Now theyre backtracking. `Republicans may be bowing to public pressure.` 2 days ago, the Republican leadership of the House Intelligence Committee made a startling claim: The US intelligence communitys conclusion that Russia tried to help President Trump win the White House was flatly wrong. Now leading GOP members of the panel including its chair are already walking away from the claim and grudgingly admitting the Kremlin worked to undermine Hillary Clinton and boost Trump. Everyone gets to make their own mind whether or not they are trying to hurt Hillary or help Trump, Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX), who led the House intelligence probe, said to reporters on Tuesday. It is kind of the glass half-full, glass half-empty, depending how you look at it. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) best known for his investigations into the deadly 2012 attack on a US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya said Tuesday that Putin had been motivated in whole or in part by a desire to harm her candidacy or undermine her presidency had she prevailed. Gowdy spokesperson Amanda Gonzalez told me Wednesday that the Congress member didnt see a difference between liking Trump and hating Clinton which means that Gowdy is backing away from the Republican claim even more explicitly than Conaway. In a binary race, hoping one candidate will lose is tantamount to hoping the other candidate prevails, Gonzalez said. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who has served on the committee since 2015, told Vox that the original Republican assertion that Moscow hadnt tried to help Trump may not even make it into the final report. A 150-page draft report was sent to Democrats Tuesday; its not clear when it will be made public, or what changes if any Republicans will agree to make beforehand. It still looks like officially their report will say that there was a preference for Donald Trump, Swalwell said in an interview. If true, that would mean the report itself would be at odds with Conaways initial assertions that Moscow hadnt tried to help Trump. The GOP retreat in assertions about Russias election meddling is the latest blow to the credibility of the House Republicans investigation, which Democrats have steadily derided as a partisan farce aimed at defending Trump from accusations of collusion rather than actually uncovering the truth. On Tuesday night, Democrats fleshed out their critique and released a detailed 21-page list of investigative leads they say Republicans on the panel ignored, including 30 witnesses like White House advisers Stephen Miller and Kellyanne Conway that werent interviewed. /Sigh .. --- You don't need a treaty to have free trade.
