My heart was in my throat reading this tweet. The intelligence committee has been receiving regular reports about foreign interference in our national elections. He just indicated that it is incredibly serious.
All of this begs the question; if this is such a serious issue, why aren’t Democrats going to the press? Where are the leaks? Why aren’t there readings on the floor?
We need our party to accept that this isn’t business as usual, and we need to disclose these dangers directly to our citizens. How do we defend our democracy if we don’t know the perils threatening it?
Someone needs to be our Ellsberg.
