Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on Tuesday released the full transcript from Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson's testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"The innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript are part of a deeply troubling effort to undermine the investigation into potential collusion and obstruction of justice," Feinstein said in a statement. "The only way to set the record straight is to make the transcript public."
The release of the transcript, Feinstein said, was supported by committee Democrats. The move follows committee a decision by Republicans Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham to issue a criminal referral last week against Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the largely unverified "Trump dossier."
This story is developing. Please check back for updates.
IMHO, two fold
To get his answers out there so that subsequent people that are called in front of congress know what to answer so that their stories match.
Secondly, to keep the read democrats (which are few) stirred up by way of the MSM that the collusion of President Trump is real and that he should be impeached. He not only tampered with the election with aid of the Russians, he is in bed with them as well.
This entire dossier is straight from scratch pad for a thrill novel and could not have been written better for an illiterate non thinking public who can be led around by their gentiles. Not only can Simpson NOT remember what he should remember, he remembers items that only things that add to the thrill of the moment.
I have finished 170 pages of 312 and this is unverified drivel from this Fusion GPS and Steele put together what he was directed to by the DNC and McCain.
That would be a republican and it would be Juan McShame
I’m guessing she released the documents on the Senate floor. That gives her congressional immunity as I understand it, although she could be stripped of committee seats and possibly other actions.
She’s a Dem...................
Good comment: Probably the democrats’ actual intention. This way all future witness testimony can be coordinated. And the democrats can be made to appear like they are pushing “visibility” and “honesty” to their media analysis talking points.
If the hearing was held as an Executive Session, it remains “classified” and “non-releasable” until the Chairman okays its’ release, or it has to be done by the Majority of the Committee, or the Majority Party of the committee.
I’ve forgotten the exact procedures but there is usually a vote to “clear” it for the public, or at least a “public version” with classified information either redacted or totally left out of that print version.
Releasing a classified version is a violation of Senate/House rules and can subject a congressperson to various sanctions including expulsion.
Feinstein is the dumbest woman to sit on an intelligence committee and to her, there are no rules to be obeyed. Much like pyscho Rev. Rep. Robert Drinan (D-Mass) did when he illegally went into the Restricted files of the House Internal Security Committee and got out his own file (which should have been a beauty of treason). I think he was censured and later the Pope, a real one, made him chose between being a politician or a clergyman.
Drinan gave up his seat and went on to corrupt the minds of his law students at Georgetown un.
Another Massachusetts Marxist wackjob, Rep. Michael Harrington (D-Mass), released some classified information and I think he was thrown off of that committee. Talk about a strange creature.
I covered Congress for several years and he was not only a red, but an arrogance, nutcase.
Seems that Massachusetts breeds and sends Marxist traitors and psychos to Congress just to stick it to America (John Kerry; Eliz. Warren; Ted “KGB” Kennedy”; Drunko Tippy O’Neill; crazy Boland (Boland Amendment, aimed at saving the communist Sandinistas of Nicaragua from defeat by the freedom-fighters in the 80’s; and many others.
If Congress were to enact a mandatory full-field background check on Congresspeople, about a third of them now in Congress or who just left WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN A SECURITY CLEARANCE AND SOME WOULD HAVE GONE TO JAIL AS COMMUNISTS OR COMMUNIST SYMPATHIZERS, AND A COUPLE AS JIHADIST SUPPORTERS.
I’ve been in this journalist game long enough to know who was red, pinko, stinko, and wacko (or any combination thereof), and they were all Democrats from Abzug, Dellums, Edwards, the Burton Brothers,Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy, much of the Congressional Black Caucus; Michael Barnes (D-Md - Libyan lobbyist and supporter of the Marxist coup group in Grenada under Maurice “Castro” Bishop and the other Castroite bunch of killers under Choard); Kastenmaier; Crockett Jr; Conyers (the top Soviet asset in Congress utside of Abzug); Barbara Lee - Grenada; Barney Frank; etc.
And I’ve only just started to list them.
