Rep. Trey Gowdy (S.C.) on Sunday accused Democrats of failing to help congressional Republicans investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Gowdy, the chairman of the powerful House Oversight Committee, said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday" that Democrats on the panel appear more interested in probing President Trump and his associates' ties to Moscow than uncovering how Russia sought to disrupt the 2016 race.

"They tried to attack the fundamentals of our democracy and that’s what I’ve spent 2017 focusing on," he said. "That to me is an American issue. I wish the Democrats a little bit more instead of reading the Moscow phonebook during the witnesses interviews trying to see if Jared Kushner knows a guy named Igor. I wish they’d help."

"That’s been my focus in 2017 is understanding that Russia tried to subvert our democracy, and it’d be great if my Democratic friends helped a little bit."

2. Disingenuous tool

Ridiculous to try to separate Russia meddling with the person who conspired with them.

But he did say “democratic” so there’s that.

7. The same con artist game Trump plays: blame others for the crimes you commit.

[LiberalLovinLug]

13. They've jumped to another level

They have used the "blame others for the crimes you commit" for years, decades, now. Because it works. At least on the Republican base. Or its cousin, - when confronted with crimes by someone in your party, deflect the question to bringing up the most similarly egregious sin from the past you can dig up done by a Democrat, and say "but but but....they did it too!"

But this week I heard Trump not just himself blame others for crimes he commits, but to then accuse Democrats of doing just that. That it is they that are accusing others for crimes they are committing. Double bizzaro. They are trying to create some kind of Mobeus ring that confuses their base, and it works because they are so willing to be gullible in order to convince themselves they are never wrong.
