"In an interview this week conducted before the revelation of the Trump Jr. subpoena, Burr — who was elected to a third term in 2016 and has said he will not run again — dismissed any notion that politics is influencing his investigation."

My first thought is this, and no, I absolutely have NO evidence by which to prove my thinking, only analysis. Burr was paid off. One way or another. Threat this, reward that, whatever. And consider, he says he won't be running again in 2022. Wow.

Here's the ridiculous fallacy. To say you're not running again, and therefore your decisions are ABOVE politics, is the most idiotic claim you can make. Politics is precisely what might make you not run again. You've sold your power to the other side, politically speaking.

Consider the 40 Republican House members who decided NOT to run again in 2018's midterms. Do you imagine they were true patriots, who discovered their integrity and chose, therefore, to NOT run? Hogwash. They were traitors, bought and owned by the other side.

So also, with Burr. To subpoena the President's son, yet again, is simply to attack the President. Period. Place no spin upon it. The Republican head of the Senate Intelligence committee has been bought off, somehow, and is attacking the President's son. Shame on him.

And shame on all the wimpy, spineless Republicans who have no intellectual or moral fiber to call a spade a spade. Burr is more than wrong, he is obviously sold out. Swamp alert. We know who you are. We will not forgive. We will not forget.
