How generous

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the Senate will get an election security briefing, after weeks of public clamoring for Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to agree to the demand.

Schumer, speaking from the Senate floor, indicated that the Senate GOP leader had agreed to his weeks-long call for all senators to receive a briefing in the wake of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

"I have some positive news. I have spoken to the Republican leader about that request. He has assured me we will have a briefing," Schumer said.

He added that he and McConnell were still ironing out the timing of when the Senate briefing would take place but urged the GOP leader to hold it within weeks — before the Senate's current work period runs out at the end of June.

So, when do you think Mitch will allow it? Late November 2020?

The closed-door briefing comes as senators have mounted a bipartisan push in the wake of Mueller's report to try to move election security through the Senate, but have run into high-profile opposition from McConnell and Senate Rules Committee Chairman Roy Blunt (R-Mo.).

Because they can't win if they don't cheat. And they know it.

"I hope it reignites a desire on both sides of the aisle to move legislation, increase funding and do what's necessary to protect our democracy," Schumer said.

Pipe dreams, Chuck. Pipe dreams.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
