The House Intelligence Committee is working to reschedule a hearing on Russia with members of the Obama administration, including former acting Attorney General Sally Yates.
The committee announced Friday that it has invited Yates, along with former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, to testify before the panel. The open hearing would be scheduled after May 2, the committee said.
The three had been scheduled to testify in March, but Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) abruptly canceled the session after the Trump administration raised concerns about it. Nunes has since stepped aside from leading the Intelligence Committee’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the presidential election, with Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) taking the helm.
The panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, has been urging Republicans to reschedule the hearing — and has hinted that Yates’ testimony could be damaging for President Donald Trump.
Oh I think we can all rest assured that Yates' testimony will be damaging for Donald Trump.
That's why Nunes canceled her testimony the first time.
Personally I am pretty excited to hear what Yates has to say. It should be very enlightening.
I hope they have her under protection
ReplyDeleteThat was my first thought as well.
DeleteMine too! Plus, I worry for Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell - both very anti Trump (MSNBC - evening shows)!

Attorney General Sally Yates has more integrity and courage then trumps Gestapo .The Gestapo will break the law in order to win.
ReplyDeleteI wish her well and safe.
Remember though, while the White House was openly saying they looked forward to Ms Yates testifying, they sent her a letter saying anything she would could testify about was covered by attorney client privilege. So I want to see if she answered all questions, especially regarding mike Flynn, or she has to cite privilege and refuse to answer
ReplyDeleteTrump and stumps are doomed. He is over and out.

ReplyDelete"excited to here" should be "excited to HEAR"
So much is coming down the pike. Yates will nail the coffin on what Trump/Pence knew about Flynn and WHEN!
