So is Sen. Blumenthal going to continue to keep the horrifying info on Russian interference secret?


Keep it from the American people?

Senators may read classified info into the Congressional Record without any penalty.

What good does it do to hold this secret, especially now that DNI refuses to brief members of Congress?

What good can come from keeping this info secret, when the republic is at grave risk?

He said that reading it into the record was not off the table.

NOW IS THE MOMENT.

the citizens of the U.S. should read it on the Senate floor so it can become

part of the Congressional Record.

If not, are they not enabling, aiding, and abetting ???

Russian and other foreign interference with the 2020 elections detailed in a new intelligence report must be declassified Sen. Richard Blumenthal says, as the document he calls ‘chilling’ outlines current foreign threats he believes every American should be warned about.

And how the American people had a right to know.

And when asked if he would read it into the Record, he said it's not off the table.

What are the leaders afraid of if it's made public?

Instability? Instability?


LOOK AROUND. LOOK AROUND.
