Tom Rooney R-Florida says, "We have lost all credibility."

A GOP member of the House Intelligence Committee is breaking ranks with his fellow Republicans over a contentious report released Monday on Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible ties to the campaign of Donald Trump.

Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) told CNN that “there is evidence” the Russians worked to help Trump.

“I don’t know that necessarily there was a full-fledged campaign to do everything that they could to help elect Donald Trump,” he added. “I think that their goal was chaos.”

The draft report released by his fellow Republicans on Monday claims otherwise, saying Russian President Vladimir Putin interfered in the election but not with the goal of aiding Trump.

However, he also justified ending the committee’s investigation.

“We’ve gone completely off the rails, and now we’re just basically a political forum for people to leak information to drive the day’s news,” Rooney said. “We’ve lost all credibility, and we’re going to issue probably two different reports, unfortunately.”

He was referring to the likelihood that the committee’s Democratic members will issue their own report challenging the findings.

Well holy shit...there's a Republican politician who has one integrity molecule firing in his brain. I'm so fucking impressed. Do we need to go into the list of how Rooney voted on the ACA repeal, or how he voted on the tax bill, or how he voted for the eight years when Obama was president. No we don't.

Tom Rooney is an anti-choice, pro-gun, pro big military spending, anti-EPA, bigot Muslim hating, pro-indefinite detention, neo-confederate, gay-bashing right winjob jerk-off. Too fucking late for you to begin exhibiting a conscience, asshole.
