused on placating Russia and making them happy when they have been ruthless to our allies and ruthless trying to attack us?” Klobuchar said.

Klobuchar is instead pushing for a bipartisan, independent commission, akin to the 9/11 Commission, that would be more open to the public. Other members of Minnesota’s congressional delegation are split on the matter, largely along party lines. - Star Tribune
We need to help get her message out. An Independent Commission is the only way to find wrongdoing under this GOP controlled whitewash. They'll smooth over treason to cover up the embarrassment that is this White House.
