Washington (CNN)Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina is stepping aside as chairman of the influential Senate Intelligence Committee while he's under investigation for stock trades he made ahead of the market downturn sparked by the coronavirus pandemic. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement Thursday that Burr "contacted me this morning to inform me of his decision to step aside as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee during the pendency of the investigation." He said Burr's resignation as chairman will be effective at the end of the day on Friday.

Burr is not the only one on that committee who needs to step down.

No big deal as Mark Warner (D) really runs the committee.

Under the cover of the “stock trades” they have Burr’s phone icloud call data... all the way back (including without question texting between him and Warner, and calls possibly.
Could very well be this— good observation. Because the real a@@ in this coup was linked like velcro at the hip to the House Chair— Crazy Schiff and both of them faked out by “russian agent” comedians... set them both up. Warner got his seat from Chi-Com Diane Feinstein 20 years a chinese agent as her chauffeur and staffer.. when she was chair and co chair and part of the 8 high security level Gang who have the clearance (many of whom should not— and if this uncovers the collusion of Schiff, Warner and Pelosi, oh and Schumer also-— that would be huge!)

Do senators sit in alphabetical order or something?

On a night when some of us are very down because of Farmer Dean’s condition, you made me laugh out loud.
All of the prayer posts were great and welcome.
Your post put a smile on my face.
thanks

Interesting that they took Burr's phone, but Loefller and Swinesteen were simply allowed to send documents.
I think the FBI grabbed Burr's phone because he was head of Senate Intel, and the FBI got a 2fer by 'sending a message' to Linda Graham about opening hearings on Obama, and I don't mean a text message...

We are in uncharted territory so it is impossible to even analyze what is going on. We know longer know for sure who the good guys are. What we do know is that President Trump sees much more then we do, and he seems to have the ability to connect dots we dont even know exist, and the ability to push the right button at the right time. Two years ago no one even knew how to spell COUP DETAT now it is out in the open (even if the mainstream press is not covering it). President Trump is peeling the onion exposing the treason slowly. The Democrats (and the media) do not know just how much the administration knows and that makes it difficult to get their stories straight. Notice how they keep falling back on RUSSIAN COLLUSION. I am content to let the President play his hand anyway he wants to.
Partner, you are exactly right and our Gov'mint is so dog one corrupt right now that you can not trust any folks that work for the Gov'mint of the USA. Also, you can not trust a single DemonRat or Rino for that matter.

Did they say he agrees with the “17 intelligence agencies” that Trump colluded? Did I read he has not wrapped up the Senate Intelligence committee investigation into Russian meddling, what?
