I don't understand how its legal for American politicians @SenRonJohnson @LindseyGrahamSC to work w Russian agent Telizhenko / KGB mafia thug Derkach to launder russian fabricated intel from a Ukrainian fugitive and Yanukovych ally to attack our elections
Anyone else doing that would he charged w conspiracy against United States
The rest involved are Giuliani, Donoghue, Brady, Nunes, Jordan, Barr, Sessions, Manafort. On the Ukrainian side its Yanukovych's (fled to russia after committing treason against Ukraine) people, Kolomoisky, Shokin, etc. This is really insane

(33,643 posts)Not that if there WERE such laws, Barr would enforce them.
But I doubt there actually are explicit laws against it. More of an 'expectation' that Senators don't conduct themselves this way.
Now ... should Dems get back Senate ... perhaps these dudes can be penalized by the Body.

(38,187 posts)He is a danger to democratically elected governments and all citizens of countries with democratically elected governments. He needs to be stopped, but none of the governments so far have bothered to notice it. In America, Republicans are cozying right up to him to help him usurp the will of the voters, because Republicans always cheat. They cheat because no one ever punishes them for it or stops them.
So, we just sit back and let it happen. Surely with all the great minds in the Democratic Party and law degrees galore, someone can figure out how to stop Putin and stop Republicans from getting away with cheating so much. I don't understand why no one is the least bit alarmed by all this. Are any of them working on this? Do they even realize how much of a danger Putin is already and how much worse it will get if he is allowed to continue? He cannot even treat his own neighbors right, got his whole government to resign so he could reinstall himself permanently, for the most part, as leader forever in Russia, and now he is deciding elections in our countries too. Why is no one else angry about this? I feel like a lone voice no one will listen to sometimes.

Also the first amendment protects distributing info, especially related to elections
The remedy is demonstrating the info is false
