Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) read part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the 2016 election from the Senate floor on Tuesday, formally putting portions of the report into the Congressional Record.

Warren, who is competing for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, read part of the report as she rebutted Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) declaration of “case closed” on the Russia investigation.

“Since the Majority Leader has pronounced his judgement here on the Senate floor, I’d like to spend some time reminding him of exactly what the report said,” Warren said from the Senate floor.

Warren proceeded to read passages from Mueller’s report detailing Russia’s election meddling, saying she was “shaken by the evidence.” The senator was the first Democratic presidential candidate to call for President Trump's impeachment in the wake of the report's release last month.

She homed in on several passages where Mueller detailed Trump's calls for White House staff to get rid of the special counsel, including his demand that former White House counsel Don McGahn remove Mueller, his talks with former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) about firing Mueller and the “episodes” Mueller outlined about potential obstruction.

6. Brava!

7. Thank you Elizabeth!

Let's do this for the entire report, piece by piece.

And after every relevant piece the Democrat's should say "And This is what The Republicans want to cover up".

Glad she's doing something instead of just scolding.

8. Thank you Elizabeth!

9. McTurtle doesn't care. ...

She could read the whole report, highlight every crime Dolt45 committed,
and McTurtle will never prosecute the impeachment.

BTW, thank you, Sen. Warren

12. Elizabeth has been on fire lately. I could see her joining Bernie in giving Joe a run for his money.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

13. Thank God/Goddess SHE persisted!

Go, Liz, GO!

[Duppers]

16. Absolutely, Go Liz!!

14. So happy she's doing this. The first 40-60 pages of volume 1...

which are all about Russian election meddling, are getting lost.

Calling out the Kremlin-created companies and the evidence of what they did, the coordination with Wikileaks, and hacking into the DNC servers should not be a partisan issue, but here we are.

There are no honorable republicans. I haven’t heard a peep from them about volume 1. Instead they all are trying to discredit the whole report. What does that say about them as American citizens?

21. EVERY Senator running for president should take a turn reading the Mueller report.

One after another. And one of ‘em ought to invite Senator Mitt Romney to take a turn. He should. He’s already said it sickened him.

17. Gauntlet thrown down!

Good on her!

18. The times call for a fascist hunter. Warren has the right stuff.

Harris too.

19. Love it!

20. Great Day For Democracy, The Senate And Massachusetts' Senior Senator! (n/t)

22. She persists!

[donkeypoofed]

23. I just luv this! She is great.
