I genuinely wonder what the kompromat is on Sensor Tuberville. He seems to do everything in his power to help Putin’s military interests.

When a senator does it, there’s backlash

But when a twice-impeached presidential nominee facing nearly 100 felony counts does it, he gains support?

This guy is absolutely in Putin’s pocket. He spent months obstructing our military’s appointment is senior leaders and now he’s directly simping for Putin. He’s actively trying to make the US weaker and Russia stronger. He should be expelled and impeached so he can’t hold public office again.

Correct. The Tommy Tuberville reference is about Russian asset and known traitor Tommy Tuberville, who famously betrayed the U.S. by being a traitor and Russian asset.

Can we just bring him up on treason charges and give him the ol’ treasonous-bastard special?

At that point he should really remain on Capitol Hill…just on a pike, as an example of how to deal with traitors.

When will we start to investigate politicians and media figures for ties to our adversaries?

It’s a fundamental national security concern and needs to be part of the security clearance program.

We tried that once. It didn’t go so well.

That’s a disingenuous comparison.

But fair enough, guardrails need to be in place.

Investigating is one thing; persecuting with nothing more than suspicion is quite another.

Agreed. See also: Benghazi, Hunter Biden, etc.

We have a bad habit of gliding down the slippery slope.
