Par for the course

Another worthless Congressional investigation.
The House Intelligence Committee spent 10 months trying to conduct a bipartisan probe of Russian meddling in the U.S. election, but repeated bursts of political skirmishing have left Republican and Democratic panel leaders preparing competing findings.

[...]

A Republican “majority” report will assert there’s no evidence of Russian collusion with Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign based on what the committee has learned so far, according to two of the officials. Democrats are likely to counter with a minority report asserting there’s plenty of substantive evidence pointing to collusion, while saying they weren’t given enough time to investigate it, the officials said.

It also raises questions about whether the parallel probes being conducted by the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees will do any better at producing unified conclusions.

Anybody placing bets?
More interviews are set to occur this week, with Attorney General Jeff Sessions scheduled to appear behind closed doors on Thursday morning. Former Trump adviser Erik Prince, who founded the military services contractor Blackwater, is to appear later that day for an interview with a transcript to be released later.
Why? Why are they wasting the time if they've already decided? I don't even know why they set the thing up in the first place. There's a Senate investigation and a Judiciary Committee investigation. And, of course, the Mueller investigation. The House hearings were a joke.

Jesus wept.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
