@SenTomCotton seems to be actively committing treason with some of his colleagues. He is up for reelection in Arkansas and is the Chair of Senate Intelligence Committee. This month he slipped Section 622 into the intel bill. It would force the US to hand intelligence secrets to Israel and write it into permanent law, so no future president can scale it back without filing paperwork and picking a public fight. I thought this was pretty bold (and treasonous), so I looked into him to figure out his motive.
You have some explaining to do, Cotton.
2014: Bill Kristol, the guy who sold America the Iraq war with the WMD lie, ~4,500 dead Americans, and zero apology, spends $960K to launch an unknown 37-year-old into the Senate.
Cotton wins. Then hires Kristol’s son to run his office.
Who else paid to put him there? The most pro-Israel megadonors in the country. The NYT literally named that donor circle as why Republicans went “more fervently pro-Israel than ever.” One of them, Paul Singer, just cut a $2.5 MILLION check to AIPAC’s super PAC this cycle. Singer is who poured a lot into Ed Gallrein.
Today Cotton’s war chest is ~$9.8M. Nearly $7M of it comes from out of state. Wall Street and Palm Beach, not Arkansas.
So what does Arkansas’s senator do with the power they bought him?
As Senate Intelligence Chairman, he just wrote a law forcing every future president to hand US intelligence secrets to Israel, permanently, with no price tag the public can see. He also is an Iran war hawk, pressed by the same man who got us into Iraq….
So, it’s pretty clear who Cotton works for and it’s not the American citizens.
