WASHINGTON - U.S. Republican and Democratic senators introduced legislation on Wednesday seeking to deter Russia from meddling in U.S. elections by threatening stiff sanctions on its banking, energy and defense industries and sovereign debt.
The measure was introduced by Senators Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat, and Marco Rubio, a Republican. They offered a similar measure last year, when it also had bipartisan support but was never brought up for a vote by the Senate’s Republican leaders, who have close ties to President Donald Trump. According to details of the legislation, first reported by Reuters, it would require the U.S. Director of National Intelligence to determine, within 30 days of any federal election, whether Russia or other foreign government or anyone acting as an agent of that government, had engaged in election interference.
It also would order the prohibition of all transactions subject to U.S. jurisdiction in Russian sovereign debt, Russian government bonds and the debt of any entity owned or controlled by Russia’s government.
Little Marco Rubio 👦👼🏻
But Trump and the GOP like Russia's help. Why else was Russian Ambassador at the 2016 GOP national convention? Who invited him and why? Did he attend the 2016 DNC or had he found the traitors needed?
I wish him success... but the odds.... oh well hope he beats the odds, and hope you did the right thing.
Oh, wow! Now we’re all over it! Greaaaaaaaaaaat.....
No credibility Marco
Idiots running this country
I remember when Trump said to you 'little Marco'. and you know what? you have been an outstanding candidate!
They should start at home. Our own intel plays them for fools.
marcorubio you are one silly SOB!
What about google or liberal billionaires interfering
“ ... to attempts to influence U.S. elections.” Attempt!?
Be sure to include a vigorous finger wag
Good luck with that GOP.
How bout producing the servers to prove Russian meddling? I bet some Vault7 hacking tools were used.
Umm, what about Ukrainian & Chinese meddling. What about Saudi Arabian donors to Hillary?
Their donkey of a president just said windmills cause cancer. What a catastrophic embarrassment this has been.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Funny stuff. I think Reuters should take notes from real investigative journalists like Aaron Maté. He has debunked Russia-gate many times.
