Jackie Speier: What’s Happening with the House Intel Committee Is ‘Unprecedented’

EXCERPT:

SPEIER: "Well, I really can't. As you can imagine, John, things are happening here without the benefit of communication between the Democrats and the Republicans on the committee. It's unprecedented. This committee has always been bipartisan. It's always worked together. This whole set of circumstances occurred because, last Monday, when we did have the hearing, Director Comey released a bombshell, and the bombshell was not only was he investigating the Russian intervention in our election; he was also investigating whether or not Trump campaign personnel were engaged with the Russians in the intervention. Once that happened, I think the Republicans on the committee, and they are the majority, decided to pull way back. And that's why, all of a sudden, the hearing that was scheduled for today was canceled, while there's been a call back for a closed hearing with Mr. Comey and Mr. Rogers."
