A House Republican is calling for an inquiry into House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio), saying his vague call to declassify a national security threat was done with “reckless disregard.”
Turner on Wednesday called on President Biden to declassify intelligence on a “serious national security threat,” writing that it was needed “so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat.”
But Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) on Thursday accused Turner of having ulterior motives, citing the battle over both funding for Ukraine and a bill to reauthorize the nation’s warrantless spy powers — each of which has raised some Republican opposition.
“This revelation by the chairman was done with a reckless disregard of the implications and consequences said information would have on geopolitics, domestic and foreign markets, and the well-being and psyche of the American people,” Ogles wrote in a letter first reported by Punchbowl.
“In hindsight, it has become clear that the intent was not to ensure the safety of our homeland and the American people, but rather to ensure additional funding for Ukraine and passage of an unreformed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA.) This act constituted poor judgment at a minimum and a complete breach of trust influenced by the pursuit of a political agenda at the maximum.”

I don't care if he is the last Republican in Congress, he must be removed.
Speaker Johnson know about this in advance? None of Pelosi’s minions would do this without a wink and a nod.
It was all a ploy to get the Ukraine funding passed.
Yep!
The Rats never stop pushing
I am sorry.
Explain what Turner did that is the problem.
TYIA

Scoundrels all who support the Senate bill.
You should read the article, it tells you.
Andy Ogles another RINO Deep Stater IMHO.
Tennessee RINO needs to go.
The article explains it quite fully. And the House member is correct.
Maybe he is, but in this case he is right about Turner and the brouhaha he created using the media to stir up fear porn.
I may have been hasty in my drama here Turner being the Chairman in Leadership does the dirty work of the ruling elite one would think.
Turner has always been a neocon. People like that, especially in the times we live in now, are not on our side at all. Look how Turner helps Joe Biden at our expense.
The care about Ukraine and their own pockets. All we are to them is the entity they rob to enrich themselves and their interests.
I guess I am too dumb to get the problem
but thanks
I started out in my political experiences a fool now I realize this is about money and the higher up you are like Committee Chair or Speaker or Majority Leader there’s even more cash.
That cash is Chamber of Commerce, Big Business, Davos cash it buys what they want not what you and I want.
We have so many pathetic, scum “Republicans” it is no wonder the country is in the state it is. They are nothing but Trojan Horses (asses)
I’m sick of these “Americans” that want our borders open and America broke so that other countries benefit. The only country I openly support and alone in this perpetual war BS is USA.
Rotten to his RINO core! Get rid of this POS hack.
He is one of McCarthy’s many Bit*ch’s.
Sometimes I feel like Brian Kilmeade and Gen Keane should just shut up unless they are promoting USA first. Instead it is always more war and more of our money. Ukraine is not our official ally and neither are the other two. They may be our friends but have they ever sacrificed to support us.
A DS psy op. Turner is scum.
