Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) said Sunday the House Intelligence Committee was not tasked with investigating collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, despite the committee issuing a report last week stating it found no evidence of collusion in the 2016 election.

“Our committee was not charged with answering the collusion idea,” Conaway said on NBC's “Meet The Press.”

"So we really weren’t focused on that direction."

Conaway led the committee’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election after the committee's chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes, (R-Calif.) recused himself.

Dishonest Don and lying Nunes ensnared in another lie.

1. They were afraid of what they'd find, so they didn't look.

[DonaldsRump]

5. Amen

That's exactly what "smart" Repubs were trying to do - not find information.

Thankfully, for the good of the nation, that's not working anymore.

2. Seek not and ye shall find not

3. Why did Nunes recuse himself?

Was it because he has rooskie investors in his winery? Hmm?

11. Lol the most accurate answer is, he didnt :)

Gonna look good in stripes, Devvie.

4. Useful idiots and their useless investigations

[LiberalLovinLug]

6. So all that time and money was spent to investigate what exactly?

If they were adamant that Trump's business dealings were not on the table to investigate
And they were not investigating collusion
And all the intelligence agencies conclusion that there was Russian interference has been mostly agreed to by House Republicans, so there is no verdict to reach on that question....

....then what was their pretense for an investigation in the first place?

7. "We found no evidence of collusion BECAUSE WE WEREN'T LOOKING FOR IT"

Without the second part of that sentence, the first part is just a lie.

8. They also found no evidence of secret Nazi military bases on the moon.....just because.

[SeattleVet]

9. Of *course* they found no evidence...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. The RepubliCons explicitly prevented the committee from FOLLOWING THE MONEY

Obviously because they knew where it would lead: to RepubliCONMEN.

12. Sort of Like Announcing That I Did Not Find a Lost Dog...

...even though I never made an effort to find the dog in the first place.

13. Smell the fear. Conaway's lawyer must have told him the House report makes open to being

changed as part of a conspiracy.

14. But it's hard work

Especially when the Republicans on the panel have their collective heads up their asses.
