‘Sneaky Dianne Feinstein’ Says She Was 'Pressured' to Release Fusion GPS Testimony
Breitbart News ^ | 10 Jan 2018 | Sean Moran

Posted on 01/10/2018 2:38:22 PM PST by mairdie

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) apologized to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) for releasing Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson’s testimony without giving the Iowa senator advance notice.

Sen. Feinstein told reporters on Wednesday, “I meant to tell him, and I didn’t have a chance to tell him, and that concerns me. I just got pressured, and I didn’t do it.”

I’ve known Dianne for almost 50 years.

Never known her to be anyone else’s tool.

Whatever she does is likely solely for her own purpose. You can take that to the bank.

There are a lot of these Deep Staters who thought they were just “going along” and didn’t realize that they had sold their Soul to the Devil.

Bull crap... the vile POS did it to assist all of the Demonic Party-leaning scumbags to “get their stories straight” before they testify.

How so? Releasing is not blocking.

Oh, she just had to do it. She could not do otherwise, her moral standards demanded it.

Snark is always its own justification.

Correct.

She was "pressured" by the imminent testimony of several FBI and DOJ officials involved in a seditious conspiracy against the United States.

This only saves them from a very limited exposure to perjury, but it won't save them from prison.

Nope, her obstruction of justice has drawn her into the conspiracy.

So then everyone can be on the same page on how to answer questions.

It is obstruction.

If you make sworn testimony available to scheduled witnesses with the intent of allowing them to coordinate their responses, that has all of the required elements of obstruction.

How so? Releasing is not blocking.

Because it allows her to tip off other witnesses as to what their answers should look like.

It certainly looks like that's what Senator Feinstein was doing—giving other witnesses a heads up so that their testimony won't contradict that of others.

There no way she should have released those transcripts without consulting the committee chairman. And precisely who was Senator Feinstein "pressured" by?

This stinks to high heaven if you ask me...

Witness tampering? By releasing the testimony, she gave a cheat sheet to other witnesses on the same subject.

While no doubt the intent, she's only saved them from a very limited exposure do to perjury.

She can't save them from participating in a seditious conspiracy, perpetrating a fraud on a Federal Court, or violations of the 702(16)(17) rules governing the use of NSA surveillance.

Nothing can save them from those charges.

It totally flopped. Nothing in it is beyond contrived. I see the release as helping on the issue that it was all bull crap made up with Russian collusion and paid for by Democrats. What changed?

Tom Steyer, the billionaire leftist who is funding an Impeach Trump campaign, has been reported to be considering a run against Feinstein.

Steyer is also connected to Fusion GPS. He used them to help pass a ballot iniative in California to help support clean energy projects. (One wonders how much VC Steyer has invested in those same projects.)

That is probably what Trump was getting at in his tweet about Feinstein facing a tough primary.

She’s trying to save FBI and DOJ officials from perjury, for whomever’s purpose. That is obstruction of justice.

Sure, others inline to be interviewed NOW know what NOT to contradict.

This is as bad as the FBI interviewing Hillary’s 4 top aids together with a single lawyer for them.
