A.B. Stoddard on House GOP Intel Report: ‘Extremely Disappointing,’ ‘Make Them Look Terrible’

‘It was extremely disappointing that the Republicans in the majority would not want to even try to attempt to look like they presented a fair conclusion to this investigation’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
PERINO: One last question. House Intel committee, the Republicans said, okay, case closed, no collusion. But Adam Schiff, democratic ranking member on the committee said this. Regarding the key witnesses that he says the Republicans have refused to interview. He included former chief of staff rice previs, Sean Spicer, Kelly Anne Conway and Russian lawyer Natalia slutskya. I don’t know if there’s any juice left. It’s so partisan. I think everyone has written it off and they’re waiting for the Senate to come forward and Robert Mueller. Your thoughts?
STODDARD: "I think you’re right. I thought it was extremely disappointing that the Republicans in the majority would not want to even try to attempt to look like they presented a fair conclusion to this investigation. They didn’t even inform the Democrats. They allowed them to go on TV and talk about how unfair this process is. That’s a shame. That’s their duty when it comes to intelligence. It shouldn’t be politicized. Even if it is, you should fight and bend over backwards to make it look like you are trying to be nonpartisan. They didn’t do that. As a result, you had congressman Rooney go out on TV. One of the Republicans. Saying you’re right. The rails have come off. This is a political forum for people to leak information. They’re not on the same page. Mike Conway, trey Gowdy. I think it makes them look terrible. That said, Democrats are gonna take that opportunity to keep talking about why this fell apart while everyone else is just waiting for Senate Intel and special counsel Mueller."
