this is what is so maddening about this.
trump is plucking these otherwise obscure extremist out of thin air and placing them in really important positions.

Ratcliffe, asked by Warner if he agrees with Intelligence Committee assessment that Russia interfered in 2016 to help Trump, says “I have no reason to dispute the committee’s finding.” BUT he says he has “no reason to dispute” Rs on House Intel, who didn’t reach that conclusion

Ratcliffe wasn’t on House Intel in the last Congress and testifies he hasn’t seen underlying intel to understand why GOP on House Intel reached different finding than the bipartisan Senate Intel report, which affirmed the Intel Community’s assessment that Russia preferred Trump

The White House says Fauci couldn't testify in the House because he was busy dealing with the pandemic.

Trump says Fauci couldn't testify in the House because "the House is a set up. The House is a bunch of Trump-haters.”
