Representatives Cheffetz and Cummings give press conference shaming the White House for refusing to provide documents, and suggesting that Michael Flynn may have committed a felony.

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

Reps. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Elijah Cummings (D-MD) held a press conference on Tuesday to knock the Trump administration for denying their requests for documents related to former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. 

“We received a response from the White House refusing to provide any of the documents we requested,” Cummings said at the press conference. “The White House has refused to offer a single piece of paper in response to this committee’s bipartisan request.” 

Cummings also said Flynn might have committed a felony by not disclosing payments he received from foreign governments before he assumed the role of national security adviser. 

“This is a major problem,” Cummings said.

I have to say I am a little surprised to see Chaffetz in front of the cameras talking about this.

I wonder if that means he wants to actually do his job before his quits it altogether?

Wow, when Jason Chaffetz complains that a Republican White House is obstructing an investigation, you KNOW the writing is on the wall.

While we are on the topic of Trump advisers and Russia let me share this tweet with you from the other day.
And once again the noose gets a little tighter.

    Perhaps this is part of Chaffetz's plea deal.

    -------------------
    No. Chaffetz has considered all possible responses to the Flynn situation and has decided that he will reap the maximum personal benefit to himself by throwing Flynn under the bus. Or, as other republicans who know Chaffetz would say, Flynn just got Chaffetzed.

      Perhaps coming clean is Chaffetz's way of preventing himself from being implicated. His days as a Republican would automatically be over because the GOP has no use whatsoever for politicians with principles, so maybe that's why he's saying he'll soon be out of politics.

    With Jason Chaffetz bailing, his committee is suddenly diving into the Trump-Russia scandal

    Even as various House and Senate committees have been moving forward with investigating Donald Trump’s Russia scandal in varying degrees of seriousness, the House Oversight Committee has seemed to be stuck in the mud. And the reason was apparent enough: Republican Jason Chaffetz is its chair, and he must not have wanted a serious investigation. But then out of nowhere last week, Chaffetz announced he’s bailing on Congress. And suddenly his committee is taking Trump-Russia seriously.

    ...If this explains his sudden decision to exit Congress, does it also explain why he’s suddenly allowing his committee do its job during his dwindling remaining time as the head of it? In other words, is Chaffetz trying to avoid severe criminal punishment by belatedly getting on the right side of the scandal?

    Report: Boris Epshteyn was running Russian counterintelligence op within Trump White House

    One month ago Boris Epshteyn quietly resigned from a high ranking position in Donald Trump’s White House, at the end of a week which had seen Congressman Devin Nunes trying to alert Trump that someone from the transition team had been caught on surveillance. It’s led to a number of questions about why Epshteyn suddenly bolted. Now comes a report that asserts Epshteyn was caught running a Russian counterintelligence operation within the White House.

    The intel community source belongs to Claude Taylor, a veteran of the Bill Clinton administration.

    ‘It’s a game to them’: Sources close to White House say ‘staffers do much of their lying for sport’

    “They all lie,” said a conservative journalist with close ties to the West Wing, who described an informal contest to smuggle the biggest whoppers into print. “It’s a game to them.”

    A member of the White House communications team confirmed the situation to one conservative activist who spoke to Politico.

    “They’ll print what they want anyways, so we may as well have fun,” the activist said.

    How do they figure their excuse that he lied to Pence covers Flynn departure ? I've never understood that. Pence is up to his eyeballs in this.

    Trump To Sign Executive Order That Could Shrink National Monuments

    President Trump is expected to sign an executive order Wednesday that could end up shrinking — or even nullifying — some large federal national monuments on protected public lands, as established since the Clinton administration.

    The move is largely seen as a response by the new administration to two controversial, sweeping national monument designations made late in the Obama administration: the new Bears Ears National Monument in Utah considered sacred to Native American tribes and the Gold Butte National Monument in Nevada near the Bundy Ranch, site of the 2014 armed standoff over cattle grazing on public land....

  17. How wonderful would it be if Flynn went to prison. The hateful, sexist little banty rooster with multiple epaulet stars who led chants of "Lock her up" against Hillary Clinton.

    There are no men so bitter and vindictive as the short ugly ones.

    If trump is under investigation he should not be allowed to sign executive orders, spend our money, make nominations or assign, he should just sit there until all has been completed in the investigations. His resignation accepted or impeachment hearings to begin immediately.
