Do you think the Intelligence Committees are "twiddling their thumbs" with their investigations?

Do you get the feeling they are only killing time in hopes that all these questions about "scandal" and "collusion" will disappear from the peoples consciousness?

Are they really putting their best efforts into these investigations?

Or do you believe that it just takes time and eventually they will discover the facts?

Maybe they are deferring to Mueller?

With republicans at the helm, it does seem like these investigations are in slow motion. They take way too many days off, IMO.

But they are probably taking vacations with the family during the summer, if they are like most other well to do families.

I'm much more interested in what Mueller is up to. He has assembled a very, very impressive team. I'm confident the FBI, CIA and foreign intel agencies want to get to the bottom Russian meddling. I wonder how much info we want the intel committees to have. What's the possibility that a member would share info with Twittler? On top of that compromising the investigation Twittler has already proven he can't keep his big mouth shut.

Uncovered evidence wise.

Which, in and of itself, should inspire a certain degree of reassurance that Mueller's team is conducting the most important investigation...
not the house/senate.
