2016 ELECTION/INTELLIGENCE/POLITICS/RUSSIA: “The leaders of a House of Representatives probe of possible Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election said they had a ‘successful’ hearing on Thursday [5-4-17], projecting unity after a partisan division had threatened to derail their investigation.
Representatives Mike Conaway, the new Republican leader of the House Intelligence Committee probe, and Adam Schiff, the top Democrat, addressed reporters together after Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey and Admiral Mike Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, testified at a classified hearing.
‘We had a very successful hearing,’ Conaway said.
Schiff said the witnesses had provided ‘some additional insights,’ and the committee was working together very well.
Neither responded to questions.”
