Senator Klobuchar says Senate best suited to motivate Trump Russia investigation

Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar says the government owes it to the American people to get to the bottom of what is going on between the Russian government, the Trump campaign and the administration of President Donald Trump during the transition and in the months since, adding that an independent commission could get to the bottom of what happened to protect democracy, could issue recommendations to prevent cyber attacks and examine all contacts between Trump eights, surrogates, and Russian officials. Klobuchar adds that congressional committees continue to exercise oversight authority, a fundamental job of Congress that is not just for students on a school trip to learn from a textbook. Klobuchar quotes Archibald Cox, fired by Richard Nixon while investing Watergate. That democracy may be in great peril if a serious investigation is resisted, that Americans deserve answers, that they can get those answers from members of the United States Senate because they cannot be fired.
