Republican on House panel: 'We've lost all credibility' on Russia

WASHINGTON - Rep. Thomas Rooney, R-Fla., went on CNN on Monday night with the intention of defending a draft report written by his fellow Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee - who announced earlier in the day that they had found no evidence that President Trump's campaign had conspired with Russia and did not believe that Russia had even tried to help Trump get elected. The report has been disowned by Democrats on the panel, who say it ignores evidence of collusion, contradicts CIA and FBI assessments and undermines a special counsel's ongoing investigation into whether Trump's campaign worked with Russia during the 2016 election. So it could have used Rooney's defense.
