Senators are locked in a turf battle as they plot their way forward in dueling investigations on Russian election interference.

Two Senate panels — the Judiciary and Intelligence committees — are conducting separate probes into the 2016 White House race, ties between President Trump’s team and Moscow, and former FBI Director James Comey’s firing.

But with new allegations against the administration leaking almost daily, the two committees are increasingly bumping elbows as they fight for the same information.

Leaders on the Judiciary Committee, which has oversight of the FBI, say their requests for information are being stonewalled. Comey declined to testify publicly before their panel.

1. I hate to say it but they dragged their feet. Sounds like too little too late.

2. Especially Grassley who did not want to move on anything

If anyone is stonewalling, it is him! I have saved my email from him showing his early stonewalling towards Sessions!

3. Yeah imo they're all neck deep in it. Ryan and McConnell were informed about

A very long time ago

4. They have been dragging their heels with nobody assigned to investigate

Comey declined to testify because they would only give him a classified session where it can be buried.

He wanted a public hearing which Republican chairman would not give him.


I wonder why?

Why couldn't the Hill article have mentioned that, I know why
