Rep. Steve Knight (R-Calif.) on Tuesday called for a special prosecutor to take over the FBI's investigation into Russian election interference, joining a growing chorus demanding action on the probe.

Knight said in a statement that "conflicting information" from the various Russia investigations had obscured Americans' ability to determine the truth. The FBI and House and Senate Intelligence committees are all investigating Russian election meddling and ties between President Trump's campaign and the Kremlin.

“It is time for an investigation of Russia’s intervention in the U.S. Election. There is too much at stake at home and abroad to not take this step," he said.

Knight won reelection in California’s 25th District with 53 percent support in November, but Democrat Hillary Clinton defeated Trump in the district, 50 to 44 percent.

1. Democrats are looking to take 9 of 14 GOP districts in the state.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Expect some 20 or so Rethugs

to soon join the call. All in tough Districts.

4. When the RepubliCONs break there will be a tsunami rush for the exit.

They will say they were always against tRump, or that they thought he was a good man and they had no idea about anything.

[Wellstone ruled]

6. This next Election Cycle is ours to loose.

What is discussing is,we need these Democratic Candidates to get their individual Campaigns going now. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have made their calculations as to how they will preserve their Kingdoms.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. It's also ours to lose. . . . . . nt

3. More GOP will join him

some thinking moving the investigation to a side burner will muzzle it

Good luck with that. It is becoming increasingly clear what happened,
and that it will not stand.

5. I'm just hoping

the taint of this indelibly marks ass hole Nunes for dismissal at the ballot box. Enough of that shit stain riding high on special interests monies!

11. Thanks California

Just vote his behind out anyway, especially if he was for killing poor people by taking away their healthcare.
