House Intel Committee GOP leader screws up and admits his Trump-Russia probe was a sham For the better part of the past year it was clear that the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee were gearing up to release a report which “exonerated” Donald Trump and his associates in the Trump-Russia scandal, in the hope of muddying the waters before the legitimate congressional probes and the Robert Mueller probe could get to the bottom of what really happened. That House Intel report was predictably released this past week. Now one of the key Republicans behind that report has just unwittingly admitted on national television that his report was a sham. After House Intel Committee Chairman Devin Nunes was caught racing to the White House in the middle of the night to give classified intel about the investigation to the Trump administration, control of the committee’s Trump-Russia probe was reassigned to Republican Congressman Mike Conaway. Nunes never did stop trying to influence his committee’s probe, and sure enough, the final report was every bit as dishonest as it would have been if Nunes had officially remained in charge. This told us that Conaway had no desire to run the investigation properly. Now he’s admitting it. Mike Conaway appeared on NBC’s Meet The Press on Sunday Morning and stated that “Our committee was not charged with answering the collusion idea, so we really weren’t focused on that direction.” This confirmed what Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the committee has long publicly asserted: important witnesses were never called, and crucial subpoenas were never signed off on, because the Republicans on the committee didn’t want to encounter the widespread evidence of collusion. [ Papadopoulos started the investigation, but he was never called as a witness. Afraid of what his testimony would be. ] Conaway’s office has since tried to walk back his remarks, insisting that he meant “obstruction” instead of “collusion.” ( link). But after Conaway and his committee spent the past year going out of their way to avoid coming into contact with the readily available evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, it’s fair to take this as an accidental admission on his part that they weren’t even looking for collusion. palmerreport.com
