Report: Senate Votes Down Iran War Powers Resolution 50 to 49

Fetterman voted with the GOP majority to crush "a war powers resolution to limit President Trump’s authority to wage war against Iran."

The vote was 50 to 49. Three Republicans joined Democrats.

This was willful intimidation by the trump regime of a law-abiding citizen. They charged and got a grand jury indictment based on zero real evidence and they knew it.

Six other people were arrested on misdemeanor charges of vandalism

And now they simply blame a govt. agency for withholding evidence. Case closed. No disclosures of grand jury testimony. No consequences. Not even an apology. Mission accomplished.
