Andy Biggs Calls For Mike Turner To Be Removed Over 'Political Stunt'

Representative Andy Biggs, a Republican from Arizona, recently called for the ousting of one of his congressional colleagues:

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, a Republican from Ohio.

Biggs is insisting that Turner overhyped some of the threats coming out of Russia by giving cryptic statements as conservatives tried to rein in "warrantless government surveillance."

"Chairman Mike Turner should lose his job over his political stunt this week. His cryptic statements caused the markets to crash and created unnecessary panic. This stunt conveniently occurred during the week we wanted to curtail warrantless government surveillance," Biggs wrote on social media.

He also shared a video of his interview on Steve Bannon's show.

Last week, Mike Turner got America pretty upset over an alleged threat from Russia when he publicly sounded the alarm over a threat that some politicians are saying was completely made up, or at least exaggerated.

Representative Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, called for an investigation into Turner's controversial scheme, saying:

"=In hindsight, it has become clear that the intent was not to ensure the safety of our homeland and the American people, but rather to ensure additional funding for Ukraine and passage of an unreformed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).This act constituted poor judgement at a minimum and a complete breach of trust influenced by the pursuit of a political agenda at a maximum."]

"Should the chairman retain his post, you have a duty and an obligation to reassure this body (Congress) and the American people that the processes of the Intelligence Committee have not been corrupted by the very institutions they are charged with monitoring," Ogles wrote to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

What do you think about this story?

Was Turner out of line to sound the alarm, or are these other guys covering up the truth?
