Now, though, Mueller’s investigation is over; the Democrats are in charge in the House. And the Russia threat looms. The nation’s principal intelligence and law-enforcement agencies have agreed unanimously that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, with the intention of electing Trump, and that Moscow is continuing to meddle. Because of partisan gridlock on Capitol Hill, Congress has not ordered sweeping changes in election security procedures.
Kerrey said the commission’s leaders should be as prominent as possible to demonstrate the issue’s importance. He offered the names of two high-profile candidates to lead the panel: former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. “They’re the names I think of,” Kerrey said. “However you structure this, you need to show the public that this is above politics.
The idea of a commission would almost certainly face opposition from congressional Republicans, including many in the House who have insisted that the Russia threat is overblown or even nonexistent. It also seems more than likely that Trump would oppose congressional legislation to create an independent commission.
