I've occasionally speculated that Senator Richard Burr might secretly be one of the good guys, despite some ups and downs. Mark Warner has said good things about him. And Burr has mostly kept his mouth shut and not allowed himself to be used as a mouthpiece by Trump. Just a thought.

I know Rubio is the chairman now, but Burr was for most of Trump's administration, wasn't he?

EDIT: Ben Sasse is also on that committee. What I mean to suggest is that the timing could be intentional to help us, and that some of the Rs on the committee might be okay with this.

I also read from someone (not sure which one) that Burr also doesn't sign on to the R's conclusions either.

But then again, their conclusion was "nothing to see here, move along"

They want it to be the "October Surprise".

Trump wants them to emphasize that there was no "collusion". Although, there really was.

Who knows what is going to be in the "Durham Report"?
