Sen. Mark Warner, the senior Democrat on the committee, issued this statement: "The administration insists there's no 'there there,' yet President Trump has so far fired the acting Attorney General, nearly every U.S. attorney, and now the Director of the FBI. In addition, this President's choice for Attorney General has been forced to recuse himself, and the National Security Advisor has resigned, as a result of undisclosed contacts with Russian officials. Now more than ever, it is vital that our ongoing investigation is completed in a credible and bipartisan way. We also need to hear directly from former Director Comey about the FBI investigation and related events."

Hopefully this is a bridge too far for more non totally Trumpian Republicans.

(48,999 posts)Comey was investigating tRump "associates" for Russian connections. That would include Sessions who perjured himself to Congress about meeting Russian Ambassador, twice.
So now, Sessions recommended firing Comey and tRump said "OK".

I don't think any Republican is going to move on the investigation like an independent would, if only because THEY ARE WAITING FOR THEIR BIG TAX CUTS. They are not going to kill the golden goose, or interfere with his power, until they get their tax cuts.
Unless, and this is a big IF, they line up Pence to replace Trump and make sure Pence is on board with the tax cuts.

My senator. You go, Mark.
