And frankly, the whataboutism that has invaded the Republicans is just a reflexive reaction to the selling out of their own principles. And if you are going to do it, even though it is weak, pointing out when Ted Kennedy explicitly asked the Commies to influence Reagan's campaign would have been a much better example.
I'm sorry that Franken/Leahy didn't ask the questions you wish they had.

Not a big deal because you don't think his lying about the subject is a big deal or because you don't think he lied? Because, regardless of what Franken asked him, he said, “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I did not have communications with the Russians.” Seems like he was lying to Congress, which is a crime, right? He also apparently denied it in a written application.
