“A committee that has oversight of many of the issues involving Russia just voted three different times to look the other way,” one Democrat said.
WASHINGTON ― House Republicans really don’t want to investigate possible ties between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, his administration and Russian officials.
In a House Judiciary meeting where members voted on the committee’s plans for the year, Democrats offered an amendment that would have made oversight of any ongoing investigation into Trump’s alleged connections to the Russian government a priority.
Every single Republican voted against the measure. Democrats deployed the amendment as a symbolic vote, knowing full well Republicans wouldn’t support it.
Much More: House Republicans Refuse To Investigate Trump's Russia Ties. Senate Rolls Right Past Them.
Just another disappointment from House Republicans. I hope none of them call themselves American patriots. Who wouldn't want to investigate collusion with a hostile foreign government like Russia?
