Tommy Tuberville — the Alabama GOP senator who has single-handedly held up hundreds of Defense Department promotions over its abortion policy, impacting US military readiness — has parroted Russian propaganda by insisting Ukraine “can’t win” the war against Moscow.
During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Monday night, Tuberville highlighted how he has voted against US aid packages to Ukraine, but that it doesn’t even matter how much funding the eastern European country gets because it has “no chance” of beating Russia in the war.
I don’t understand why they have not asked the DOJ to conduct an espionage act investigation on Tuberville. Holding up the appointment of leaders of the US military doesn’t seem like something someone acting in the interest of the US would do. Even if he is just being a cunt, telling him he’s under investigation for espionage and announcing so publicly, considering the death penalty is an allowable sentence for espionage, he will comply very quickly.
How did a former football coach turned politician bring this process to a halt? Someone has to be advising him, and even if it’s a domestic actor, they should be called out for it.
For the same reason it took years to charge trump for leading a violent insurrection on national TV
These are “cross every t” situations. Because for the investigators and prosecution, it is pretty much the end of their career. The best case scenario? They retire and get a job elsehwere. Most likely, they get fired/“put on an improvement plan” the moment a republican is their boss. And that assumes they aren’t just served up to the public. Valerie Plame is a pretty good example of that.
And Democrats generally are “fine” with that. Because if it were “easy” to investigate corruption or treason by an elected official, they know that the republicans would charge them every five seconds. Remember the constant attempts to impeach Obama? You can bet that folk like AOC would be “under investigation” near constantly as a way to keep them from engaging in votes or having any say.
Like most things related to the us government: it falls apart when you don’t have good faith interactions.
