...Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee announced they’d concluded their investigation into Russia’s election interference and potential coordination with the Trump campaign. And just hours later, Republican Rep. Tom Rooney, a member of the committee, admitted that they had “lost all credibility.”

CNN’s Erin Burnett asked Rooney why Republicans had shut down their investigation before interviewing key persons. That potential interview list includes four Trump associates currently under indictment by special counsel Robert Mueller.

“The Senate hasn’t ended theirs, Bob Mueller hasn’t ended [his] — why are you all ending it?” Burnett asked.

1. Like they had any before

This Nunes led sh*tshow has been a running joke for months now. Nunes ran to the WH w/ info, the dueling "memos". This investigation outside of Mueller has been a joke from day 1. The GOP in this country has absolutely ZERO interest in getting to the bottom of it, b/c they all know something is there. How else does the Intel committee spend so much of its time attempting to debunk the FBI investigation? I thought it was bad enough when Trump won, but we have half the country now that cares more about self preservation than it does the country and its values.

3. Trump is creating a lot of negative press for the GOP

So the Republican intel committee creates some good news and Trump announces it in screaming tweets - probably in hopes that it will make a difference in the Pennsylvania election tomorrow.
