Days after Republican Congressman Darrell Issa broke with GOP leadership and called for a special prosecutor to investigate ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, he voted against an effort by House Democrats to pressure the U.S. Department of Justice to turn over information to Congress on any criminal or counterintelligence investigations into Trump and his campaign or administration associates.
<snip>
In blocking the House resolution, Republicans are complicit in obstructing the release of information, spokesman Daniel Schwarz said on behalf of Nadler.
Yesterday was the first time there has actually been a vote in Congress on these issues, which is significant because Republicans have been blocking these inquiries, Schwarz said. There is going to be a lot more pressure brought on Republicans now. These members are now on the record that they did not want to get the information about Russia ties from the Department of Justice.
While a broad investigation is underway, U.S. intelligence officials have said clearly that Russia interfered in the U.S. presidential election... - Sacramento Bee
There is another term for this. It's called a cover up.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
It only gets worse from here going forward. Republicans have drawn their line in the sand and they stand with tRump and his Russian allies.

And here he is, shamelessly backtracking.
Absolute total pond scum.

Then he goes back to DC and does the opposite.
He's basically a coward.
