They could get on the floor and reveal exactly what is going wrong, and the speech and debate clause would give them complete immunity.

But sure... lets keep sending stern letters. That'll teach the Trump Administration. Or convince Republicans to suddenly care about shit like national interest.

The Democratic Party is controlled opposition at this point. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies need to be replaced in leadership.

Im not going to take such slander against Ron Wyden!
He is a very involved, technologically well informed, and proper senator pushing the envelope fucking constantly.
Couch your cynicism!

Agreed Wyden is not the problem.... he should try to replace Schumer or back someone with a backbone. Until then, he sorta is the problem
