Schumer just made a statement.

He is putting pressure on Ryan and McConnell step up and ratchet up the sanctions, insist tRump's team testify to congress, etc.

Will they or won't they? I doubt anything substantial will be done, why would this change their MO?

The media need to stop looking to the powerless Democrats and start looking to the Republicans - who are in power - for what's to be done about this appalling spectacle.

Asking are McConnell and Ryan compromised too? Is that why they are refusing to do anything now? He and Nancy should be hounding them daily about nothing going forward until they know trump is not a russia agent for putin .
