House Intel Committee Subpoenas Michael Flynn
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Thursday subpoenaed retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and former Trump Deputy Campaign Manager Rick Gates for documents and testimony.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the panel’s chairman, claims the pair have been uncooperative in Congress’s “oversight” investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
“As part of our oversight work, the House Intelligence Committee is continuing to examine the deep counterintelligence concerns raised in Special Counsel Mueller’s report, and that requires speaking directly with the fact witnesses,” Schiff said in a statement. “Both Michael Flynn and Rick Gates were critical witnesses for Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation, but so far have refused to cooperate fully with Congress.”
For Flynn, it’s easy-peasy. His sentencing is yet to complete the trial.
He can reject the subpoena and tell them to re-issue it to Emmet Sullivan.
Gates is a citizen and taxpayer. It is within his rights as such to indicate that he will discuss the campaign with his Representative and that their subpoena is unenforceable.
Flynn has pending charges. He can say anything. The Dems can’t question him about anything. Where are the Dems getting their legal advice? Trump set them up again with this “information” Ruse. Stuff is finally starting to happen and the Dems have nothing! I am sure the DS is trying to start a war with Iran to CYA. I think DJT has this figured out to the letter. Gonna take a lot of these Scumbags down.
