The Senate Intelligence Committee has sent a bipartisan letter to the Justice Department asking federal prosecutors to investigate Stephen K. Bannon, a former Trump confidante, for potentially lying to lawmakers during its investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The letter, a copy of which was reviewed by The Times, was signed by the panel’s then-chairman, Republican Sen. Richard M. Burr, and its ranking Democrat, Sen. Mark Warner.

I want the GOP to lose Senate control this November. If the Senate is going to act like it’s run by Dems, then real Dems need to be in charge and be accountable.
Meanwhile, we need to go about nominating Trump-friendly Republicans so when GOP again gets a majority, it will serve the people, not the entrenched bureaucracy and the Left-Media complex
By the way, what does the FBI and CIA have on Chairman Burr? He is serving their corrupt interests IMO. Is he the guy who made some great stock trades before the pandemic hit?
Sorry, can’t go with the Dems taking over the Senate, specifically because the Senate confirms Judges and Supreme Court Judges.
Your premise is deeply flawed! If the Democrats were to gain control of the Senate, exactly WHO would keep them “accountable”?!! That’s just stupid talk.
Kiss a chance at flipping the courts goodbye if the Dems get Senate control.
Burr has always been a Chamber if Commerce Open Borders political hack. RINO doesn’t describe him vile enough.
Can someone tell me WHY any enemy of the U.S. would prefer dealing with President Trump than with Hitlery? Or Biden? Or Commala?
Makes no f’in sense on any level!
That is the most stupid comment I have ever read on this forum in at least 20 years.
“I want the GOP to lose Senate control this November.”
Sure, that will work out JUST GREAT for the country.
Every election we hear that old line about letting the Republicans lose and THEN people will supposedly wake up. No thanks! If we lose, we will lose forever!
Wipe out the GOPE in primaries—not the dang general election. Trump can sway squishy Republicans most of the time, because they reapons to flattery and bribes.
To understand what is going on you need to follow the money. Steve Bannon is public enemy #1 to the CCP in the world. This is because he has joined with Miles Guo to broadcast the truth into China using Guo’s TV empire. This is why Bannon is a hero to the Chinese free people but a feared enemy of the CCP.
Any pressure to silence Steve Bannon whether from Republican or Democrat collaborators is ultimately tied to the CCP and Wall Street slave labor company lobbyists.
Sorry, can’t go with the Dems taking over the Senate
They already run it. Or, rather , Republicans who do their bidding are technically in charge. Those Republicans need to lose, starting with Mitch and Lindsey. I’d say Burr, too, but he’s not running again I’ve heard
As for the judges, Trump can keep nominating conservatives and leave the spots open if they don’t get confirmed. When Ginsburg passes, the court will shift toward conservative if her space isn’t filled
The letter was sent in July 2019. Over a year ago. Obviously it went into the round file, and just now leaked to the press just before the election.
I agree.
we can’t afford Democrat control of the Senate.
As this committee vote shows, Dems already are in charge. I just want to make it official
As for judges, leave the spots open when senior liberal judges die off By and large, They’re the oldest on the bench, dating from Bill Clinton time.
“ The letter was sent in July 2019. ”
Good point. As Bill Clinton’s defenders used to say, “This is old news, let’s move along”
I swear the average IQ on this website has dropped by at least 20 points since I signed up in 2000.
We have a top FBI lawyer about to plead guilty of falsifying documents in the Russia investigation, so the media dredge up this old story.
