Susan Rice Abruptly Backs Out of Tuesday Testimony Before House Panel
thegatewaypundit ^ | Cristina Laila

Susan Rice will no longer be appearing in front of the House committee on Tuesday to answer questions about her unmasking of Trump and his private associates.

Rice was expected to give a testimony to the House committee probing her unmasking scandal. It has apparently been postponed.

Fox News reports:

Susan Rice is no longer expected to visit Capitol Hill on Tuesday for a meeting with the House committee probing allegations she “unmasked” President Trump associates in Russian meddling probes.

Rice had been expected to face tough questions on her role in the matter while serving as then-President Barack Obama’s national security adviser. Trump alleges Rice may have committed a crime by asking government analysts to disclose the names of his associates documented in intelligence reports.

Fox News was initially told Rice would be giving closed-door testimony Tuesday before the Republican-led House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

But that session has apparently been postponed.

“The MSM is thoroughly corrupt as witnessed by endlessly hearing about Russians while they never, ever investigate, or even mention, unmasking, Susan Rice, the collusion between Loretta Lynch and James Comey.”

Rice, Lynch, and Comey have committed indictable offenses, but the MSM is only interested in overthrowing the duly elected president.

I guess I don’t understand the laws in your country. It seems if anyone doesn’t feel like complying with those in authority, they just say thanks, but no thanks.

Geez - if ever I feel like flouting the law, I’m doing it in your country!

BOLO: where is our AG. Calling all cars, be on the alert for our alleged AG. Last seen seizing a bunch of pot plants in someone’s garden in DC.

Hello, anyone home at the Session’s office.

Judy, you better cover a few of your get out of jail free cards. I presume you are a female, so, you have a partial one. For it to be truly active you must be of certain ethnic groups, if not, your card is worthless. If you happen by chance to be a conservative or with conservative leanings, plan on a cross bar vacation. If you happen to belong to a christian church, that cross bar motel may just be along side the needle chamber if you commit a capital crime.

Will they issue a subpoena, like they have threatened others with?

Yawn....

Hmmm. Thanks for the information. Going by your clarifications, they’d needle me faster than you can say “Make America Great Again”.

Is this because what changed between Rice agreeing to testify and now is the discovery of DoJ prior knowledge of the Russian lawyer, and their involvement in using the meeting as the excuse for wiretapping Trump?

My point exactly.

And after all these many months all of us sit here like stupid idiots thinking that Republicans will ever indict or do anything. As usual, and for no compelling reason, this drags on and on and on. It will continue to do so until it just fades away. I would bet my life on it.

The IRS illegally targeted Conservatives, yet the head of the IRS, John Koskinen, to this day remains on the job.

Lois Lerner never was held accountable and never faced justice.

Nobody was ever held accountable or even lost their job over Benghazi.

It is fact that Hillary and Huma broke the law with the server and sending classified information which was hacked by foreign nationals -- nothing ever happened and justice was never served - and never will be served. So what's the point of any investigation?

Republicans continue to play this game of holding show trials and justice is never served. It is all a scam. Only the rubes haven't quite figured it out yet. Simply exam the same pattern over the last 20 years.

Sessions is the main player here. He is AWOL. There has been no audit of the Obama departments. No records retrieved. No “lost” money accounted for.

Actually you have no way of knowing what you claim is true, no way at all.

Here’s a test.

Name one well known Democrat who has been held accountable and brought to justice for any illegal action in the last 20 years.

For comparison, recall Scooter Libby who was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in the Plame Affair on March 6, 2007 and was sentenced to 30 months in prison and fined $250,000.

That's what happens when a criminal who should be indicted and subpoenaed to appear is instead offered an invitation to a closed door 'hearing'. What a frigging joke this party is!

"Yes, we can “handle the truth.”"

Sure we can. We just won't get it from this bunch under ANY circumstances.

1) delay
2) delay
3) delay
4) say “this is old news, can’t we move on?”

This is the standard tactic they learned from the clintons.

There is even a web site whose name comes from this - MoveOn.org.

This news is remarkable in that there is no mention of the grounds given to or by the Committee on why the Rice session was "postponed".

There obviously must have been a written message communicated to the committee chairman from the Rice camp as to why she wasn't going to appear.

Was there one? If so, what did it say?

Are CNN's and PMSNBC's lefty commentators raising this pertinent question?

(I haven't heard a thing..... has anybody?)

It works only if you are a liberal. They have automatic immunity.
