Scarce targets curb Dem hopes for House gains, despite Trump

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi asked Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday to join her in opposing their parties' use in the campaign of documents that were leaked in hacking attacks. "We must come together to say that defending our democracy from Russia's meddling is more important than any advantage or disadvantage in this election", she wrote this week.

A GOP aide said Ryan can not control campaign ads by Republican committees that by law are barred from consulting with the party's candidates.

Next week, Pence - the governor of IN and a former congressman - will head to Capitol Hill to address the House Republican Conference. Trump later said his call that Russian Federation find Clinton's emails was sarcastic.

Federal officials have been investigating electronic break-ins into Democratic Party computers by hackers believed to be linked to Russian Federation.

Now, after a summer that has included an official complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics over fundraising emails sent by sit-in attendees during their protest and some 50 Democrats holding a "National Day of Action on Gun Violence Prevention" in their home districts while on break, Congress resumed session this week, and both sides seem itching for a fight. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida relinquished her post as Democratic Party chief in July after the documents showed the organization tilting toward Clinton in her campaign against Vermont Sen.

"Earlier this year, Donald Trump spoke to the House Republican conference and had a productive conversation with our members", Ryan said.

Returning from a two-month vacation, House Republicans are mulling censure for Democrats who protested on the body's floor calling for votes on gun measures. DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Lujan said in a statement of his own that "NRCC's use of documents stolen by the Russians plays right into the hands of one of the United States' most risky adversaries".
