It’s time to put Nunes and the boys out of business

You’ve got to love that headline. It says everything about this GOP congress and its complicity in the Russian hacking of the presidential campaign and the cover-up by the administration and the Republican Party. I have screen capped it for posterity.
About half the claims in this Byron piece are outright wrong. So I guess his piece claiming a big summary is just proof that the propagandists didn't even know what they were looking at?

Yes, yes it is.
Let’s be clear. The idea that there ever needed to be an investigation into the Russia investigation was always a
partisan propaganda ploy by Trump’s accomplices in the House to deflect and cover for their leader and a tactic to pressure the DOJ and make them second-guess themselves and go easy on Trump. It has actually been somewhat successful in that regard although we don’t know its effect on the Mueller investigation since they’ve been very quiet with respect to the Trump involvement in the scheme. For all we know they will exonerate him…
But, yes, if they lose the House the “investigation” into the investigation will end. And if we are lucky, the congressional investigation into the actual crimes will finally begin.
