      If House Republicans are putting the president’s political needs ahead of their own political needs, that’s a bad sign for the mid-terms and a compounding of the power-check conundrum 14/

      If voters agree with Rep. Tom Rooney, a committee Republican who said the probe has lost all credibility, the move to wrap it up will backfire. 15/

      It’s not like Democrats in competitive districts are banging their drums about the Russia probe. They want to avoid questions that lead to their opinion on impeachment 18/

      But the controversy over the credibility of the House GOP probe and report gives Democrats in competitive districts an opening to remind voters of Trump’s Russia problem by framing it as a power-check issue. That is, two birds, one stone, no impeachment talk. 19/

      Sure, framing it that way opens the door for the impeachment question, but that’s easily deflected by saying Congress needs to be able to do oversight to find out what happened, not to judge Trump before all the facts are in. 20/

      In the interest of circularity, I come back to the original point: I don’t understand the House GOP’s strategy here. It does not seem to be one that helps them. 22/

          A good question well articulated. My guess? It's in keeping with the same clumsy, ham-handed "Nothing to see folks!" smoke that the WH itself keeps blowing up America's butt. If Nunes really is DJT's sock puppet, this isn't so much "the GOP" as it is Trumpism.

          The GOP are Trumpists now. There's a disturbing trend where people want to separate the GOP and Trump as if they aren't carrying each other's water. They are. Make a case for Republicans that are "waking up" maybe, but until they stop voting as one, they are Trumpism in action.

          More to the point, recent surveys show that voters are already saying they want a check on Trump. Frankly Dems in Congress are being predictably timid about engaging on this point.

          I think your argument is flawed in that you assume they have a strategy......... or that the strategy does not just involve “Do What Trump Says”- which is also probably not a cohesive and well thought out strategy.

          Agreed-House R's "strategy" is to excuse worst excesses of Trump admin & blur the lines leading back to Russia on meddling (if not worse). Nunes & others "in charge" of House Intell Ctte have also never faced tough general elections-they only fear challenges from the right

          House Republicans and the White House think it will give them an opportunity at false equivalency if and when Mueller comes with accusations. It won’t work, but it’s all they have.

          Excellent points! I think that the Repubes want to be voted out, but I've believed that since March of 2017. I think they've given us at least one reason daily to vote them out. From looking at us in the eye while we tell them that the ACA saved out life, that we'll die if they
