Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said late Friday that his committee will 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.
Burr and the intelligence panel’s top Democrat, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, said in a joint statement that the committee's probe would touch on "intelligence regarding links between Russia and individuals associated with political campaigns" as well as Russian cyberattacks and other election meddling outlined in an intelligence report released last week.
The committee will use “subpoenas if necessary” to secure testimony from Obama administration officials as well as Trump’s team, Burr and Warner said.
The bipartisan Senate announcement came hours after several House Democrats aired their frustrations with FBI Director James Comey following a classified briefing on Russian election disruption. The Democrats were livid that Comey refused to confirm whether he is conducting an inquiry into potential Trump ties to Russia — a question that he publicly declined to answer earlier this week.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood go uninvestigated.
But Pizzagate, and witness murders, will
be tolerated and ENCOURAGED — as usual by the corrupt.
This $hit show is hard to watch.
It begins. And, on cue, Republican “compromise”.
Intelligence Committee will investigate possible Russia-Trump links
_____________________________________________________________
Members of the Intel Committee continue to motivate questions of both their competence and their psychological connection to reality.
Or
Intelligence Committee proves, yet again, that its members are as stupid as we thought they were.
There. Fixed it. With option.
Senators are such whores. Addicted to TV cameras.
Looks like they will keep digging until they find something plausible.
Why? Isn’t the government already wasting a lot of taxpayer dollars? Besides, politicians now understand that the fastest way to shut these buffoons up is take the Fifth and go home. If it works for the ‘RATS, it should work for everybody else.
Yup. They will stab their fellow Republicans in the back so that the Media will say nice things about them.
Don’t be so sure. The ‘investigation’ will show nothing. Then the fabricated issue can be laid to rest.
This will get very ugly for CNN and John “ North Vietnam songbird” McCain!!h
The picture on the left is the younger Boston marathon bomber showing the Allah ONE hand signal.
The picture on the right is the Ft. Lauderdale shooter showing the Allah ONE hand signal.
Hussein Obama in front of Muslims shows the same hand signal. DO NOT infer that this has anything to do with ties to the Muslim brotherhood or Allah. It's just how he held his hand. /sarc
There is a group on Facebook that is wanting to start a recall petition to oust McCain.
This sounds like the uniparty preparing to move against Trump.
I disagree. All the Democrats need to show is that someone from the Trump campaign talked to someone with links to Russian government. Even worse so if it happened on a semi-regular basis. That is a pretty low threshold.
What was actually said or not said is irrelevant — they will scream bloody murder and call for impeachment. Then McLame and Linseed will be out in front of the camera calling for Trump to resign or be impeached.
Yes it does. Bastards.
7 more days until Trump (with us solidly behind him) can tell these jerks to STUFF IT!
They’d rather let America go down the tubes than give up their obsolete Cold War Deep State and its globalist apparatus.
Traitors all.
What a travesty - the gang of 8 is going to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia? Try to frame up some more lies to give them some excuse to portray him as a Russian puppet?
Meanwhile Podesta and Clinton are owned by China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.
Prayers up for DJT. Pray that these people’s devious plans are once again foiled.
