A proud former Repub is calling for an Independent Investigation Commission like the Dems have been calling for (for months!) and already have a bill introduced that the GOP won't sign. We MUST have this!
Rachel said that the longer this investigation continues the more Russia is "winning" and our democracy is withering. Yes, we need a thorough investigation and that takes time but an Ind Invest is a necessity for this very reason.
It is non partisan, fairly quick, thoroughly complete, can't be derailed by 45 and the GOP!

(51,717 posts)I guess most people don't notice it. I called all 100 senators asking for one last Feb when I first heard about it from various reps on the different MSNBC shows. In May there was an Indivisible rally/march in San Diego calling for one and I attended that.
I looked into it at the time and it has been spoken about but the dems aren't very good at promoting a lot of issues when they should be yelling it from the roof tops. That is 1001 things the dems need to improve upon and FAST!
