(Jim Bourg/Reuters)In early January, before Donald Trump was sworn in as president, Sen. Marco Rubio took a brief turn as the highest-profile Republican critic of Trump’s emerging foreign policy. “We’ve learned more from the newspapers sometimes than we do from our open hearings, for sure,” Rubio said to Comey. Others suggested that the GOP’s reluctance to move against Trump was understandable because the investigation is still in its infancy. Nor did they refute the underlying allegation that Trump fired Comey because he declined to drop portions of the FBI investigation. He attempted to diminish the impact of the allegation that Trump wanted Comey to “let go” of the Flynn probe.
