Schiff says WH was ‘duplicitous’ on Russian Federation
The Senate Intelligence Committee promptly rejected the request.
“Anybody (especially Fake News media) who thinks that Repeal & Replace of ObamaCare is dead does not know the love and strength in R Party!”, Trump tweeted.
The FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees are investigating claims of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians who hacked Democratic Party officials close to nominee Hillary Clinton – a sprawling set of probes that now involve the recent actions of other officials. John Cornyn, told CNN’s Manu Raju any talk of granting Flynn immunity for testimony, as Flynn’s lawyers have sought, is “premature”.
In public there appears to be little hope for House investigators – Sen.
Last week, Chaffetz said the former White House National Security Adviser should not be granted immunity while an active investigation into President Trump and Russian Federation is underway.
As national security adviser, Rice would have regularly received intelligence reports and been able to request the identities of Americans whose communications were intercepted.
Did Donald Trump collude with Russian Federation to defeat Hillary Clinton?
While unnecessarily lying has become something of a badge of honor in the Age of Trump, Flynn is on the outside looking in these days not because of a gross security breach, but because he dishonored the vice president by fibbing when asked whether he had chatted with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislak.
It certainly is an attempt to distract and to hide the origin of the materials, to hide the White House’s hand.
An once Nunes viewed the information, head realized there was much more.
But the wounds surrounding his committee of the last two weeks have hardly healed – behind the scenes, lawmakers have expressed skepticism with each new report that comes out, saying they want to review the evidence for themselves.
Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence Committee, said Friday his panel was “deeply mindful of the interests of the Department of Justice in the matter”. Then there was Devin Nunes, the chair of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, sharing information with the White House, because it might defuse the Obama wiretapping controversy, that he kept from his committee. Now this is a very interesting point: How does the White House know that these are the same materials that were shown to the chairman, if the White House wasn’t aware what the chairman was being shown? . “The White House is not a whistleblower and nothing that I was shown justifies such duplicitous conduct”.
President Trump insisted that he had reason to believe his allegations were true, and several former intelligence officials spoke out in his defense. Multiple congressional committees and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are looking into Russia’s involvement. “I can say I don’t agree with the chairman’s characterization”.
“There are people here who want to go to war with Russian Federation, they just say they hate Russian Federation for whatever reason”, Rohrabacher added.
