Why Kevin McCarthy must keep Will Hurd on the House Intelligence Committee

Congressman Will Hurd must remain on the House Intelligence Committee. He brings intelligence expertise and patriotic virtue to a committee in desperate need of both.

I raise this issue in light of the report on Tuesday by the Washington Examiner‘s Susan Ferrechio and David Drucker. House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy may move Jim Jordan onto the Intelligence Committee in preparation for escalating impeachment hearings. “Mike Conaway and Will Hurd, both of Texas,” Ferrechio and Drucker observe, “are not running for another term and could be among those McCarthy bumps” to make room for Jordan.
