Republican Sen. Roy Blunt, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, on Tuesday called for an exhaustive investigation into connections between President Donald Trump and Russia and said the Intelligence Committee should immediately speak with former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Flynn resigned Monday evening amid revelations that he misled Vice President Mike Pence about conversations he had in December with Russia's ambassador to the US about sanctions placed on Russia. Pence had defended Flynn on television and denied he discussed sanctions after initial reports of the conversations.

"I think everybody needs that investigation to happen," Blunt said on KTRS radio. "And the Senate Intelligence Committee, again that I serve on, has been given the principle responsibility to look into this, and I think that we should look into it exhaustively so that at the end of this process, nobody wonders whether there was a stone left unturned, and shouldn't reach conclusions before you have the information that you need to have to make those conclusions."

"But the Senate Intelligence Committee is looking at this," he continued. "I would think that we should talk to Gen. Flynn very soon and that should answer a lot of questions. What did he know? What did he do? And is there any reason to believe that anybody knew that and didn't take the kind of action they should have taken?"

1. Damn straight

The rest of the republicans are failing America, failing to do their jobs, and empowering treason

2. Flynn will invoke the 5th amendment and refuse to say anything.

And that will be the end of it because the Congressional Republicans will likely not grant him immunity from prosecution. They will say "we tried, what else could we do?"

3. they dont need to investigate shit. it is sitting in front of them. they already saw it.

i'll give you assholes 48 hours to highlight the bits you are willing to make public, then i expect to see your ass one the senate floor spilling the beans for all the world to see.

how we deal w this will be the standard for democracies everywhere. it is time to dust off the constitution, and shut this treason in plain sight down.
it is time to put country above party if you want to have a party left.
that goes for both parties. plenty of dems have seen this info. time for some profiles in courage. read it into the record, somebody. loose your security clearance. save your country.

the whole world is watching.
