Richard Burr ran a fairly bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee with Mark Warner

They put out multiple reports that honestly described Russia's interference in the 2016 election and more.

The third of five volumes on Russian interference was released just last month, a summary of which can be found here:

Now, why do you think Rebootlickans are so vocally focused in on one of their own (while ignoring others in their party who are equally criminal)?

That said, it looks crooked. They all look crooked.

But he should get a chance to explain, as should DiFi and the rest.

But it's convenient that Trump would call for his resignation- and no one else's. He hasn't liked Burr working in the Senate Intelligence Committee as he has for years now.

And that's just one of the more recent attacks/investigations on Trump and/or Russia by the SIC.

It’s likely a smear job. Trump promised his job to someone in the Senate who sold their soul to him.
