Former Congressman Darrell Issa (R) on Sunday told “Sunday Morning Futures†host Maria Bartiromo that the “continued investigations†to which leaders in the House of Representatives have committed are a “cover-up of the initial crime†perpetrated against the 2016 Trump campaign alleging “collusion†with Russian operatives to affect the outcome of the election.
Issa’s appearance begins at 29:26 in an after-broadcast YouTube video.
On March 22, Special Counsel Robert Mueller handed in a 448-page report to Attorney General William Barr stating that his team did not establish that any coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia took place to affect the election, as was alleged by an initial FBI counterintelligence probe.
Many Democrats have responded stridently, stating that investigations into the president possibly culminating in “impeachment†will be launched.
In the 2018 midterms elections, Democrats swept many districts which had been Republican strongholds, including Issa’s, taking the majority in the House of Representatives and setting the stage for a highly-contentious two years between Congress and the White House Amid Mueller’s ongoing Russia “collusion†investigation.
From the outset, Trump claimed Mueller was conflicted and that the investigation was nothing more than “a witch hunt.â€
The 2016 actions of FBI and Justice Department officials have been and remain under investigation by the DOJ’s inspector general’s office, with two reports expected within approximately the next eight weeks.
