They WANT foreign interference

Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) on Tuesday blocked an attempt by Democrats to pass legislation meant to prevent Russia and other countries from interfering in elections.

Crapo's move came after Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) asked for consent to pass the Defending Elections from Threats by Establishing Redlines, or DETER Act. Van Hollen argued the bill would underscore that there would be a "very tough price to pay" if Moscow meddles in U.S. elections.

Senators first introduced the legislation in early 2018, but [...] the bill has stalled amid pushback from GOP senators and members of leadership.

Crapo — who is chairman of the Banking Committee, which is one of two Senate panels with jurisdiction over sanctions — noted that the upper chamber had already passed sanctions legislation targeting Moscow in 2017.

"I think that President Trump has probably put more sanctions on the Russians than any president in our history," Crapo said.

Like the bill he blocked, Crapo is aptly named.
