Rep. Dana Rohrabacher: Republican Leadership âToo Timidâ in Probing Democratsâ Russia Scandals
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said Wednesday that the Republican Party leadership has been âtoo timidâ in dealing with the various Russia-related controversies plaguing the Democrats  and said he believes it is because the leadership is âuncomfortableâ with  President Trump .
Additionally  he called for probes into recent revelations that Hillary Clintonâs campaign funded the â Trump  dossierâ put together by Fusion GPS â a company that is alleged to have ties to the Kremlin.
âWe need to have a serious set of hearings open to the public so the public will be able to see whatâs going on â he said. âI will tell you that the Republican Party has been too timid about this and I believe thatâs because some of our leaders feel uncomfortable with  Donald Trump  and they were supporting other candidates during the primary process.â
Rohrabacher noted that  he  supported Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)  not  Trump   during the primaries. However   he  said it was important that Democrats  as well as Republicans  recognize that  Trump  won the election fairly:
The American people have spoken   the election of Donald Trump  was not a collusion with Russians and a stealing of the election  it was an honest reflection of the voters of this country and our system and the fact that the Democrats continued to shove this lie down our throat every day constantly for months  that: âOh  this election  was stolen by  Trump  collusion with Russia â that was a disservice.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee funded Fusion GPSâs research into Trumpâs alleged ties with Russia. Fusion GPS is accused of ties to the Kremlin and of running a smear campaign against Russian whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky.
