CIA: Nine U.S. Senators and twelve Representatives are currently under criminal investigation

[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Innocent until proven guilty. We can wait for the full panoply of the law.

Congress critters need to back off. Foreign money kickbacks and related activities are an exclusive Klingon domain.

#10  Several states have special elections instead of governor appointments. There’s also the possibility that this report will work as well as John Durham taking down the DC establishment.

#9  ^
Depends on the State. If Gov is a D, a new appointee will almost certainly be a D. Last I checked there were about 23 Govs who were a D and the rest were R.

#8  Dems have new kleptocrats stacked in chutes like McDonalds used to do with hamburgers. Removing one leads to another of the same quality.

#7  Currently 53 Republican and 45 Democratic senators (with 2 "independents"). Drop 9 Democratic senators and they only have 36. With a few defections a 2/3 majority vote is within reach. Except the RINOs and independents will ensure it isn't. Well - we can always dream . . .

Subtract 9 Democratic senators from the voting quorum and you start getting close to a solid majority

#6  Seems like an awfully low number. Maybe those are only the ones charged. No real corroborating info. If this is a chargeable offense, how did the Biden’s skate?

#4  /\ I'd put money on that one. While we're at it, can someone please run the traps on the late Jeffrey Epstein's unexplained wealth and more recently, Hunter Biden's 60 +/- trips abroad on USG aircraft ?

#3  ^ the fact that the bribes are coming from foreign actors sets the CIA as the starting point - DOJ needs to pick it up from there.

#2  Why is the CIA involved in domestic law enforcement?
