FBI Not Giving All Info To Committee Probing Russia, Member Says

We now know, again, that Flynn was woefully wrong.

“If there’s credible evidence that one or more significant Trump administration officials may be coordinating policy with a Russian or Chinese or any other foreign government, then that could certainly open the door to major investigations”, Young added.

June 20: After Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is abruptly fired, Manafort emerges as Trump’s top campaign official.

The intelligence community has assessed that Russia’s hacking of Democratic groups and operatives was carried out to help Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton.

August 18: Manafort tells NBC News he’s “never had a business relationship” with a Ukrainian oligarch.

That same day, Manafort resigns his position on Trump’s campaign.

This week the U.S. and Russian Federation clashed in a vote at the United Nations for the first time since Mr Trump took power.

The campaign was multifaceted but was not directed by Obama himself, the Times sources claimed. Between Nunes’s role on the transition and now his threats to the press?

“As a senator he obviously in his official capacity met with the ambassador”.

Notably, The Times did not report the names of the Trump advisers and Russians who were allegedly involved in the discussions.

Granted there really was an effort by Russian Federation to impact the election but evidence that Trump’s campaign was involved remains elusive. Trump tweets praise of Putin’s move.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said there is nothing to the new report.

“The idea that a presidential campaign may have been in league with Russian Federation, may have been working with them during the electoral process?” “That was it. Plain and simple”.

“Great hire”, said Michael McFaul, U.S. ambassador to Russian Federation under Obama. Flynn was sacked after it was revealed that he misled Vice President Pence and other White House officials about the nature of his discussions with the envoy. As the country’s attorney general, such a probe would come under his remit.

First Manafort then Flynn and now Sessions. The White House and Russian Federation have strongly denied the allegations. “He did not provide full and complete information”. “Jobs!” Trump tweeted triumphantly on Thursday, even as his attorney general Jeff Sessions came under the spotlight for contacts with Russian diplomats at the height of what USA intelligence community has said was a Russian cyber campaign to subvert the United States presidential race.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Thursday, March 2, that he would stay out of any probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election but maintained he did nothing wrong by failing to disclose he met a year ago with Russia’s ambassador.

That could be because the committee hasn’t actually tried to find evidence, as Rep. Adam Schiff of Burbank, the committee’s top Democrat, rightly points out.

And the Washington Post reported now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions met with Russia’s ambassador to the US twice during the 2016 campaign. He said he hadn’t, but it turns out he had met twice with the Russian ambassador, one of those times during the Democratic National Convention. Sessions says the allegation is false.

Ranking Democrat on the House oversight committee, Elijah Cummings, has called for Sessions’ “immediate” resignation.
