Can somebody please explain to me

[choie]

the game that Rethug Sen. Richard Burr is playing? This is the same Burr who was mentioned in the Mueller report as leaking information about the investigation to the Trump administration. So, why did he subpoena Trump jr? It's certainly not out of some awakening integrity...

1. Power

He is looking to disempower Jr. and hedging his bets on Trump losing.

2. I think he's taking orders from Trump-

who probably wants to send his eldest loser son to take the rap.

3. since he isn't planning to run again maybe he is ok helping

to bring down the trumps and save the Republican party.

[unblock]

4. He's giving junior an opportunity to revise his testimony

He's actually helping junior.

5. that makes the most sense!

because I"ll never ever believe that Burr is doing this for the good of the country - or even the good of his party.
