Depends on election results in House. Good summary of what has been uncovered so far.
Republicans on Capitol Hill have added enormously to the public's understanding of what happened in the Trump-Russia investigation. They're still doing it. But it will come to a screeching halt if the GOP loses control of the House in next month's midterm elections.
The driving force behind the revelations is House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. But a number of other Republicans in the House, including Reps. Trey Gowdy, John Ratcliffe, Bob Goodlatte, Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, and others have also played critical roles. (In the Senate, Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley has done key work, but the most progress has been made in the House because House rules make it easier for the majority to work around minority opposition.)
Among the things Americans know about the conduct of the Trump-Russia probe that they would not have known had Nunes and his colleagues not tackled the subject:
1) The important role that the incendiary allegations in the still-unverified Trump dossier played in the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign.
2) The fact that the dossier was commissioned and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party.
3) The unusual circumstances surrounding the formal beginning of the FBI's counter-intelligence investigation into the Trump campaign.
4) The troubling deficiencies in the FBI's application for a warrant to wiretap onetime Trump campaign figure Carter Page.
5) The anti-Trump bias of some of the top officials in the FBI investigation.
6) The degree to which the dossier's allegations spread throughout the Obama administration during the final days of the 2016 campaign and the transition.
7) Obama officials' unmasking of Trump-related figures in intelligence intercepts.
8) The fact that FBI agents did not believe Michael Flynn lied to them in the interview that later led to Flynn's guilty plea on a charge of lying to the FBI.
9) The role of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS in the Trump-Russia probe.
And more.
