The Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will still be interviewed as part of the committee’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
“Kushner is still going to be interviewed,” Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, of Iowa, said at a town hall meeting in western Iowa. “We’re getting some more documents, and that’s not done.”
Grassley assured constituents Friday that the interview would happen just days after expressing hesitation that his committee could easily secure a voluntary interview with Kushner after his Democratic counterpart, Senator Dianne Feinstein, published a 312-page transcript detailing a private interview with the founder of Fusion GPS, the organization behind the so-called Trump dossier. Grassley said Friday that the committee is just waiting on documents that Kushner has delayed in handing over before conducting the interview.
“We’re going to do that,” Grassley said as an Iowan rebuked him over the committee’s five-month delay in interviewing Kushner. “Right now, Senator Feinstein is wanting more documents, and we wait until we get the documents, go through the documents, then we have a basis for the interviews that we’re going to have.”
While we are on the topic it appears that Paul Manafort and his associate , Richard Gates, have a shiny new court date to look forward to.

U.S. Special Counsel in the Russia probe Robert Mueller will request a trial date of May 14 for Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort and Manafort’s associate Richard Gates, Mueller said in a court filing in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Friday.
Just a reminder that while all of these distractions about Trump's racism and piggish behavior are dominating the news cycle that the wheels of justice are still slowly moving forward.
OT - Joe Biden/ Oprah Winfrey 2020
ReplyDeleteHey, $arah, because we know you read here, when you show up to your lovefest in Denton, remember it's okay to wear the colors, but flag boots, anything flag on your person, is disrespect of flag etiquette that you claim to know and love. That includes MOH in the onesie. GOT it???
DeleteNot in response to you, 12:05 PM.
DeleteSorry.
I heard a reporter saying Oprah's little community is gone and it may not come back. It is great that some structures did survive. Mother Nature tore up the landscape.
DeleteTrump may not want to talk about it, climate change and all. He likse Oprah, you would think he would have something consoling for her and her neighborhood.
Biden is a nice guy. Too nice. He’s certainly qualified.
DeleteBut he also has baggage and is no sure thing to get elected.
I personally love the "it's all you libs' fault that we ended up here" troll rant that you let through, Gryph, of course it is. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't see that on this thread but that sounds like Alicia (our resident mentally ill troll).
DeleteO.T.
ReplyDeleteRacist women at Starbucks (Walnut Creeks, Ca) explodes after hearing young women speaking Korean. Escalates until police are called. Creates a nasty scene. Trump voter. She is part of the disease in this country. Hillary was so kind calling them deplorables. They really are ignorant vile hateful shitheads. They will not get 'better'.
Those two students daring to speak yheir native languag3 to one another (and the Starbucks employees who intervened on their behalf) could run intellectual circles around that bitch.
DeleteLooking forward to that bitch, Karma, catching up with both Jared and Ivanka. She could have found some redemption had she been able to come clean about her childhood and her work in Trump business.
