One more reason not to vote for Democrats. Yes, Russia trying to do bad things is always a reality which Republicans always took seriously. But it’s only since they lost that Democrats have suddenly realized that and turned it into a means to attack the GOP, when it’s been Democrats who were the buddies of Russia for decades.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) said Thursday if Democrats win back Congress in the 2018 midterms, they’ll be forced to investigate not only Russian meddling in the 2016 election but the 2018 one as well because of Republicans inviting more interference.
“My fear is that we will go into this upcoming election inviting Russia to interfere again, and that if Democrats win the majority, we will be charged not only with investigating the interference in the 2016 election, but we will also have to investigate the interference that the Republicans have invited and have given a green light to in this upcoming election,” Swalwell said on “The Rachel Maddow Show.”
House Republicans on the Intelligence Committee wrapped up their year-long investigation of the 2016 election on Monday, agreeing with the intelligence community’s assessment that the Kremlin interfered but breaking with it by saying the interference wasn’t done to benefit Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
