That committee used to be called the House Intelligence Committee.

They were bi-partisan and tried very hard to keep politics out of our intelligence. Because they understood that truth and facts were necessary to keeping our nation safe and secure from foreign enemies.

But Donald Trump was able to infiltrate that fortress. He was able to compromise a couple of Republican Congressmen on the Committee and to convince them that it was a partisan witch hunt. The FBI and the "deep state" were trying to destroy his presidency. He was able to recruit the Chair of the Committee, Devin Nunes, to carry his water for him and to create havoc with threats of investigating all the intelligence that said Russia, and perhaps some in the Trump campaign, were complicit in attacking our electoral system.

Eventually, the Committee fell apart from partisan rancor. Trump was successful. One of the most respected committees in the US Congress was sabotaged by a President attempting to keep the truth from the American people.
