Looks like 1/4 to 1/3 of the R's on HPSCI committee now backpedaling conclusions

[MelissaB]

Minus Nunes (who's nominally recused), there are 12 Rs on HPSCI. 3 have outright disavowed their original presentation of their conclusions. 1 doesn't seem excited about it. Depending how you count it, that's 1/4 to 1/3 of the committee's majority that is now backpedaling.

1. Some details

Gowdy
UPDATE: A source familiar with Gowdy's thinking tells me he DISAGREES with the suggestion that the Russia didn't have a preference for Trump.

"In a two person race, wishing one candidate will lose is the same as hoping the other candidate prevails."

Conway
Rep. Michael Conaway, heading the HPSCI Trump/Russia probe, said their report actually leaves open the possibility that Russia wanted Trump to win

Rep. Mike Conaway also says he misspoke when he told reporters at least twice Monday that he believed Russia actually tried to HELP Clinton. "Nothing that they did remotely helped Hillary Clinton."

2. Who Fucking Cares

They're all fucking TRAITORS, and the only thing that will work is voting them out of office. It won't be easy, but there is no other way to stop them.

5. Did The Full Committee Get A Chance To Read This Report Before It Was Released?....

How about just the Repugs on the committee - did they get a chance to read it before it was released?

It was probably written by Nunes with the help of the WH and just issued.

6. I thought I read somewhere that it was released

Prior to the Minority being able to read it i.e they just left Dems out of the report process. Full Frontal Partisanship.

7. Committee is 13-9

Nunes shouldn't even have a vote. That is 12-9. Only two defections and you would vote down the report? Should call for a revote. Raise holy hell with any member walking away from report, but refusing to vote it down. This is a question that reporters should be asking (along with every time a GOP Senator complains about Trump or the majority why they do not just caucus with the Democrats.
