Mr. BANKS. Senate should be focusing on today, like funding DHS and paying our TSA agents or protecting our elections with the SAVE America Act, Democrats instead are bringing yet again another resolution that is a clear political potshot against President Trump. Democrats are more interested today in rehashing their failed attempt to delegitimize the 2016 election a decade ago than in bettering our great country.

The fact of the matter is, the reputation of Robert Mueller is a mixed bag, and the end result of the Mueller investigation that my colleague just talked about was a farce.

What has always remained constant is that Democrats just can't accept that Donald Trump won the election in 2016 fair and square. Ten years after that historic victory, Democrats are still complaining about it and advancing their Russian collusion hoax. Democrats know that the Russian collusion hoax was their attempt to undermine President Trump. They knew and they know now that it has been debunked time and time again.

The Mueller investigation was meant to stop President Trump and derail his agenda that he was elected by the American people to advance in 2016, and it was very costly to the American people and to this great country.

Robert Mueller will always be intertwined with the Russian collusion hoax that greatly damaged this country.

This resolution adds fuel to a fire that really burned out a long time ago. It is just another political hit job at President Trump, and I am not going to go along with it today.

There are so many more important things that we should be doing on the floor today--again, like funding DHS or protecting our elections.
