Republicans must stop interfering with Russia investigation

For the past several months I have been disturbed to see congressional Republicans working to interfere with the investigation into Russian interference in our election. To me this is clearly a bipartisan issue, but I have seen one party of our government trying to distract or to sweep it under the rug. This morning I was very happy to see Senate Democrats call our their Republican counterparts on this interference.

I am writing to say that I encourage Democrats in both chambers of Congress to keep bringing public pressure on the Republicans. Either the Republicans will bow to the pressure, or I am sure they will pay the price during the midterm elections.
