Maybe A Small Coalition of Democrats SHOULD Negotiate

They could invite Putin to a closed door congressional hearing.

Work something out... Putin acknowledges his interference in the election, gives up the dirt on Trump, agrees to a treaty to not repeat the act in exchange for pre-2016 Election levels of sanctions (it doesn't undo Crimea/Ukraine sanctions). Democrats would allow Putin to address Congress (like Repubs did with Bebe) confessing everything.

Wonder how Trump would react to that?

It would be a setup for the Dems and a bad faith negotiation, at best. They are wise to turn down the “meeting.” The House has already passed numerous bills to reopen the government, including the Republican one previously passed by the senate.
