Clearly he must be defeated when he runs again, in 2022. But I want to go on record just once saying this; it was almost night and day how Burr ran the Senate Intelligence Committee compared to how David Nunes ran the House Committee. Obviously Burr did not run as aggressive an investigation of Trump and Russia etc, as a good Democrat would have. But he did not turn it into a full fledged Trump support charade either. No doubt Burr was under significant pressure to do so. Even a shred of institutional integrity shown by a Republican in Congress nowadays is noteworthy. I hereby have duly noted it.

(22,913 posts)It is a low bar that Burr potentially clears. The Committee under his Chair did not devolve into total partisanship. The Democrats were not frozen out in the same way as the House Committee was run, the Senate Committee reports have not been total whitewashes for Trump like the majority report was in the House.
