POTUS could pardon them right?
“The gagged FBI informant needs to TESTIFY! He needs to go LIVE on national TV”
CNN would have Hillary on afterwards for balance.
I would think so, but then there may be some delay between testifying, to indictment, to actual pardon.
From the transcript: C-Span...
(sorry about the CAPS. That is how they do their transcripts)
CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY:
I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION THAT LOOKS LIKE HISTORY, BUT IT WAS IN THE NEWS RECENTLY.
YESTERDAY, I BELIEVE, ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS AND RECENT NEWS REPORTS, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS AN ONGOING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FOR BRIBERY, EXTORTION, AND MONEY LAUNDERING INTO OFFICIALS FOR THE RUSSIAN COMPANY MAKING THE PURCHASE OF URANIUM ONE.
THAT PURCHASE WAS APPROVED DURING THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION AND RESULTED IN THE RUSSIANS OWNING 20% OF AMERICA’S URANIUM MINING CAPACITY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO FIND OUT HOW THE RUSSIAN TAKEOVER OF THE AMERICAN URANIUM WAS ALLOWED TO OCCUR, DESPITE CRIMINAL CONDUCT BY THE RUSSIAN COMPANY THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION APPROVED TO MAKE THE PURCHASE?
A.G. SESSIONS:
MR. CHAIRMAN, WE WILL HEAR YOUR CONCERNS. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL TAKE SUCH ACTIONS AS IS APPROPRIATE, I KNOW, AND I WOULD OFFER THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE GONE TO JAIL IN THAT TRANSACTION ALREADY, BUT THE ARTICLE TALKS ABOUT OTHER ISSUES.
SO WITHOUT CONFIRMING OR DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF ANY PARTICULAR INVESTIGATION, I WOULD SAY THAT I HEAR YOUR CONCERNS AND THEY WILL BE REVIEWED.
CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY:
I THINK I KNOW WHY YOU ARE PROBABLY RELUCTANT TO GO INTO SOME DETAIL ON THAT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT DEPUTY ATTORNEY ROSENSTEIN DIRECTLY SUPERVISED A CRIMINAL CASE WHEN HE WAS U.S. ATTORNEY IN MARYLAND.
I DO NOT THINK IT WOULD BE PROPER FOR HIM TO SUPERVISE A REVIEW OF HIS OWN CONDUCT, DO YOU?
A.G. SESSIONS:
IT WOULD BE HIS DECISION. HE IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND ABILITY. IF HE FEELS HE HAS AN INABILITY TO PROCEED WITH ANY INVESTIGATION, IT WOULD BE HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION, AND SHOULD CONSULT, AS I TOLD YOU I WOULD AND AS I HAVE DONE, WITH THE SENIOR ETHICS PEOPLE AT THE DEPARTMENT.
CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY:
REPORTS SUGGEST THAT THE CLINTON FOUNDATION RECEIVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES IN THE TRANSACTION. BILL CLINTON RECEIVED $500,000 FOR A SPEECH IN MOSCOW, JUNE 2010, FROM THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT ALIGNED BANK, THE SAME MONTH THAT RUSSIA BEGAN THE URANIUM ACQUISITION PROCESS.
THIS FACT PATTERN RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT IMPROPER POLITICAL INFLUENCE ON THE PROCESS BY THE PREVIOUS — BY THE CLINTONS DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
HAS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FULLY INVESTIGATED WHETHER THE RUSSIANS COMPROMISED THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S DECISIONS TO SMOOTH THE WAY FOR TRANSACTIONS, AND IF NOT, WHY NOT?
A.G. SESSIONS:
WE ARE WORKING HARD TO MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE IN THE DEPARTMENT.
IT WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO COMMENT ON ANY ONGOING INVESTIGATION.

Absolutely nothing will come of this, this Dog & Pony show is for campaign commercials.
Blah, blah blah
Call me for the perp walk, if it ever happens.
Headline “Clinton Informant Talking to Congress” is extremely misleading to say the least.
What was written in the article is that “Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., threatened to use subpoena power to get access to a former FBI informant in the case who apparently has not yet been released from a nondisclosure agreement.”
But But ,Hillary said this was all Debunked . Debunked by who and when ,LOL
It sure is a major scandal that MSM is trying to hide.
Would that be Hillary “Cold Cuts” Clinton?
Jeff Sessions has got to go.
The informant has apparently been anxious to share what he knows but has been threatened by the FBI and DOJ.
Note that the convictions related to the informant’s work were only completed in late 2015, just in time to avoid Democrat Russia scandal news during the 2016 election. A gag order during the campaign was very convenient.
I suspect that the Russia collusion story would have been pulled on Jeb, Cruz, or anyone who was the GOP nominee.
Can’t be. Folks here were actually “thanking God” for Russia last year. And Putin.
Exact words. “Thank God for Putin”
Yeah, he’s the best.
A cruise under the arctic ice to inspect the bottom side of the icebergs?
FBI informant dies tragically on once in a life time cruise under arctic ice.
[tomorrow]
Good thing Sessions is really going after.....MS-13!
Freaking hang them high
He wants to talk, and you can’t punish anyone for taking the 5th if he did. The real question is, will he survive long enough to testify? He might just suddenly beat himself to death with a crowbar, or shoot himself in the back at a distance of 10 paces. Such things have happened in matters pertaining to the Clintons.
Indictments are in order for the embezzlement of millions of dollars worth of Uranium.
I bet Sessions is indeed investigating. Trump I'm sure is urging him to do so after how the dems treated him.
Gut feeling, this is LOW hanging fruit. 2018 elections right around the corner. My guess, there are republicans wanting this to come out as well.
