Sen. Cornyn says there are too many Russia investigations

Cornyn: Multiplicity of Investigations Is ‘Train Wreck Waiting to Happen’ https://t.co/7gEpssdATS

This sounds like an excuse for the Senate to continue not doing anything, or doing things veeeeeery slowly.

And it sounds reasonable: With multiple investigations into Russia’s election meddling, the same witnesses will be called, and there could be confusion and delay. Cornyn is really good at sounding reasonable.

But let’s break it down:

1. A foreign power undermining trust in US elections is, to put it mildly, KIND OF A BIG DEAL
2. There were at least ten independent and Congressional investigations into Benghazi. The House committee alone had 46 full-time staff.

So… quit whining, Sen. Cornyn.
