A GOP member of the House Intelligence Committee is breaking ranks with his fellow Republicans . . . Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) told CNN that “there is evidence” the Russians worked to help Trump.
It is not disputed there is evidence the Russians tried to help Trump. The question is collusion. He said he thought the Russians were just trying to to sew chaos.
Honestly, I thought the most interesting thing in the video is that he actually said the Russians had a bunch of damaging dirt on Hillary they didn't release because they thought she would win. (Insinuating they may have to deal with someone they ruined?)
Surprising there was no mention of this statement from the interview, or that no one wants to dig into it further./s I thought it was almost comical how quickly she started talking over him.

Hmmm, but they never bother to divulge that "evidence". Why would Putin prefer Trump when he easily could have controlled Hillary, who lately can't seem to hold her liquor and feel down again in India...twice.
Facebook and Google have provided all the evidence. It is laughable.
Hillary Clinton isnt a pushover and she isn't in debt to Russian banks.
He'll be primaried by the TEAparty for telling the truth.
Rep. Tom Rooney is a BIG R Republican unlike most of the damn gop in congress. He will be demonized by Trump...
Trump bashes so many politicians-- but what's surprising is how he is so critical not only of Democrats but also Republicans.
And his public humiliation of Jeff Sessions was pretty far out, as Sessions is highly respected amongst other Republicans (and especially amongst the most Conservative) ... Sessions was the first Republican inn the Senate to endorse Trump. Yet Trump has really demonized Sessions severely.
But while Trump is free to bash American politicians, both Democrat and Republican, there's just one person he continues to leave alone-- Vladimir Putin!
I can't help but wonder why...???
Kind of funny how the whole gist of the article changes when you read the whole thing:
"Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) told CNN that “there is evidence” the Russians worked to help Trump.
“I don’t know that necessarily there was a full-fledged campaign to do everything that they could to help elect Donald Trump,” he added. “I think that their goal was chaos.”
Also this:
"However, he also justified ending the committee’s investigation.
“We’ve gone completely off the rails, and now we’re just basically a political forum for people to leak information to drive the day’s news,” Rooney said. “We’ve lost all credibility, and we’re going to issue probably two different reports, unfortunately.”
Yeah, people act like this is some bombshell. I said the same thing yesterday, the committee was leaking left and right and needed to shut down.
???
(Since the Mueller Investigation maintains their secrecy-- I assume you therefore support their work 100%?
Yes, the House committee has been leaking.
Of course the Mueller investigation has been leaking. NBC and Bloomberg in particular frequently have stories about what Mueller is up to that can only have come from his team.
