Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced on Thursday that Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) will be stepping down from his position as Senate Intelligence Committee chair effective Friday, while investigators probe the enormous stock sales he made shortly before COVID-19 shattered the economy.
Bastard thought he could get away with pissing on the Dear Leaders shoes with the Russia hoax.
“No one could have predicted” is going to become “It was easy to predict - anyone could have predicted this. I had no special foreknowledge”
Now if only Moscow Mitch would resign.
Who takes over as chairman? The corruption from Trump & the DOJ is all out in the open.
Next up: new Intel Chair starts holding hearings to prove “Obamagate” and Flynn’s “persecution” and the Committee issues a new report undoing their old report that agreed with the intelligence community’s assessments about Russian interference in the 2016 election.
How veddy interesting that Senator Kelly Loeffler is getting no special attention for her questionable stock transactions…
Can’t remember if i read it here or on Twitter but, someone said this was the ultimate goal, get Burr removed as Chair and replaced with a Trump Toady. This is a show of power by Trump/Barr to keep GOP in line.
Not sure if that’s true but, it is interesting.
Well I think they’ve got Nunes warming up in the Bull pen - if past performance is any indication.
Some suitable boot-licking lackey.
Burr needs to step down further than this. He is part of the swamp he has decried and enables.
Just yanking the chain. Who’s on deck?
Burr’s not Evil enough.
don’t know, but here is a list of the other GOP Senators on the cmte…
Take a look at the other Republican members on the committee. Tom Cotton has got a raging hard-on right now.
Nunes is not a senator- can’t be him.
Nunes is in the House, but the GOP side of the Senate Intelligence Committee includes such notable scholars as Marco Rubio and Tom Cotton. Maybe they’ll give it to Susan Collins so she has a more prominent platform to express concern during election season.
She probably is. Her case is just going to be more complicated, sounds like she’s smarter about how to do insider trading without getting caught. Hubby does run the NYSE, after all.
And not a single one of them can be trusted not to politicize the committee to help Trump’s campaign.
Thankfully, he’s a Congressman and not a senator.
So, Cotton then…Almost as nauseating as Nunez.
So who will be the interim chair of the senate intel committee? Cornyn? Cotton? Devin Nunes?
