(THREAD) CBS just spoke to the REPUBLICAN chair of the Senate Intelligence Committeenow entering its third year of investigating Trump-Russia tiesand what Richard Burr has to tell America should decimate any lingering skepticism about Mueller. I hope you'll read on and retweet.
1/ Here's the link to the CBS interview. Skeptics reading this threadwho will be stunned by what they readshould understand that the interviewee, Republican Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina, was on TRUMP'S NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM as of October 2016.
2/ CBS notes that the Senate Intel Committee is entering its third year of a bipartisan Russia probe *despite* intense pressureparticularly from Burr's fellow Republicansto wrap up its work. That alone is telling: that the Senate majority on the Committee is resisting stopping.
3/ QUOTE #1: "[Burr] acknowledges now that the investigation is broader, and perhaps more consequential, than it has long been thought to be." So America doesn't realize how much troubling material the Senate has foundor how far-flung and important to our future the material is.

Just one tidbit:
"Burr implies that some witnesses (presumably U.S. witnesses) were so scared to testify before Congress that they *asked to be subpoenaed* so that they could represent (to what nefarious political or other forces we don't know) that they had no choice. What does that tell you?"
Burr may go down in history in the Howard Baker role regarding this earth shaking scandal.
