House Intelligence Republicans Boycott Briefing From FBI’s Russian Double Agent

Tim Mak04.05.17 10:40 PM ET

A House Intelligence Committee Democrat tried to reach across the aisle to reboot the committee’s stalled Russia investigation. Republicans met his gesture with total silence.

Republicans boycotted a Wednesday briefing on Russian intelligence methods organized by Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, who had hoped the committee’s members could gather in a bipartisan manner to hear non-controversial testimony from an expert.

Weeks ago, House Intelligence Committee staff and Swalwell reached out to a national-security specialist, Naveed Jamali. In the 2000s, Jamali was a double agent in the service of the FBI after the Russian government tried to recruit him as an asset.

Every single Republican lawmaker on the House Intelligence Committee was invited to the members-only briefing on Wednesday. Not one showed.

Ignorance is bliss. And plausible deniability.

1. There they go, playing politics again.

Can't let love of country or that pesky Oath of Office get in the way.

I wish I could have been there to listen and learn.

I watched the entire Senate Intelligence hearing last week. The testimony was fascinating, but it angered me and it scared me.

All those Republicans are a disgrace. Sad.

Now I'm agreeing with Joe McCarthy.

4. The House investigation is a farce.

This is a clear message: their minds are made up and close - nothing to see here. They will not impeach this man, damn any evidence.
GD Assholes.

5. Republicans are traitors.
