Trump famously and very publicly invited Russian interference in our elections: “Russia, if you’re listening…” and within a few hours Russia began trying (unsuccessfully) to penetrate Hillary’s private server as they had the DNC’s.
Trump counted on Russians to be listening, but when the FBI listened (because they had picked up intercepts based on monitoring RUSSIANS, not Americans, until the Americans got caught in the intercepts of Russians), Trump whines about “spying” which only happened because Trump’s people got snared in a Russian net.
Trump’s namesake son had invited illegal Russian in-kind donations of opposition research, “If it’s what you say it is, I love it.”
Now Trump announces that he would do it again. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocks House bills to secure our election from even getting an up-or-down floor vote.
Senator Mark Warner (D-Virginia) introduced an emergency measure for a unanimous consent voice vote, which would explicitly require that notification to the FBI if any foreign entity offered to aid an election. Sen Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) blocked the unanimous consent.
Democrats are trying to save our democracy.
Republicans, who know they cannot win a fair, free election, are making every effort to sabotage fair, free elections in the United States.
Republicans know they cannot win without illegal Russian complicity, and they have become increasingly brazen in their vicious attacks on our country.

We are being attacked from within.
