Republicans on House’s Trump-Russia Probe Not That Interested in Trump or Russia

Only three of the 13 House intel committee Republicans regularly show up to grill Russia-related witnesses. Meanwhile, GOP staffers are chasing the trail of the pee tape dossier.

In front of cable news cameras and on Twitter, the tensions between Republicans and Democrats on the House intelligence committee’s Trump-Russia investigation are pointed and more than occasionally nasty. But inside the Secure Compartmented Information Facility while members of the intel committee grill Obama administration alums and Trump allies, things can get even messier. Rep. Devin Nunes, who has ostensibly stepped back from the probe, still controls its subpoena power—and significant aspects of its agenda. Nunes’ staffers are tracking down leads. Just not those about Trump.

People familiar with the probe say it’s becoming increasingly clear where the committee’s Republican staffers are focusing their energy—and it’s not on the possible collusion between the Kremlin and Trump Tower.

Three knowledgeable sources told The Daily Beast that usually just three of the 13 Republican congressmen on the committee are regulars when witnesses are grilled behind closed doors. A few additional members sometimes attend parts of the probe’s interviews.

Speaking of subpoenas, only Nunes can issue them—even though he announced on April 6 that he would have Conaway, Rooney, and Gowdy “temporarily take charge” of the probe. Multiple sources confirmed to The Daily Beast that Nunes has not delegated his subpoena power to any of those three Republicans. One source said Conaway has been requesting subpoenas, and that Nunes has the final sign-off.
