Remember when Senator Cotton ridiculed the Russian investigation?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/06/13/tom-cotton-do-you-like-jason-bourne/102827052/

<snip>
Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton earned a spot on the highlight reel from Jeff Sessions' testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday when he began asking the attorney general about his affinity for spy stories.

"Do you like spy fiction?" Cotton asked, listing authors like John LeCarré, Daniel Silva and Jason Matthews. Sessions said he did, adding that he'd just finished reading a spy novel by David Ignatius.

"Do you like Jason Bourne or James Bond movies?" Cotton then asked.

Sessions toyingly said no initially, before admitting that he does.

"Have you ever, in any of these fantastical situations, heard of a plot line so ridiculous that a sitting United States senator and an ambassador of a foreign government colluded at an open setting with hundreds of other people to pull off the greatest caper in the history of espionage?" Cotton asked.

Dear Jesus

Please arrange that the replacement nominee Senator for OK to be an ardent practitioner of bestiality and that there are hundreds of pictures that will be discovered two weeks before the election.

With his defeat and the election of two Democratic Senators from Alabama and Oklahoma I will return attending Church every Sunday.
