Sen. Burr's screw up

David Limbaugh:

...
The Democrats are acting in bad faith, ignoring the bulk of the report and its conclusions in trying to create a smoke screen of confusion to dupe their base and other parts of the credulous public who might be susceptible to believing they really have the goods on Trump at last.

Now Sen. Burr has climbed aboard the Democrats' Witch Hunt Train, where he'll be consigned to the caboose as long as Conductor Jerrold Nadler, House Judiciary Committee chairman, insists on chugging his locomotive down this partisan track.

It's easy to understand what Nadler and his Democrat colleagues are up to -- they've been telegraphing their plan to impede Trump's agenda through endless investigations over matters on which Trump has already been cleared. They have no intention of allowing him to be president -- ever. I would say, "Shame on them," except they're shameless. They know exactly what they're doing. They know it's wrong. But it serves their lower purposes, and that's all that matters.

It would be too charitable to accuse the Democrats and Burr of going on a fishing expedition because they know there's only dead fish in their toxic lake. They don't stand a snowball's chance of impeaching Trump or laying a glove on Don Jr. But they think they have plenty to gain in harassing the president, his family and anyone in his administration or wider orbit. If a team of highly skilled, Trump-hating prosecutors was unable to find anything actionable against Trump, these lightweight clowns in Congress are going nowhere. We are witnessing an ongoing abuse of power in its purest form, which is sure to backfire on its perpetrators.

Sen. Burr is probably shell-shocked to have stuck his finger in this hellhole thinking he would be drenched with praise, only to draw back a bloody stump. He is being uniformly condemned as the sanctimonious opportunist he is.

Sen. John Cornyn, a fellow member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he'd discuss the subpoena with Burr but warned that the panel needs to stay out of politics and that this move against Donald Trump Jr. "smacks of politics." In a shot across the bow at Burr, Cornyn said that the Intelligence Committee needs to focus on its mission, "which is oversight of the intelligence community." Let's not lightly pass over that. Just what business does Burr think his committee has in further investigating a matter that has nothing remotely to do with intelligence, especially since Mueller concluded there was no collusion or coordination with Russia?

Burr appears to be a dupe of the Democrats on the committee.  This move is a likely career killer for him.  He should listen to Cornyn and back off.  The whole premise of the questioning is ridiculous.  There is no question that the Trump organization was interested in building a tower in Moscow but it went nowhere.  That is the end of the story.
