Comey, Senators Try to Convince America That Trump-Russia Probes Are Apolitical
By Margaret Hartmann
Assuring Americans that their deeply partisan, often dysfunctional government is capable of investigating Russia’s alleged attempt to sow partisan discord and undermine U.S. institutions was always going to be difficult. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes managed to make the task even harder in recent days when he secretly visited the White House then attempted to vindicate President Trump’s unfounded claims that he was wiretapped by his predecessor.
On Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey and the leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee attempted to boost people’s confidence in the government’s probes into Russia’s election meddling — or at least distance themselves from the mess created by Nunes.
