Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas, offered the strongest rebuke of President Trump’s efforts to obtain a Ukrainian investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden of any member of his party on the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, but stopped short of calling them “bribery or extortion,” or of supporting Trump’s impeachment.
Hurd, a moderate Republican who has announced his retirement from Congress, has often clashed with Trump on a variety of issues and last month assailed the president for calling on China to investigate Biden and his son Hunter. But his remarks on Thursday were notable in that he had previously kept such differences with Trump out of view as he questioned witnesses during the impeachment inquiry.
“Throughout this process I have said that I want to learn the facts, so that we can get to the truth. So why are we here? Because of two things that occurred during the president’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. The use of the phrase ‘do us a favor, though’ in reference to the 2016 presidential election, and the mention of the word ‘Biden,’” Hurd began.
“I believe both statements were inappropriate, misguided foreign policy, and it is certainly not how the executive, current or in the future, should handle such a call. Over the course of these hearings, the American people have learned about a series of events that in my view have undermined our national security and undercut Ukraine, a key partner on the frontlines against Russian aggression,” he said. “We’ve heard of U.S. officials carrying uncoordinated, confusing and conflicting messages that created doubt and uncertainty in Kyiv at a time when a new reformist administration has just taken office and was ready to fight corruption and work with us on other U.S. objectives..."

Rep. Will HurdTurd, #NeverTrumper RINO -Texas,
Get someone to Read the Transcripts to you , you moron
No hat, no saddle, no horse...
Just a little 40" stick with a padded glob at one end looking something like a horse head drawn by a five year old.
Jumping up and down for effect, he approached the microphone and turned into a tulip.
Any politician who is upset with Trump its safe to assume they have used their influence to get their dopey kids cushy jobs at some company.
He is retiring.
He is retiring.
Dems have something on him ?
So Hurd is ok with theft and public corruption???
Well, that's good news...
[[[Hurd, a moderate Republican who has announced his retirement from Congress,]]]
Of course. Another RINO sh**head.
A “MODERATE “ is just a liberal that’s lying!
MAGA
El Paso ...Senor Hurd
Well I hope some Texans give this man a call.
When elected types do not want Kerry’s and Biden’s theft of our tax $’s they are thieves also.
Hurd, you lame ass SOB. Good riddance.
He was with cia for spell.
Wonder if during his tour he converted to muslim or tilts that way?

Hurd worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for nine years from 2000 to 2009, stationed primarily in Washington, D.C., including a tour of duty as an operations officer in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.[11][10] He speaks Urdu,[12] the national language and lingua franca of Pakistan, where he worked undercover.[12] One of his roles at the CIA was briefing members of Congress, which is what made Hurd want to pursue politics.[13] He returned to Texas after his CIA service and worked as a partner with Crumpton Group LLC, a strategic advisory firm, and as a senior adviser with FusionX, a cybersecurity firm.[10]
He probably has one hand in the Ukraine cookie jar.
Turd, like so many of his comrades, is likely up to his eyeballs in corruption as well. The ones making the loudest noises usually are.
Did he raise any objections when Obama bypassed Congress and sent $1.7B in US taxpayer dollars in pallets to Iran? Somehow I doubt it.
They would be misguided if they weren’t investigating an actual potential crime you DNC plant.
