Get ready for another presidential tweet-storm from the presidential President-elect when he finds out that the Senate Intelligence Committee has changed their mind, and they’re going to be looking into his love letters to Vladdy Putin:
Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said late Friday that his committee would investigate possible contacts between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia, reversing himself one day after telling reporters that the issue would be outside of his panel’s ongoing probe into Moscow’s election-disruption efforts.
In a statement issued jointly with the committee’s top Democrat, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, Burr said the committee would use “subpoenas if necessary” to secure testimony from Obama administration officials as well as Trump’s team on Russia’s cyberattacks and on other efforts at election meddling.
Wow.
I’m not sure what the point of this is, because the presidential President-elect already tweeted presidentially that he will have his staff perform their OWN investigation and put out a report on the Russian cyberhacking in 90 days. I’m sure his crack team of geniuses like Boris Epshteyn, Scottie Nell Hughes, Mike Cohen and Katrina Pierson will come to a reasonable, rational, and well-substantiated report. Right?
