WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of U.S. President Donald Trump, arrived on Wednesday for a closed-door interview with the Senate Intelligence Committee that was likely to focus on a Moscow Trump Tower project and a meeting with a Russian lawyer who claimed to have information helpful for his father’s 2016 campaign.Asked if he had come to the Senate interview to correct his previous testimony to lawmakers, Trump Jr. told reporters: “Nothing to correct.”

The Senate panel, which is chaired by Republican Senator Richard Burr, is conducting a bipartisan investigation into Russian interference in U.S. politics, specifically the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Bush League Republicans hate President Trump because he sides with the citizens and the rule of law and is disrupting the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).

Trump Jr. for U.S. President.

The U.S. President’s son is eligible for President.

Put him in power over the RINOs.

The key is...they are not looking for answers. All but the most spittle-lipped slavering Leftists fully understand there is no collusion between Trump/Trump Team and Russians.

This is about dragging things out, muddying the water, creating doubt, generating false narratives, to the point the average voter is going to be so glassy-eyed they just won’t care and will agree to almost anything.

The Left is a criminal enterprise. If there is indeed any hope for this country, the public will be shown just how true that is with the things they have done in their efforts to grab and hold power.

I hope.

You can blame McConnell for not kicking Burr out of the chairmanship. That would be fair.

Sorry, Tom Cotton is aiding and abetted this latest assault on POTUS and his supporters. He’s free to resign from this committee and/or sound the alarm. That he has not tells you all you need to know about where his loyalty lies. I”ll buy you a clue: he is loyal to Trump hating K Street lobbyists and not Main Street Trump voters. It’s obvious he has Presidential aspirations and does not want to get on the wrong side of the Trump hating GOP donor class.

Burr is chairman and made the deal. Cotton didn’t have a say.

Maybe so, but the turtle had a say, and that piece of swamp drool, did nothing. He could have shut this down with a coupla words, "It's over".

“even more questions will not change the out com.”

It does, however, increase the odds of misremembering the exact phrasing that was used to answer the same question 20 times before just with slightly different phrasing each time

“There are other GOP Senators on this committee. “Conservative” Tom Cotton in particular has been AWOL on the Mueller Coup and a huge disappointment. Sadly, he’s adapted to the swamp like many other TEA Party candidates.”

My guess is that the way that it works that the “leadership” tells the newbies, you can either go along to get along, or you can sit out your six year term with nothing to show for it and be turned out of office in favor of a “more pliable” person.
So, it will remain as it is, until the voters decide that 30 years in the Senate may be a bit too long and start the process of replacement. Unfortunately, I am betting that the chances of getting rid of enough of “the leadership” in a chunk won’t happen quickly enough to really cause a fundamental change. It has become an intractable, insidious process that is robbing the country of any real progress that doesn’t comport with what the people in the US Chamber of Communists desire. And so, at the end of the day, only another revolution will put things right. I begin to understand why people finally resort to killing their leaders, because it’s about the only way to have a clean slate from which to start over. And there I have thought for all of my life that we were fundamentally different that Mexico, when we really aren’t.

The Russian honey pot......Natasha Veselnitskaya....was barred from entering the United States.

Loretta Lynch, Obama’s Attorney General, gave this Russian agent a waiver in order to enter the country.

Why? Because Lynch, along with her boss Obama, were, and are, part of the coup against President Trump and were trying to set him along with Don Jr., Eric Trump, Jared Kutschner, etc.

Natasha Veselnitskaya was also closely connected to Fusion GPS, the peddler of the false dossier, and Glenn Simpson.

It all stinks to high heaven.

I said that already. Cotton can’t be blamed.

There are many worthless Senators. Burr is one of the worst.
Good riddance to him.

“There are many worthless Senators.”

They are ALL worthless! Name me one that you would vote to keep? We should shut down the Senate and save the money we waste on the lot of them. Or at least repeal the 17th Amendment, because the voters have proven that they are too stupid to elect decent Senators.
