And prior to that in March of 2016 in Papadopoulos told Trump that the
Russians were going to work to put "the fix in" for the elections republican
senators such as Cornyn worked to block President Obama's pick for the
SCOTUS, Merrick Garland.

Here are more dots to connect. Papadopoulos’ guilty plea states that he first learned about Russia’s willingness to help rig the election on March 14th of 2016. Two days later, key Senate Republican John Cornyn announced that he intended to block the Merrick Garland nomination.
