Tammy Duckworth on Comey's testimony:

http://politics.thenet24h.com/link/466347/duckworth-statement-former-fbi-director-james-comeys-senate-intelligence-committee

The key sentence in this statement:

"These accusations are not normal and they transcend petty partisanship."

Our Senator has the right idea. We have to keep emphasizing that there is nothing NORMAL about what 45 is doing. This is not a normal presidency. Any attempt by the media or the repiggies to normalize trump should be fought tooth and nail.

I love our Senator!

and stick to our beliefs, and keep resisting.

What American president wouldn't be furious to find out our elections had been hacked? You would expect him to make it his top priority, to find out what happen, and how to prevent it from happening in the future. And that's what so wrong about this whole mess. Despite 11 intel agencies verifying it did happen, Trump continued to deny it did, even called it "fake news". Honestly how un American can you get?

I understand republicans are just happy their candidate won, and could care less. But in reality all Americans should be outraged. We are always told how precious our vote is, that battles were fought and people died for us to have the right to vote. So why should we keep quiet about this?

Remember Mitch McConnell saying that his first priority was to ensure that Obama did not succeed?

it is all about their agenda...and only their agenda. Note how secret the hearings are about their plan to replace ACH. Many of their own senators don't know what is going on. McConnell couldn't care less. It is all about "partisan politics" ...as you said.
