House Intel Committee Republicans Boycott Hearing Due to Schiff’s Refusal to Address FISA Abuses
National Review ^ | 2/12/20 | MAIREAD MCARDLE

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee boycotted a hearing on Wednesday, complaining that the committee’s Democratic chairman Adam Schiff has neglected proper oversight of the intelligence community by failing to hold a hearing on the Justice Department inspector general’s report detailing the FBI’s FISA abuses.

“Under your chairmanship, the House Intelligence Committee has strayed far from its mandate of overseeing the Intelligence Community,” the panel’s nine GOP members wrote in a letter to Schiff obtained by the Daily Caller.

“Until the Committee prioritizes oversight activities related to urgent and critical concerns, Republican Members cannot support distractions from our core responsibilities,” they added.

The Republican representatives afterwards boycotted a hearing of the Strategic Technology and Advanced Research Subcommittee on the development of artificial intelligence for national security, criticizing the hearing as a “publicity event.”

Trump needs to burn down the House and the Senate. The only way were to get rid of this corruption by getting rid of career politicians that game the system and become incredibly corrupt. We also need to make it easier to fire the bureaucracy. The only way this is going to work is if all the corruption is exposed. All of it so the public gets so disgusted with Congress and the bureaucracy, they don’t dare not amend the Constitution to create term limits. It must be done.
