Top Democrats are calling on Congress to give the FBI $300 million to fight potential foreign interference in this year's midterm elections, a request that comes just days after the Justice Department indicted Russians for meddling in the 2016 presidential contest.
The letter being sent Wednesday by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and top Democrats on the House and Senate appropriations committees calls on Republicans to provide the funding as part of "a robust and urgent response" to the Russian government's attempts to interfere in American elections.
"Congress must respond immediately to attacks on our democracy by a foreign adversary," the Democrats wrote. "We urge you to join us in vigorously combating efforts to sow discord in our country and support our state and local officials with the critical resources they need to protect our election systems."

Bill it to Obama, Hillary and the DNC. They invited the Russians in.
Purge voter rolls, present proper I’D to register. Proper I’D to vote. No exceptions, no temp ballots.
Election ploy. Idiots.
How about money to fire incompetent/politicized FBI agents and use $300M to hire and train true patriots in their place?
Or to follow ISLAMIC TERRORISTS in ALL the 50 States?
The way the FBI fights Russian “interference” won’t cost that much. I mean, how expensive can it be to get FISA warrants to tap the RNC and Republican Senate and House Campaign Committees? Even throw in a new Steele dossier.
It wouldn't cost that much to arrest every member of the Demagogic Party, and that's what it would take to shut down foreign interference. Thanks Libloather.
Rewarding failure?
Nah.
Is the FBI still a thing? Shouldn’t be.
There’s no problem for the Dems that cannot be solved by spending more of other people’s money.
You want to solve the FBI problem? Fire everyone in a paneled office.
Deport all illegal aliens. There, I fixed it. Now where is my $300 million dollars?
I like that $300 MM figure. Except it should be a negative number. It should be reduction in their budget.
Hacking Democracy - The Hack
The 16th Amendment can disappear too.
That might be enough to find out where all the money from the Middle East originated that put a Marxist African Muslim in the White House.
Catch them off guard at GROUND ZERO right here!
Nail the evil-doers at their headquarters before they scurry to the four winds like the rats that they are.
Someone posting an opinion on social media is not election interference. The whole premise is crap.
Prosecute all foriegners who try to influence our elections!!!
Start with every illegal participating in any way, in any campaign. Hell yes!
This will be used against Americans, not foreigners. Democrats care more about foreigners than Americans. Don’t believe them.
You forgot the illegal alien part.
Can an illegal alien, muslim, half-breed from Africa qualify as a wetback?
After all - they call camels "Ships Of The Desert".
The corrupt FBI should have no part in the election process.
