Investigate Mitch McConnell and Penalize accordingly
Documents show that Mitch McConnell is linked to super PAC that took $2.5 million from a pro-Putin Ukrainian businessman last election cycle!
Senator Mitch McConnell (and others with such links) should also be investigated for collusion with Russia and any other crime.

Why is this important?
Please sign today to help our country and penalize any collusion with Russia! According to the Palmer Report:
A new report connects the financial dots between Russian money and Mitch McConnell, Scott Walker and other Republican leaders. The newly unearthed research has been produced by political pundit Scott Dworkin. This week he’s posted a treasure trove of documents tying various Republican Party leaders to campaign funding that’s coming from entities that appear to be close to the Russian government. For instance he’s found that a Super PAC linked to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took $2.5 million from a pro-Kremlin oligarch in Ukraine during the most recent election.
Dworkin has also determined that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker took $1 million in similar fashion during the last election cycle (link) – and he’s publicly posted the relevant documents to support his assertions. He’s also tied Republican leaders including Ted Cruz, John McCain, and Marco Rubio to much smaller amounts of Russian money (link), suggesting Russia has been trying to cover its bases across the entire GOP.
And so, even as everyone from the Senate Intelligence Committee to the FBI to newly appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller digs in and attempts to determine why Donald Trump is so personally and politically loyal to Russia, and whether it’s due to a money trail, some of his most prominent allies in the Republican Party have already been confirmed to have taken money that’s come from Russia or its intermediaries.

Note, Legislators can be removed by the House in which they serve. What might also need to be considered, is recall.
Art 1, section 2
"The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment"
Article 1 section3
"The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."
"Under Article I, Section 5, clause 2, of the Constitution, a Member of Congress may be removed from office before the normal expiration of his or her constitutional term by an “expulsion” from the Senate (if a Senator) or from the House of Representatives (if a Representative) upon a formal
vote on a resolution agreed to by two-thirds of the Members of that body present and voting."
(2nd source)
"As to removal by recall, the United States Constitution does not provide for nor authorize the recall of United States officers such as Senators, Representatives, or the President or Vice President, and thus no Member of Congress has ever been recalled in the history of the United States."
As noted in the second source to permit recall would require a Constitutional amendment. That is a cumbersome process.
The process of recall would require spending tax money on a recall vote. There would much political debate, name calling and maneuvering. in the case of Representatives with only a 2 year term, recall would be impractical. It would be simpler to vote them out of office at the next regular election.
