Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) at the helm, two national \u2014 and highly polarizing \u2014 figures whose epic battles, waged predominantly over issues related to former President Trump,\u00a0came to symbolize the panel\u2019s shift from a rare bastion of bipartisan cooperation to an arena of partisan warfare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>This year, there may be a turnaround.<\/p>\n<p>Nunes\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/01\/04\/politics\/devin-nunes-resigns-from-congress\/index.html\">retired from Congress<\/a>\u00a0last January to lead\u00a0the Trump Media &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a> Group, the former president\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> company.\u00a0And this week, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) blocked Schiff from sitting on the panel, accusing the former chairman of lying to the public about Trump\u2019s ties to Russia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Schiff\u2019s eviction drew howls from Democrats, who denied the charges and rushed to his defense. But amid the protests, even some Democrats acknowledged that both Schiff and Nunes\u00a0had become so radioactive in the eyes of the opposing party that it became a drag on the work of the committee.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, committee members of both parties are hoping the roster reshuffling will turn a page on that combative era and return the panel to its historic image as a largely collaborative body.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re hoping it\u2019ll be a reset, and we can get past all the infighting \u2026 and just focus on national security,\u201d said a source familiar with the committee dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), who was first seated on the panel in the last Congress, echoed that message, saying the new chairman, Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio), is making improved relations a priority as he takes the gavel.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the goal,\u201d Gallagher said. \u201cI think we\u2019ve got really good, thoughtful members. We\u2019ve got the right leadership in Turner. And we\u2019re trying to get back to that more bipartisan <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In denying committee seats to Schiff, along with Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), McCarthy claimed their exit would help move the panel in a less partisan direction \u2014 something the two Democrats and their allies deny.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what McCarthy is doing is actually quite the opposite,\u201d Schiff said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s politicizing the committee. No Speaker has ever sought to interfere with who the ranking member on the Intelligence Committee should be. Certainly, [Former] Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi had many differences with Devin Nunes, but she has a reverence for the work of the committee and Kevin McCarthy evidently doesn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Members of both parties pointed to Nunes\u2019s departure, at the start of last year, as the beginning of improved relations on the panel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe entered a new chapter after Nunes left. It really changed with Turner, a ton. And so I suppose maybe from their side they think that something is going to change on our side without Schiff and Swalwell. Perhaps? But I really thought everything changed for the better once Nunes was gone. We were very collegial,\u201d said one Democratic source familiar with the panel\u2019s innerworkings.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah), an eight-year veteran of the Intel Committee, cautioned against pinning the panel\u2019s problems on any one person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to say, \u2018Yeah, the committee is going to work beautifully now because those two are gone,\u2019\u201d he said of Schiff and Swalwell, \u201cbecause that would be unfair, and it wouldn\u2019t be accurate. So I don\u2019t want to indicate that the committee didn\u2019t work, or was more political, only because of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Stewart also said it was \u201cfair\u201d to say Nunes contributed to the panel\u2019s combative environment \u2014\u00a0 a dynamic he blamed on the charged atmosphere of the Trump years, which also featured Schiff playing lead manager of Trump\u2019s first impeachment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cDevin was associated with those very contentious times just like Adam Schiff was associated with those very contentious times. I don\u2019t think it was necessarily Devin, I think it was the two leaders who had to navigate through those tough times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), another member, agreed that the impeachment era soured the committee\u2019s dynamic, though he contributed the deterioration largely to the Republicans\u2019 defense of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever my own view is, obviously, the committee became enormously polarized, which is pretty unusual. When we moved on [after] Ukraine, it already started to repair itself. You know, Devin Nunes moved on,\u201d Himes said. \u201cMike Turner, in my opinion, has always been a fair actor.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Turner declined to talk this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The full roster of the committee remains unclear. While Republicans have named their members \u2014 including new additions that include Reps. Dan Crenshaw (Texas), Michael Waltz (Fla.) and French Hill (Ark.) \u2014 Democrats are waiting for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) to make his accompanying selections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot will depend on that,\u201d said Gallagher. \u201cBut I hope that Leader Jeffries looks at who we\u2019ve appointed \u2026 and responds in-kind with, not just bomb-throwers, but solutions-oriented types.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>McCarthy\u2019s refusal to seat Schiff has created a vacuum at the top of the Democrats\u2019 roster \u2014 a void that virtually every committee Democrat is hoping to fill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi (D-Calif.), had she remained the leader of the party, was set to appoint Himes to the position, according to several Democrats familiar with her plans. But others <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/minutes\/congress\/01-12-2023\/house-intel-moves\/\">are also\u00a0expressing interest<\/a>, including Rep. Andr\u00e9 Carson (D-Ind.).<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries, however, has given no indication either who he\u2019ll pick or when he\u2019ll announce it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the committee comes together, members say they\u2019re not expecting to avoid partisan fights altogether. Gallagher pointed out that the panel will have to tackle a number of prickly topics this Congress \u2014 including the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court \u2014 which are sure to lead to partisan clashes.<\/p>\n<p>But those are issues-based differences, he emphasized, not collisions of personality. And Gallagher said he\u2019s established a good rapport with some of the newer Democrats on the panel, including Reps. Jason Crow (Colo.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (Ill.), who has co-sponsored legislation with Gallagher to ban TikTok in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose younger members and I have a really good working relationship,\u201d Gallagher said. \u201cWe just hope to build on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
