Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) wouldn’t speak about the subpoena itself, but defended the character of Burr in leading the Intelligence Committee. “I support his leadership and think that he has done a good job,” she said, the Washington Post reported.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida), another member of the committee, also defended Burr’s leadership, and questioned whether some of his colleagues understood that their work was different from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation that concluded earlier this year.
“Mueller is a criminal justice investigation. Ours is an intelligence investigation about the Russia threat and about the way our agencies performed,” Rubio explained.
Others, like Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Missouri), noted that the committee has called back other witnesses to appear before it for another round of questioning. “I think his brother-in-law [Jared Kushner] came in in a similar situation to be sure that every question was clearly understood and clearly answered, and I think he [Trump Jr.] should too,” Blunt said, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Rubio needs to drink more water, perhaps under a cloth.
I feel it has to do with Cohen’s testimony and the truthfulness of that testimony. We’ll see.
Moat of the Republican party in the House and Senate are made up of real sick jackasses.
The Rogues Gallery.
RINOs all. Blunt is in so much trouble at home for his dimbulb stunt screwing with Trump on the Wall, he might as well just hang it up.
By the way, all:
When have these Oh So Concerned Senators ever called Xavier Becerra, Alex Padilla, Kevin DeLeon, Anthony Rendon or Raul Grijalva to answer for their collusion with the Mexican government interfering in our elections?
These are all people who claim to be “Americans” yet they routinely confer with and do the bidding of the gangsters who run Mexico.
Instead they harass the President’s family over one meeting which turns out to have been an FBI set up anyway.
ALL of these “Senators” are traitors and need to be turned out NOW.
Like I’ve been saying for over a year.
At least 5 GOP-e Senators were actively involved or knew about the spying on Trump staff.
This is all about saving their jobs.
They could care less about Trump and Base.
Yes, that’s the point of the exercise. But squealing about it will only make it worse. These questioners are complete idiots, so their questions shouldn’t be too difficult to dissect and dismiss.
Do people still think that the GOP controlled Senate won’t Vote to Impeach POTUS Trump?
I agree. Don jr should just take the fifth then leave. Eff that bunch of RINOs!
Rubio is not a natural born citizen and is ineligible to be President.
His parents were foreign nationals when he was born.
Rubio is the last person who should have run as a Tea Party candidate. He’s still bitter about 2016.
Foam boy speaks
Where is mittens?
The speech that Junior gave last night on Tucker(?) goes a long way here. Open with it.
He should have been invited to appear with the purpose clearly laid out. The fact that a subpoena was issued indicates something more is afoot. I suspect this is Warner’s doing. He is very sinister and not to be trusted at all. He has a surprise up his sleeve.
This serves to bring out alll the “usual suspects” who are puking traitorous pieces of garbage where everyone can see their perfidy. Of what possible use would there be in giving a subpoena to Donald Trump Jr., except to take a pot shot at his father?
The usual anti-Trump suspects.
There is something wrong with giving in to sheer stupidity... there are no gains.. just bad chances, plus giving the idea they have any grounds. There comes a line, that one cannot pass. That line has been reached before today. Hate and destruction have taken over the dems... they are not fit to sit in congress.
Limbaugh said yesterday he was impressed about how calm PDJT was about this and said that surprises the RATs. Ok, point taken but it is high time for the President to show some righteous anger. Assuming Jr appears, he should be instructed to walk out the moment one smarmy remark is made. PDJT should then forbid any member of the Executive Branch from appearing before any Committee and declare that all proper oversight shall be conducted in writing. Take away their sound-bite factory. NO ONE should have to put up with that chit.
It was Rubio or his RAT opponent. It was a definite “hold my nose” vote to keep the Senate. A pity we cannot by law recall him.
These RINO's are serious traitors, even the ones who are just being mealy-mouthed.
Probably getting ready to run for President in key states, to split the vote so Trump loses to the Democrat nominee.
