But it’s not just Trump who’s acting just like someone whose career relies on keeping a foreign oligarch happy…

Dear @SpeakerRyan: I appreciate your words. But as Speaker, there are actual actions you can take. For example:
1. Subpoena the translator in the private meeting of @realDonaldTrump with Putin. Congress needs to know what was said.
2. Allow a vote on bills to protect Mueller. https://t.co/6MzPLTb6Ba
