Who would tell them? Someone on Mueller's team? Manafort?

Doesn't make any sense.

I imagine that Corker and Flake had an inkling.

although he continued to vote for whatever dreck Turtle put up.

I think everyone knew "something was coming down" but both those guys expressed their displeasure "publicly" earlier on than most of the rest of the GOP garbage in the Senate.

The stink of drumpf is just marginally worse than the stink of being a rethug. They are all soulless and rotten to the core.

10. The Grassley/Feinstein split

In addition to Corker and Flake distancing themselves from the Trump rot, Sen. Grassley & Sen. Feinstein parted ways on the Senate Judiciary Committee's Russia investigation last week. I think Grassley and Feinstein knew what was coming and I think Grassley publicly accommodated the Reich wing by pivoting to the fake Hillary + Uranium deal distraction to "investigate." That's when Feinstein said, "Well you do your thing and I'll continue to investigate the real deal."
