Mike Turner is no longer Chair of the Intelligence Committee at the request of Donald Trump. He is too close to the intelligence community and has been rabid about the war in Ukraine and NATO as a war machine.
Turner wouldn’t censure Adam Schiff and killed a motion to drop FISA 702. One of the worst things he did was refuse to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas after he violated federal immigration law recklessly and lied to Congress under oath. Turner was also one of the 13 Republicans who voted for the Democrat gun control bill.

This shows seriousness from Trump on getting the bad people out. Turner is an intel/MIC stooge.
About 2 months ago, a fake story was leaked to the media that Trump would nominate Turner to run the FBI. Trump “supporters” accepted the story and complained about it incessantly, as proving Trump has “learned nothing”. Trump said he never considered Turner. This fake story was one of the big lies. Many more will come.
Turner is the one that went on TV and made a big deal about some secret weapon Russia has, so we needed to massively fund Ukraine. His story failed. He’s a liar. There are special weapons which Russia has, called supersonic missiles. It was up to Turner’s precious intel community to identify those weapons years ago, and call for the USA to get serious about but they did not. Instead, the corrupt intel community supported the corrupt MIC. Turner’s oversight was supposed to identify deficiencies and take action, all he did was beg for more money for Ukraine.
May the chips fall and heads roll.
That is great news.
