What does the House Intel Committee do now?

They are scheduled to bring in Corey Lewandowski, perhaps today, as their final witness before they wrap up their "investigation".

But, what do they do about the new information regarding George Nader and the meeting in the Seychelles?

After all, Eric Prince gave testimony to them a few months ago and he lied to them. What do they do about that. Just forget about it?

Of course, Nunes has been worthless from the beginning, as has Paul Ryan.

It seems like they are hell bent on wrapping up (what that means in their heads, anyway) the Russia Investigation as they truly believe it's a big nothingburger to begin with- and Democratic Party-Hillary-Obama-"Deep State"-Mueller-FBI conspiracy to bring down Donald Trump. There is a little more "sobriety" about the whole thing in the Senate among Republicans, though there's little doubt in my mind that Republicans just want the whole thing to go away.

5. Exactly, there is NO investigation, there is just a coverup attempt on the part of Nunes.

He's in on the whole russian scheme and doing his best to make the investigation go away by distracting with fake lying BS.

And now, the facts are starting to make them look foolish, even more foolish, if possible?

Act like only they know the truth, BUT then somehow another bombshell story is dropped at the NYT's or the Post. Poof, it's gone.

Waste of our money.

their obviously biased investigation into Trump. Mark my words. They are trying to wrap this up so they can turn all of their energy into trying to stop or at least totally discredit the Mueller Investigation. Putin and Trump have already given Nunes his marching orders.

They replied " Who is Nader?" They are on the committee, running it, and don't even know who he is!
