webfact Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 U.S. Democrats want Russia sanctions over 2020 election interference U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) holds a news conference after the final vote on the war powers resolution regarding potential military action against Iran, at the Capitol in Washington, U.S. February 13, 2020. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senior U.S. Democrats said on Monday that President Donald Trump's administration should immediately impose sanctions on Russia after U.S. intelligence officials told members of Congress that Russia appeared to be trying to influence this year's U.S. election. Senators Chuck Schumer, Bob Menendez and Sherrod Brown wrote to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin demanding that the administration "immediately and forcefully" put sanctions on the government in Moscow and any Russians involved in election interference. A congressional source told Reuters on Friday that intelligence officials had told lawmakers that Russia appeared to be engaging in disinformation and propaganda campaigns to help both Democratic presidential challenger Bernie Sanders and Trump, who is seeking re-election in November. The Kremlin on Friday denied interference. U.S. law allows the administration to propose sanctions on Moscow in response to election interference. Congress passed the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, or CAATSA, in 2017 partly in response to the intelligence community's finding that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to boost Trump's chances of winning the White House. Moscow denies that allegation and Trump has repeatedly questioned the finding. In the letter released on Monday, the three senators urged Pompeo and Mnuchin to move swiftly to impose sanctions. "Doing anything less would be an abdication of your responsibility to protect and defend the US from this serious threat to our national security, and to the integrity of our electoral process," they wrote. The White House, State Department and Treasury did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Schumer is the Senate Democratic leader. Menendez and Brown are the top Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations and Banking committees, which oversee sanctions policy. Trump replaced acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire with U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell last week. According to media reports, Trump was annoyed by the briefing to lawmakers about Russian interference.

As far as requesting help investigating Biden, that is not cheating either. The President can request help investigation corruption wherever he pleases, and just because Biden is running for office does not shield him and his family from their illegal activities. Bragging about the incident on a TV interview probably wasn’t the brightest thing Biden ever did either, but it is typical Biden behavior. Your accusations of cheating without providence references amount to nothing more than malicious rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand. You are patriotic and are doing for the sake of the country.... But when Pres Trump is reelected in a landslide, will you quiet down then? As a patriotic move for the benefit of the country, who clearly will have rejected your view of Presidnet Trump? Maybe work together for the benefit of all, instead of villifying your fellow citizens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apparently "the Dem's" (sic) aren't people? Were you speaking for them when polls showed a majority of "the people" wanted an impeachment trial and witnesses? "The people" elected the democratic candidate in 2016 by popular vote too. Those things didn't turn out well for "the people". Perhaps "the people" would be better off if you stopped speaking for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
