House Judiciary Committee Hires Trump Legal Critics for Investigations

[j-mac]

No, Congress didn't proceed with an honest and thorough investigation. The shameful lackluster 'investigation' done by the Republican-led committees have shown to be nothing more than going through the motions to give the public an appearance that they were doing their job of oversight. It was a waste of taxpayer money and time, but it served one purpose, that was to convince Trump's base that something was being done and that their investigations would ultimately prove Trump's innocence in the matter of collusion or conspiracy.

Specifically, the investigation done by the House Intelligence Committee led by Devin Nunes called witnesses to testify but when some of those witnesses refused to cooperate by answering questions, they were never compelled to do so. Corey Lewandowski, Hope Hicks and Steve Bannon are three witnesses that may be called back and subpoenaed to answer questions under oath that the previously refused to answer. The appeals of Democrats on that committee to either call further witnesses or use subpoenas to compel people to answer questions were rejected by the Republican-led committee. In April 2018, The House intelligence committee concluded its Russia investigation and release a heavily redacted copy of its full report clearing Trump's campaign of any wrongdoing.

Intelligence committee ranking Democrat Adam Schiff complained about the limitations on witness interviews, the avenues of investigation the committee didn't pursue, the subpoenas it couldn't issue and other restrictions that he said meant Republicans didn't lead a real process. Quote: "It’s ultimately up to Robert Mueller to determine if there is a crime. But Democrats have a separate obligation “to make sure that the president of the United States is working in the national interest, that he is not motivated by some pecuniary interest, or fear of compromise or actual compromise." The investigation led under the direction of Adam Schiff will go into the financials of Trump and will also subpoena those witnesses who were previously unwilling to be forthcoming.

You people are straight up Stalinist....You've all spent two plus years now trying to criminalize Republican politics, now you are moving to Lavrentiy Beria tactics....And the amazing thing is applauding it while you destroy this country's founding principles....

There used to be a saying "have you no decency sir?" This is just the type of circus under democrat control in the house, and a marked shift toward Socialism in the ranks of the clown car of Democrat Presidential candidates that I can only hope will wake the people to Democrat America hating, and destructive plans.

Doesn't matter. All they want to do is raise more spin, speculation, hyperbole and innuendo. 2020, remember?

Its like a magic act they have to divert the left's attention. Now that the Russia collusion/conspiracy is crumbling they need something else to divert attention from an improving economy etc. So they turn to the newest outrage to keep their audience's attention , their base, looking one direction when they should be looking the other. Judging by the response here its working. :lol:

LOL! The house investigation was a sham. You have absolutely zero idea what you're talking about.

Watch the criminal referrals after Burr is appointed.

Top Dem disagrees with Senate commitee on Russia investigation’s findings

The Senate Intelligence Committee has not found “factual evidence” that the Trump campaign cooperated with the Russians during the 2016 presidential election, its chairman said Tuesday.

“We have no factual evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia,” Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) said.

The ranking Democrat on the committee, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, disagreed with that assessment but declined to offer his own view of where matters stand.

“I’m not going to get into any conclusions I’ve reached because my basis of this has been that I’m not going to reach any conclusion until we finish the investigation,” he said.

“And we still have a number of the key witnesses to come back.”
