Rubio seen as possible successor to Burr as Intelligence chairman
By Alexander Bolton - 05/14/20 06:37 PM EDT


Senate Republicans see Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as a likely successor to Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, something that would be a major promotion for a lawmaker who contemplated leaving Congress only a few years ago.

The decision ultimately belongs to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) but he is expected to hew closely to the tradition of seniority, which put would Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) as first in line to become chairman and Rubio in second.

But GOP senators expect Risch to stick with his chairmanship of the prestigious Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which is designated a “Super A” committee under Senate Republican conference rules.

GOP rules state a senator serving as a chairman of any “A” committee may not also serve as the chairman of another committee, a limit that was adopted in 1995.

I read the article,and I am still wondering why Rubio?  Other than he's proven he's part of the Ole Country Club.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
