Republican Rep. Tom Rooney is calling for an end to the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into possible collusion in Russia's 2016 election meddling, arguing that its only purpose is to drive the media narrative for Democrats.
Rooney, a member of the committee, slammed his Democratic colleagues for leaking former White House communications director Hope Hicks' testimony, where she admitted to telling white lies for President Donald Trump.
"That's why tonight I've asked our Chairman (Mike) Conaway that we need to end this investigation," he told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront." "It's been going on for a year. We've interviewed scores of witnesses and now we've gotten to the point now where we're literally bringing people in for nine hours just so the Democrats can leak to the press something as ridiculous as 'white lies.' "
The Florida Republican added that when pressed, Hicks said she never lied about anything substantive, like the Russia investigation.
Rooney said he believes her testimony "may have played a role" in Hicks' resignation Wednesday, "but I'm not sure it was a determining factor."

I believe Demonrat badgering led to her decision to leave.
Yup.
She probably told herself “I don’t need to put up with this nonsense.” Or words to that effect.
CNN is Fake News.
I'm sure there will be pictures in a day or so.
Lucky guy.
“No....she wants to be with Rob....and she can’t do it while she’s still at the Whitehouse.”
She’d better hope Rob doesn’t play “batter up” with her.
Just saw a WaPo headline.
claims Mueller is now investigating Trumps threats to fire Sessions
.she wants to be with Rob..
“claims Mueller is now investigating Trumps threats to fire Sessions”
Yeah, from LAST SUMMER!
Makes no sense since Sessions recused himself. Absolutely no bearing on the investigation at all.
Yea, ‘nonsense ‘ would not have been my first choice.
The Swamp is working 24/7 to do several things.
One of them is to isolate the president to the greatest possible extent from anyone loyal to him.
Another is to impede his direct control of important bureaucracies as much as possible, especially the DOJ and FBI.
They have two major objectives:
1 - Destroy the Trump presidency directly or indirectly.
2 - Protect Hillary and Obama and their criminal associates and in so doing they also protect the system and the deep state.
Which he has the authority and power to do.
As well as a perfect right to do it.
you’re about 3 months late on that one...they expected Trump to fire muleler (purposely misspelled) by Christmas and had protests planned...
No....she wants to be with Rob....and she can’t do it while she’s still at the Whitehouse.
I’m sure there will be pictures in a day or so.
Likely. Men aren’t the only gender who think with the “other” parts.
He didn’t threaten to fire Sessions.
But if he waits, Rosenstein will be indicted. That’ll be fun.
That and the expensive lawyer fees. She may not have been able to afford her position.
The swamp has made it illegal to win against them.
