Every time I think we have plumbed the depths of stupidity among congressional Republicans, someone comes along to prove that we are so far from the bottom that we can't even see it. Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), supposedly an up-and-coming conservative "star" in the U.S. Senate, proudly announced that the Senate Intelligence Committee had voted to give itself "blanket authority to issue subpoenas" regarding the investigation into Russian election meddling. This means the Democrats have been granted unrestricted license to go after President Trump despite what is obviously a partisan witch hunt. How could Republicans be so stupid? We have just barely survived eight years of unrestrained criminality by Obama, two successive attorneys general –Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch– who turned the Justice Department into an extremist partisan attack machine that stood the rule of law on its head. We also endured the shenanigans of serial criminal co-conspirator, Hillary Clinton, who gave Russia a 20 percent stake in U.S. weapons-grade uranium production and auctioned off her influence as secretary of state to the highest bidder.

Our Intel Cmte voted unanimously today to give @SenatorBurr & @MarkWarner blanket authority to issue subpoenas for our #Russia investigation
