Sen. Dianne Feinstein unilaterally releases Fusion GPS testimony on Russian-Trump dossier
CNBC ^ | Published 13 Mins Ago 1:24 PM ET Tue, 9 Jan 2018 | Staff

Posted on 01/09/2018 10:26:23 AM PST by Red Badger

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."

Did Feinstein violate Senate rules, etc.? Maybe sanction her, remove her clearances, kick her off the committee?

Not sure I mind the release.

We should be pretty exhausted by now of these closed door hearings that shut out the public who is paying for the damn things.

How many times have we said that the public hearings result is always nothing but theater for politicians to perform politics?

I am more than ready for some facts and given the silence by Democrats, I believe we may have some good ones.

That just means that it was going to come out anyway and this lets her grandstand and pretend it looks bad for Trump.

In reality, the more truth that is exposed, the worse Democrats will always look.

Dianne Feinstein and the demorats supporting this release evidencing once again their great need to ‘control’ and determine that it is their play book and ONLY their play book that’s to be seen and heard.

.....”Did she even have the right to do so?”...

Since when do they care if anything is a right that they do? They do as they please because there is no accountability anywhere or to anyone in the arena they’re playing.

No, members of Congress cannot be impeached. Each house can discipline its own members, up to and including expulsion.
