HARTFORD. Conn. (WTNH)– A top Connecticut lawmaker wants to hear from Attorney General Jeff Sessions under oath on the Russia investigation. U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal made his case for that Friday.
On Thursday, we had that bombshell testimony from former FBI Director Jim Comey. Friday, we have Senator Richard Blumenthal calling for the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General to come testify in front of his committee.
Blumenthal was there in the audience Thursday as Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Blumenthal is not on that committee, so he could not ask questions. He did say that Comey painted a picture of a president abusing his power.
Blumenthal says Comey also pointed out how his bosses in the justice department should have insured the FBI’s independence as it investigates possible ties between the Trump administration and Russian hacking of the election. So Blumenthal wants to have the two top men in the justice department come and testify before the committee he is on, the Senate Judiciary Committee to talk about their actions.
“The failure of the Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy, to protect the FBI, to take action to safeguard the FBI,” said Blumenthal.
You may remember Sessions has had to recuse himself from anything to do with the Russia probe because of his ties to Russia, and Rod Rosenstein was the person who wrote the memo President Trump originally cited as the reason he fired Comey, before he said that he intended to fire Comey all along.
No word on when a hearing like that would take place, but Blumenthal says it is crucial to keep investigating the Russia ties, because the same interference could happen again in upcoming elections.
“”””Blumenthal says Comey also pointed out how his bosses in the justice department should have insured the FBI’s independence as it investigates possible ties between the Trump administration and Russian hacking of the election.”””””
But he is ok with Lynch telling Comey to back off from investigating the hildabeast.
This is what happens when you don’t set the agenda day to day. They set it.
Blumenthal - stolen valor scumbug
The sovereign power of the FBI so long as it does not look into the Clinton email “matter.”
STOP WASTING OUR TIME AND MONEY WITH THIS HORSESHIT!
Can we call on Blumenthal to be called to testify for war hero impersonation crimes?
Time to dig up dirt on this POS. Any old sex scandal will do. Whether it is true or not. That’s what THEY do.
Fight fire with fire.
Rod Rosenstein should be fired in my humble opinion.
No.
Its time for the adults in the room to locate their tentacles, tell the Democrats they have election promises to meet and STOP THIS DAMN STUPID FARCE!!!!
ENOUGH!!!!
No.

ENOUGH!!!!
It’s time for Sessions to announce they are opening an investigation into possible criminal wrongdoing by former director Comey.
Amen!!! My thoughts exactly! And just that loud too.
Republicans will cave on this.
Count on it.
There is no will to support Trump. And, no will to overtly condemn him. They’ll just cave to any and all political demands made by Democrats.
That way they can deny leading the efforts in their next election.
Get Lynch in there first you scumbag leftist weasel.
What about Loretta Lynch?
Is Bloomy going to cover his Viet Nam timeline?
Blumenthal’s one of the Senators bribed on the Iran deal.
Gee whiz. RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA
