He flat out admitted he didn't want it and only took it because his wife said so

Which is something you would say to hide the fact that you desperately wanted the job so you could remove sanctions and facilitate a $500 billion Russian oil deal. Once he does that, he'll ghost and go straight back to Exxon to enjoy the profits.
Well, that was misquoted.... he said he initially didn't want the job and this his wife inspired him by telling him he was meant to do it...like he "had" to.
The actual Tillerson quote:

The quote makes more sense when you realize that "God" is their code word for Putin.
I didnt believe in the existence of the pee pee tape at first. But as the dossier gets verified one item at a time, like checking things off a shopping list, I am indeed coming around.
I'm almost ready to... BELIEVE.
Could you post a link?

So we are getting a press conference from the Senate Intel Committee today, but there won't be any more hearings as of right now? Do I have this right?

No more House Intel meetings for now. The Senate Intel meetings should continue as planned AFAIK. They are separate committees.
Thank you. Hard to keep track of all this.
Sounds like the Senate Intel Committee is still doing a hearing tomorrow.

I'm looking for this as well.
Fiorina is now another R saying we need special investigators.

Nunes on if they can do a hearing before the Easter recess at the end of next week: I doubt that..there's not enough time for that
No time before Easter to hold a hearing that was scheduled for yesterday...

Is this some backhanded way of Fiorina saying that the investigation will uncover nothing but they are caving because the Democrats are bitching?

Given the second half of the last sentence I don't think so.

That's how I read it.

She does go on to say that no one will trust the results if it isnt done independently
Just found the "democrats wont let it go" comment very odd
I was under the impression that the interest in this issue was bi partisan

She's always advocated for this investigation so I wouldn't say that necessarily. Just that this clearly isn't gonna die, no matter how many times Spicy says case closed.

Not at all. The Republicans are all saying that this is an issue only because the Democrats will not let it go and they continue to make it an issue.
No point in making it partisan
That's what I read. We should have a independent commission. The Ds won't let this go and the public needs to find out (through that investigation) that there is no "there" there
Well, given that she's a Republican, she can't appear to personally want an independent investigation, even if she actually does.

NUNES moving ahead; tells us House Intel will have more public hearings but says "I doubt" they will occur before Easter

Its the perfect cover, honestly.
"Hey I totally think this is a democratic hit job, but unless there's an independent investigation to prove what conservatives already know in our hearts, democrats will always cry foul. It's time to prevent the democrats from making this investigation political so the American people can be reassured our president is honest good man."

Burr's Comments:
- Investigation is ongoing.
- Unprecedented amount of documents provided to the committee that only the Gang of Eight and other high level folks have seen.
- They are working through those documents.
- First hearings are scheduled. Up to 20 or more people will be interviewed. Folks who are being interviewed may be asked back in either an official capacity or if they wish to volunteer.
- Jared Kushner is the only person currently identified as being interviewed.
- Tomorrow's first public meeting is to examine Russian capabilities to influence elections globally. What they've done in the past. What they are doing today both in the US and the world and what we should expect for the future.
- Two panels setup for the morning and afternoon to look at Russian policy and technologies.
- This investigations scope will go where the intelligence leads.
- The committee will work to make sure that they separate fact from fiction. There is real bi-partisan effort to make this work.

As someone that lived most of his life in Northern VA; I'm realizing this is the first time I've heard Warner speak. Not what I was expecting for some reason.

I felt that was more a message to her colleagues that they won't be able to bury it because the Dems won't let them.
