QOTD: Congressman Mike Quigley

QOTD: Congressman Mike Quigley

by digby


Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee:


"I was old enough to understand — and watch — Watergate," he said. "This is so much more important. Because I believe that if you had seen what I have seen, you'd want me to go full throttle. Anything that makes the analysis of this by Congress, or any other investigators, inconsistent in any way ... reduces how important this is."


I guess the Republicans covering for Trump figure that even if Mueller proves that he was working on behalf of the Russian government he's worth protecting. Honestly, that surprises even me and I'm as cynical about Republicans as you can get.

Here's the whole talk if you want to hear it. It's quite interesting.
