Schumer Tries To Resuscitate The Russia Hoax
Three GOP Senate committee chairmen--Chuck Grassley, Lindsey Graham, and Ron Johnson--are seeking transcripts of interviews that DNC operative Alexandra Chalupa had with Ukrainian officials during the 2016 election. See, these senators don't think the Ukraine Hoax--the reality that Ukraine was the Origin of the Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax --is a "conspiracy theory". How dare they!
This got Chuck Schumer's knickers totally in a knot, and he responded in predictable scoundrel fashion , as reported by Chad Pergram:
Schumer: When Vladimir Putin says stoop, Senate Republicans are asking: how low? Putin..couldn't have cooked up a more useful tool for spreading conjured and baseless conspiracy theories than the one Chairmen Graham, Grassley and Johnson announced today.

Schumer: Every day that Senate Republicans parrot Putin’s talking points further undermines our democracy— & our national security—& raises questions about why the Republican majority in the Senate continues to block legislation to better secure our elections from Putin’s assault

This desperate attempt to resuscitate the lifeless corpse of the Russia Hoax may play with the low info NeverTrump crowd--maybe--but it probably won't go down well as Schumer tries to negotiate with McConnell for favorable Senate impeachment trial rules. An eventuality that remains to be seen.
