![Politically explosive Senate investigations run through a very reluctant Mitt Romney](https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_independent_635/f40349b65785624d6f8d8256b705ebcf)
Senator Mitt Romney has his foot hovering over the brakes for the
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s ongoing probe into alleged — and so far unsubstantiated — malfeasance by Obama-era intelligence officials during the 2016 and 2017
Russia investigations.And that’s where it remained on Thursday, as the
Utah Republican voted in lockstep with his party’s majority on the panel, 8-6, to approve nearly three dozen subpoenas for top ex-Obama officials such as former
FBI Director
JAMES COMEY and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
