"Russian state TV hosts brazenly assert, 'Trump is ours,' and joke that U.S. lawmakers traveled to Russia 'to make deals with our hackers, so they can rig the midterms in favor of Trump’s team'."

1. as if it wasn't obvious to the entire world already

2. 7 republican senators

This needs to be brought up over and over. Why did those 7 go to russia without any Democrat? And if they believed russia interfered in the ’16 election then why would they try get along? Shouldn't they be demanding more sanctions? How was that any kind of deterrence for Putin? The senate Intelligence Committe released the report while they were there.

4. This has got to be the most under reported story ever. Too bad there is not a "liberal media" to

keep stories like this alive.

3. This sounds like The Onion

It's getting harder and harder to tell what's satire and what's real.

5. Every single one of them

should be sanctioned. Bring them before the Intelligence Committee to make explanations about what exactly they wanted to accomplish by this trip? They spent more time travelling over there than they normally do in their offices, for cry sake! Just how much Russian money is circulating around DC?

6. republicans have lots of skanky "friends"

and all of them are apparently enemies of America and American democracy.
