Schumer to GOP: Cancel 'conspiracy hearings' on origins of Russia probe
The Hill ^ | 05 29 2020 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 05/29/2020 9:13:41 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

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.

This disgusting piece of shit has had his ugly face in front of cameras for three years trying to overthrow the Presidency, and he wants investigations shut down.

I wish, and hope this schmuck meets an MS13 gang on the way home some night.

“The Democrats are terrified. Much of this insurrection may be an attempt to shut Congress down and prevent the hearings.”

I disagree. The public is bored, bored, bored with impeachment, collusion, FBI misconduct, etc.

Comey, Clapper, Rice, Strozk, Page, et al need to go to jail. But the public show part of it will be counterproductive or at best, ignored by all in the public except us.

You are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

If you think that my disgust for the corruption that has taken place is diminished, you are nuts.

I want JUSTICE, JUSTICE, JUSTICE.

And I will do what I can to encourage more like thinking.

Schumer should have cancelled the Russian hoax witch hunt. Karma is a harsh taskmaster.

... because Pence aint Trump.
******************************
BUT, Pence has done a very good job at all of the tasks he’s been given and has learned a lot from Trump.

He may not be as outgoing or brash as Trump, but he could be a good POTUS. Better than any Dem!

Sen Schumer has nothing to fear. The hearings are a mere Q & A. Nothing will come of it.
