The Trump administration is systematically purging anyone who worked on the investigations into his criminal activities.
If that isn't sufficient to trigger a significant response from the Senate all by itself, then they're rather obviously part of the problem, and likely complicit in Trump's current ongoing efforts to overthrow the US government and repace it with a plutocratic autocracy with himself as supreme ruler.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, Frank Figliuzzi, who served as assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, claimed there is a strong possibility that almost half of the department's employees could be forced out, thereby putting the nation's security at extreme risk.
Imagine you were a hostile foreign power and you wanted to take down your competition once and for all. You might seek out a power-hungry public figure who cared more about themselves than their country, and who could be easily manipulated, blackmailed if necessary (so you'd want someone seedy), and offer them a personal reward if they dismantled their country's government and public institutions and sabotaged its alliances and trade partnerships. If your hostile foreign power was also a socially backwards and racist, you might encourage their own racism and prejudices to punish mostly liberal LGBTQ+ people and kick out or imprison the low-paid immigrants who help the country function. It would be terrible if something like that were to happen in real life and the people were just to allow it.

I've been deliberately avoiding addressing that whole aspect of it, since Trump and Musk are the obvious primary insurrectionists - the day-to-day leaders of this brazen attempt to overthrow the US government and install a plutocratic autocracy in its place.
But yes.

We know that because it out in the open. Under oath admissions of collusion is the best way to get people against these assholes though, and possibly get them in jail when that is convenient again.

It was a former FBI official that (as you put it) "Urged" Senate.
That's because he can't do anything else. It is on us to join him and also put pressure on politicians, but looks like it is easier to just fart on a chair and swipe down the feed than do anything.
We are currently in a middle of a coup, and we really need to put a resistance: https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-of-destruction

This guy was always a bastard. So of course Trump's bootlickers love him.
