TBH I don’t think this is getting struck down in this Senate with it’s current makeup of 2 Independents, 53 Republicans and 45 Democrats.
I don’t think it’s gonna get hot either way. They ignore it and they tell everyone they’ve done something wrong, why do that when you can do a sham investigation and declare dear leader has done nothing wrong.
