Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC)the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committees probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election who has been publicly credited for his bipartisan approachrepeatedly denied evidence of Russian meddling on behalf of President Trump even after briefings from the intelligence community proved otherwise, according to a Wednesday report from Just Security. As a member of the Gang of Eight and the Gang of Twelvea group of top-level lawmakers authorized to receive national-security intelligenceBurr was repeatedly presented with evidence showing that Russian agents had hacked the Democratic National Committee, were working to help Trump win, and were targeting state-level voting systems. Nevertheless, on Oct. 3, 2016, he told Foreign Policy that I have yet to see anything that would lead me to believe that Russia was meddling in the election to help Trump. Just Security adds that Burr was also the only person who joined the Trump campaign who was privy to intelligence showing that members of the Trump campaign may have been colluding with Russia.

surfaces . Just can not imagine the distrust of Burr among his fellow Senators. Think about it.

DOJ and Mueller investigation.
I'm investing in KY stock.
Bend over, all ye Dems full of hope!

If you still belong to a party headed by Trump, you have betrayed your country.
But Burr really did his bit to help the Russia collusion along, with gusto.
