HIC Says Leaks And Russia Probes On Hold Until James Comey And Rogers Again Testify On Capitol Hill
IWB ^ | Pamela Williams

Posted on 03/29/2017 5:32:51 PM PDT by davikkm

Devin Nunes Chief of the House Intelligence Committee has put the Committee on hold in their investigations of Trump Transition Team leaks and Russia/Trump probe. So Comey and Rogers are holding up major investigations. It seems this would be embarrassing to Comey, but honestly after just watching his questioning on Capitol Hill on March 20, 2017 by Trey Gowdy, I am questioning the mental health of Comey.

In trying to understand who could have briefed President Obama of the Trump surveillance which ended up in two newspapers, Gowdy repeatedly questioned Comey and gave him every chance to tell the truth. He just can’t seem to do it, and he must be in deep himself to be this secretive. In fact, it seems to me that he himself could have briefed President Obama of Trump surveillance.

The good news is the House Intelligence Committee’s probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 elections, including potential ties between the Trump team and the Kremlin, is effectively on hold. There will no more questioning of witnesses until the two spy chiefs return to Capitol Hill for a still-unscheduled private briefing. They failed to show up for their private hearing with the Committee on March 28, 2017. So Comey has it all in his hands at this point.

So all they have to do is refuse to appear, and the investigation stays on hold forever?

Bad move.

And don’t tell me about Congressional subpoenas. Don’t go there. That’s never going to happen. Don’t even dream of it.

Congressional subpoenas are for Democrats to issue against Republicans.

They do not want to talk, so now it is on hold. This will go on for a long time. That way they can keep this in the news and keep on accusing Trump.

pfft!

Maybe he can, but they can still refuse. The MSM will then explode in the biggest love-fest you've ever seen.

If DJT fires Comey after that, it will be called a "Wednesday night massacre" (or whatever day of the week it occurs on), and be characterized as a dastardly move of retaliation and political opportunism.

This clue will hang around till 2020 and Dems will use it as an election issue,

Nunes needs to produce the smoking gun as soon as possible or they will recommend him for the coo coo nest

What happened to the subpoena? This is ridiculous. An FBI director is obstructing justice.

Yeah, have they been subpoenaed? If they have, and do not appear, have them arrested.

Proposed new law:
Any gov’t employee or contractor gives up all 5th amendment rights for anything involved in their government service, employment or official duties, and for any formal or informal discussions of pertinent issues with anyone inside or outside of the government during their service. They also consent to lie detector use during any questioning by any branch of the government pertinent to any such service.

‘Obstructing Justice’ ceased to be a thing when Justice ceased as a concept in the last 8 years. That’s why Jeff has to bring it roaring back to life ASAP, in DC, before these snakes slither off to non-extradition nations, which they’re planning as we speak. I’d rather fight them over here than over ‘there’.

You are dreaming.

The Democrats would vote against such a law. Not a single Democrat would vote for it.

The Democrat-MSM would then accuse President Trump of setting up a "two-track system of Constitutional rights" in the United States, "the first time a President has ever proposed such a thing."

The Democrats and MSM would go berserk with this. "What's Next?" they would ask. Attenuated Constitutional Rights for Welfare recipients? For "Gays"? For "immigrants" ?

Ask them why if they had an investigation into Trump in July why didn’t they wiretap him if they thought it was serious? Why would the FBI put us at Risk by not doing their jobs.

This way he has to explain why there wasn’t really an investigation or why they aren’t doing their jobs.

***************

They are thwarting the will of congress, refusing to appear before the duly elected representatives of the American people. These people don’t seem to think they are accountable to anyone.

And then there are politicized judges around this country over riding the president and essentially making policy on their own.

The government is becoming dysfunctional, unaccountable and working at cross purposes with itself. We are truly in an ever deepening constitutional crisis. Its no longer so hard to understand how the system can break down and civil wars break out.
