Quoting HCR from Facebook (because finding it among multi-thousands of comments becomes increasingly difficult as the day wears on): "It's quite a read, no? I wrote a ton on it tonight and cut it all. Thinking about doing a weekend post that lays out the whole Russia story. What do you think? Should I?"

In a word, YES.

I started digging into the Senate Report last night during the PBS Newshour warmup. The initial summary is bad enough. Still working my way through the fact section on Manafort. How could ANY Senator with awareness of this information cast votes for a) no witnesses, and b) acquittal? We thought Watergate coverup was big; this one involves an entire political party, likely spanning all three branches of government.

The general public will never red the document (or its predecessors), but a good HCR summary they might.

The absolutely most disgusting thing—and it’s a contest—is the knowledge Senate Republicans had about Trump’s collusion, using the common definition, with the Russians And unanimously save one acquitted him anyway. As expected, this broadened his range of lawlessness, not taught him a less as Collins so naively predicted. Every senate Repub ought to be tried for criminal cooperation.
