House Democrats are expected to reopen the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election if they win the majority in November. But they would have to be selective in what they investigate.

California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence panel, has said his party would have to “ruthlessly prioritize the most important matters first.”

The Republican-led Intelligence Committee was the only House panel to investigate Russian meddling, and its investigation is now closed. Republicans say they found no evidence of collusion between Russia and President Donald Trump’s campaign.

Democrats say Republicans ignored key facts and important witnesses and want to restart parts of the investigation if they win the House. But some Democrats also worry that there could be a political cost if they overreach.

Schiff and other lawmakers say they are closely watching special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and the Senate’s Russia probe to look for gaps that they could fill. And if Mueller issues any findings, their investigative plans could change. …

When the hell did the stupid “russian collusion” investigation ever end? Two plus years running.

ruthlessly prioritize the most important matters first

In other words, avoid the real collusion between hillary, dnc, fbi, doj, and other foreign actors.

If the Dems do take the House, we might be better off if they waste their time on the Russia investigation.

The dem mob is too angry to do anything useful if they are put back into power. They are consumed with rage over Trump. They hate this country and will use all their time trying to impeach Trump and Kavanaugh.

They are unfit to govern. Their anger has replaced all their reason.

Vote in November to keep the democrat mob from power.

They could do that. I suspect that if the Dems win the house that a special council will be appointed to take over the work of the House committees looking into the FBI, DOJ, FISA and the intelligence community.
