Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) was criticized by Republican colleagues and demeaned by the President on Thursday.
But he remains committed to bringing the President’s son in for further questioning before the committee, Politico reported.
Burr reportedly has no intention of withdrawing the subpoena, which requests that Donald Trump Jr. appear before the Intelligence Committee to testify over statements he previously made to the committee, Republican senators told Politico. Democrats on the committee have been calling for Trump Jr. to appear to discuss how his past statements line up with the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.
Burr declined to speak with reporters on Thursday as his Republican colleagues piled on him for not heeding Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s calls to let the Russia probe go.
I’d like to think, as his Committee has investigated the Russian interference, Burr is actually looking to see some accountability for being receptive to Foreign influence…even if only a public flogging vs a prosecution.
Now that you found this , please tell your fellow Republicans where to find theirs
Wasn’t Burr one of the few senators mentioned in the Mueller report (leaking info to Team Trump)? Seeking atonement?
Who does he think he is… this Burr fellow? What is he trying to do… actually honoring of his OATH?
Damn it! Is this another case of principles getting in the way of politics? Damn it!
Burr’s game here is difficult to divine, but I struggle to believe he’s on the up and up as to his intentions and goals.
