'We're focusing on the wrong election' -Sen. Dick Durbin

"Today, we're focusing on the wrong election. Today, we're focused on the election of 2016," Durbin said. "If we were doing our job, we would be talking about the 2020 election, whether American law is adequate to discourage the Russian intervention. We are not doing that."

The Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday held a hearing on an FBI probe of Trump campaign officials, code-named “Crossfire Hurricane.”

Senate Republicans say the probe, which was later handed off to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, was intended to undermine Republican Trump's candidacy and presidency.

In December, a Justice Department watchdog found evidence of numerous errors but no political bias when the FBI opened the investigation.
