Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chair Ron Johnson blamed fellow Republicans on his committee Wednesday for blocking him from subpoenaing former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan and other figures involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and its contacts with Russia.

“We had a number of my committee members that were highly concerned about how this looks politically,” the Wisconsin GOP senator told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, who pressed Johnson to identify Republicans standing in the way of a wave of high-profile subpoenas.

GMTA. Exactly what I was thinking. No way anyone else on that list would block the subpoena's.

During the interview, Johnson was hemming and hawing and stammering like he was tongue-tied. His committee is a failure and will not be producing any results. That was clear. Any progress depends on Durham now, Senate oversight is a Pathetic joke. Nothing will come from the Senate on this issue and it will be due to republican corruption.

The Obamaphone Lady was so very right: “Romney? He sucks. Bad.” She’s better than many of the consultants who make a living at it.

Wow. Did these same “republicans” worry about how using the FBI to spy on a candidate and then the President would look politically?
