The ongoing investigation is by the Special Counsel which is totally seperate of the Committee. This is the Senate Intelligence Committee who has oversight responsibilities. They simply refused to answer the questions. This confirmed that this is a COVER UP based on partisanship. I think they should be held in contempt of congress.

If there is any integrity left in Congress at all the real truth will come out and I suspect it will be the downfall of Trump and hopefully the GOP for a long time. It can't come soon enough for me. Although I think Pence is not much better but maybe not a mental case. Although I worry what Jesus might tell him to do.

They are republicans first SHRED Jun 2017 #1
