House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes led Republicans in a party line vote to table the motion.

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have blocked a move to subpoena the interpreter from the Helsinki summit to testify about the private talks between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff, said Thursday he wanted the State Department interpreter to appear in closed session, saying Congress must “find out what was said” during the two-hour meeting.
The California lawmaker says he realizes it’s an “extraordinary” step to subpoena the interpreter, but it’s also extraordinary for the president to meet alone with a U.S. adversary.
Chairman Devin Nunes, also of California, led Republicans in a party line vote to table the motion. Nunes said a panel hearing on China was not an appropriate venue. The vote was 11-6."

1. I'm going to start referring to them as the KGOP instead of republicans.

Ratfucking traitors of the highest order.

2. They are

3. It's a massive cover up, alright. So what do we do?

1. Buy massive airtime warning people that because of the Russians and the Republican Party, the 2018 mid-term election is not safe. Implore all voters to call their county board of Elections IMMEDIATELY to make sure they are registered and have a voter card. No Nov 6 Surprises!

2. Organize Bus trips in intercity areas to make sure people have their voter photo IDs.

3. Figure out which states have the cleanest elections and particularly target Republicans in those states.

4. In ANY place where people can use paper ballots, encourage them to do so.

5. Run ruthless attacks ads linking the entire GOP as nothing but shills and pawns of the uberwealthy who will never be a check on Putin's, I mean, Trump's power!

4. Muellar will subpoena interpreter from the Helsinki, right?

...damn this person may be the most sought after "witness" in the world right now? What about notes, recordings?

Since House declined, surely Senate committer will take up this urgent issue, since it's related to Russia.

5. No reason why Mueller couldn't subpoena him/her, it's a conversation between Trump and Putin

and totally germane to his investigation.

6. I think you are on to something there

7. Nunes certainly wants to hide anything he'd be implicated by
