Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Friday that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) should force members of his caucus to call off hearings and business meetings scheduled next week as part of GOP investigations tied to the Obama administration.
Schumer, in a letter sent to Senate Democrats, said Republicans have become the "conspiracy caucus."
"The Republican-led Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees — two powerful committees with broad jurisdiction over issues related to the coronavirus — have instead used their majority to chase wild conspiracy theories to appease President Trump," Schumer wrote.
"They have failed the American people by turning the institutions of the Senate into an extension of the President’s re-election campaign. ... [The] Republican Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold yet another hearing, not on the pandemic, but on baseless conspiracy theories related to the 2016 election. Leader McConnell should instruct these committees to cancel these conspiracy hearings," Schumer added.
Schumer's letter to Senate Democrats comes as Republicans are ramping up their controversial investigations into Crossfire Hurricane, the name of the FBI's investigation of Russian election interference and the Trump campaign.
Both Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) — the chairmen of the Judiciary and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees, respectively — are scheduled to hold subpoena votes next week.

Why does Schumer believe this investigation will get Trump re-elected?
What did Chuck know way back when?
“”Harder to address, though, is the other half of the story—something Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer spoke of in glee, in response to then-president-elect Trump’s criticism of U.S. intelligence agencies. “Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s host Rachel Maddow.
Schumer wasn’t alone in warning of U.S. intelligence agencies’ penchant for politicized revenge. A little over a week later, Daniel Benjamin, who had served as the principal counterterrorism advisor for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, scripted the scenario for Politico Magazine, writing:
Leakers and whistleblowers won’t hesitate. What [former Deputy CIA Director] Morell and other intelligence veterans are too decorous to mention is that Trump’s treatment of his spies will also come back to bite him in the form of leaking and whistleblowing. The intelligence community doesn’t leak as much as the Pentagon or Congress, but when its reputation is at stake, it can do so to devastating effect.””
Is Schumer really that stupid?
He has been part of the biggest conspiracy scam witch hunt in the history of this country.
Or does he think we are that stupid?
Or is he such an egotistical ass, so blinded by his own feelings of superiority that he can’t see the real world as it is?
If you truly love this country and want it healed of the internal rot & strife we see in so many areas of our national life, PLEASE spend 5 minutes (300 seconds) watching this POWERFUL message.
If it impacts you as it impacted me, PLEASE SHARE IT WIDELY.

Interesting...even with Linda running the show, Chucky seems worried.
“Or is he such an egotistical ass, so blinded by his own feelings of superiority that he can’t see the real world as it is?”
Dunning-Kruger syndrome.
This IDIOT is kidding, right?
But turning America’s entire intelligence and justice operations into an arm of the democratic party is perfectly OK. Is that how it’s supposed go Suckie?
Apparently four years of conspiracy investigations is the limit. B
Scared, Upchuck?
This is rich, coming from the “impeachment caucus”.
They are conspiracy fact. We already know that from the documents released...many times over.
Karl Marx allegedly said: “Accuse Your Enemy Of What You Are Doing, As You Are Doing It To Create Confusion”
The Democrats are masters at that.
Me to Schumer: No. Suck it.
and the writer chips in:
“Schumer’s letter to Senate Democrats comes as Republicans are ramping up their controversial investigations into Crossfire Hurricane, the name of the FBI’s investigation of Russian election interference and the Trump campaign”
CONTROVERSIAL?
“Crossfire Hurricane, the name of the FBI’s investigation of Russian election interference and the Trump campaign”
CROSSFIRE HURRICANE, THE NAME OF THE FBI’S FAKE INVESTIGATION OF FAKE RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, WHEN THEY KNEW IT WAS BASED ON A HILLARY CLINTON/DNC DOSSIER.
Gee, I wonder why Chuck wouldn’t want these hearings to go forward?
This must have gotten quite a laugh out of the GOP Senators when they read it.
They deserve to dangle at the end of a rope.
imagine being in the shoes of any democrat......
Joe biden is your presumptive nominee. You have fought hard to insure Biden beat bernie so you can slip your candidate of choice by pointing out his obvious mental condition. The last thing you need, this late in the game, is a real investigation to politically and financially drain your defeat trump fantasy.
imagine everyone you would rather have, instead of joe, being politically destroyed. It’s all but certain, your candidate will be a man who can’t remember where he is, but really loves smelling your hair.
On our side,
I urge continued prayer for Trump’s health because Pence aint Trump.
Speaking of which, Putz...you'll recall that at the start of PT's administration that he shouldn't criticize the intelligence community. You said they have "six ways from Sunday" at getting back at him. The President.
And it appears they did. We'd like to question you about the conspiracy to deprive the US of its duly elected President. It's a serious matter. It's only fair that you be given the chance to prove your innocence. That is the standard in such matters, isn't it?
After all, you don't mind investigations, right? PT has spent the last three years under investigation, and the Senate voted on impeachment.
We just need to find the truth. You've been insisting just that for the last three years.
