Democrats on the committee

Is this the committee that the republicans were dragging their feet on naming their members so the committee couldn’t send transcripts of testimony to Mueller?

[Hugo Stiglitz 23359]

Yes

Will Hurd on an Intelligence committee? Committee name does not check out.

All the better to show how the Repubs are intellectual buffoons. 

Adam Schiff will run circles around them.

Hurd was on the committee last term as well and rubber stamped all of the Nunez ‘release the memo’ nonsense intended to gloss over any real oversight on the Russia treason we have been living with for the last two years.  Biggest reason I voted for Ortiz-Jones over that Aggie.  2020 will be unkind to him despite his efforts to paint himself as a good Anti-Trump GOPer.

I may have to walk back my critique of Hurd. He was just on Bill Maher and did a pretty good job of throwing Trump under the bus.

So, it has only taken a few Republicans 5 years come to grips with unassailable facts and admit that their party is irredeemably lost:

House Intelligence Committee chair Mike Turner said Sunday that Russian propaganda has “absolutely” seeped its way to Congress, saying some of his Republican colleagues have repeated false claims on the chamber’s floor.

“It is absolutely true we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” the Ohio Republican told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

Turner’s comments come after House Foreign Affairs chair Michael McCaul’s told Puck News last week that Russian propaganda has “infected a good chunk” of the GOP base.

Turner, who has been an outspoken advocate of passing additional aid to embattled Ukraine, said Sunday: “There are members of Congress today who still incorrectly say that this conflict between Russia and Ukraine is over NATO, which of course it is not.”

It’s more accurate to say that some members of their party aren’t infected yet. Until Johnson brings Ukraine to the floor, that’s the ideology that’s in control.
