The Senate Intelligence Committee is preparing to question top Obama administration intelligence officials behind closed doors on Wednesday on their explosive assessment that officially accused Russia of meddling in the 2016 presidential election to boost then-candidate Donald Trump.
The committee, led by Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., invited former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan, former National Security Agenda Director Michael Rogers (who retired earlier this year) and former FBI Director James Comey.
Comey, though, plans to skip the closed-door session Wednesday due to a “previously scheduled engagement,” his attorney said.
“This gives staff the month of August in all likelihood to wrap up our investigation and for staff to work intensely while we’re out of here and not getting in their hair."
Comey, who was fired last May, has been on a media blitz in recent weeks promoting his memoir, “A Higher Loyalty,” in which he is highly critical of now-President Trump.
Burr and Warner, who are leading the panel in investigating Russian meddling and coordination with Trump campaign associates in the 2016 presidential election, hope to wrap up their probe by the end of summer.
“This gives staff the month of August in all likelihood to wrap up our investigation and for staff to work intensely while we’re out of here and not getting in their hair,” Burr told reporters last week, referring to Senate members being on summer recess.

Bring it on. Expose em ALL. No matter who is hurt.
My only advise is beware of those who constantly rant, “Nothing” will happen, no one will be held responsible”.
Hm. Didn't know one could DO that. (It just sounds...suspicious)
I believe that is good advice.
This wave is increasing in speed. Enough has been revealed to make it impossible to totally silence it.
Fox’s programs for the past month have had an effect.
At some point the rest of the media (except CNN & MSNBC) will be forced into carrying some of it.
The IG report is due and the Intelligence Committee is becoming more angry as this becomes clearer in scope and depth.
Never before in the history of the nation has such a widespread and high level corruption/conspiracy existed within the Federal Government.
Never.
Well it is not stated yet, but he may have been given total immunity by Special Prosecutor Mueller.
But within what scope is his power to give immunity? Only related to the Russian Investigation?
Comey is in deep dooo.
Bring the handcuffs
I heard a rumor...that BETTER not be true.
I would accept it though, if he sings on EVERYONE up to and including Clapper, Clinton, Brennan, and Obama.
I hope Jeff Sessions is awake and watching.
5.56mm
someone remind me why Sessions hasn’t indicted Comey. I guess the same reason as he hasn’t indicted Hillary or Lynch or Rice.
Yep, what were witnessing here with the wide spread lawless players in the highest levels of government is mind bending historic. You’re correct, none of this is going away, none of this will be brushed under the proverbial rug regardless if the media is the mouth piece for deep state.
This is based on the fact they’ve been deceiving and lying for over 2 years while attempting to criminally undermine and compromise Trump and it didn’t get them anywhere but in a deeper hole.
They need to serve Comey an official subpoena. He can't just walk away from that. Congress is too damn accommodating. They are not completely stupid. They knew in advance that without a subpoena, Comey would be a no-show. Why no subpoena?
How can their Investigation write up take more than a week?
Be warned...Burr and Warner are among those looking for an excuse to impeach the President. I do not expect the hearing to be honest.
“Never before in the history of the nation has such a widespread and high-level corruption/conspiracy existed within the Federal Government.”
Dead on accurate; figures it’s summed up by a Texan. Godspeed FRiend.
Sessions hasn’t indicted anyone because Sessions is a deep state stooge. Don’t get too excited about Burr doing anything that might make waves in the swamp. Although Burr doesn’t give cover the way Sessions does he certainly won’t look under any swamp muck for evidence.
“I do not expect the hearing to be honest.”
Valid point. It will not be televised.
Possibly true, I know there were/are those who thought JFK’s murder was by a Fed agency.
If that was done, it was by a very few people. Otherwise it would long ago been exposed.
Past that, is beyond me.
This incident, spans the globe, is at the highest security levels, conspirators in both parties, lots of foreign money and over a years and a half time line.
Something this big is very hard to contain, but they do have complicit partners in the media.
