The #RubioReport shows definitively that @marcorubio and members of the @SenateGOP understood that @realDonaldTrump's campaign was in touch with Russian intelligence during the 2016 campaign. #TheyKnew

That means #TheyKnew the Trump campaign, Bannon, Manafort, Kushner, Don. Jr, all them, had inappropriate contacts with Russian operatives when the @SenateGOP acquitted @realDonaldTrump of abusing his office. #RubioReport

It was no mistake that @marcorubio was made Chairman of the Senate Intel Committee. @senatemajldr and @realDonaldTrump needed someone who would soft-sell the #RubioReport’s findings. Who better than #LittleMarco? #TheyKnew

Someone should ask @marcorubio (again) why he made sure to strip out provisions in American law that would require presidential campaigns to inform the FBI and DOJ of contacts by foreign governments. #TheyKnew #RubioReport

Why? Because @realdonaldtrump, @vp, @jaredkushner are doing it again in 2020. They will gladly take help from anyone who will help them retain power, even in the face of probable/likely electoral defeat this November. #TheyKnew #RubioReport

Now @RonJohnsonWI (@SenRonJohnson) is carrying water for Russia again. He’s planning to smear @JoeBiden with fabricated intelligence he received from Russian-backed Ukrainians. Don’t be surprised by #RussianRon’s September Surprise. #TheyKnew #RubioReport

Remember #RussianRon? He spent the Fourth of July 2018 in Moscow. Maybe all the #MayDay flights were booked. @RonJohnsonWI (@SenRonJohnson). #TheyKnew #RubioReport

Each one of these Republican senators violated their oaths, their consciences and their responsibilities. But it’s worse now. We’ve criticized their silence on @realdonaldtrump’s actions and words.
