The topic is telling the truth and the answers are not forthcoming.
Is there a reason to believe any of this? No one involved with Trump et al has a close association with anything truthful, so just why should we believe this?
Some may see this as attempting to obstruct the workings of the justice system…
So Bannon was just another covfefe boy?
“The White House maintains that congressional committees need to go through an accommodation process with the White House Counsel’s Office before asking about those periods.”
LOL. Setting aside that this assertion is total bullshit, guess who doesn’t have to go through any such process when he questions Bannon.
#GUESS
The communications between the White House and an attorney representing Steve Bannon during his House Intel interview Tuesday were about the scope of interview, and the attorney did not, as AP reported, relay “questions, in real time” to the White House, a White House official and a person familiar with the interview told TPM Wednesday.
Well, that settles that! If someone at the White House says a thing, that makes it true. Or as good as true. In any case, it would be rude to do anything but report as straight fact.
“I can tell you that this White House is following the same practice that many White Houses before us have that have gone back decades, that there is a process that you go through,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at Wednesday’s press briefing. “Any time you have congressional inquiries touching upon the White House, the Congress should consult with the White House prior to obtaining confidential material. This is part of a judicial-recognized process.”
Well, that settles that! If Glower Huckleberry Zeigler says a thing, that makes it true. No need to check it out with any actual lawyers or anyone with institutional knowledge who might be able to shed some light on whether she’s just talking out of her ass.
Another job well done, AP. Crackerjack. Top. Men.
NOPE…well, unless you’re a scared, milquetoast, false-equivalency-peddling AP reporter whose abject credulity suggests you still fervently believe in Santa Claus as an adult.
Maybe it’s just me but as long as Nunes and the Republicans are running the investigation, I don’t trust it. What I’m eagerly anticipating is Mueller time. That’s the only road to get the answers and overcome Republican obstreperousness.
I honestly think the milquetoast, false-quivilency peddlers are in editorial. I imagine them sitting there in their eyeshades reading copy under a tensor light red pen in hand, box of Depends stashed away in a desk drawer going “oh dear!” scratch scratch scratch “Oh my deary, dear, dear!” scratch scratch scratch "Oh heavens, you can’t say that! Why the Eastbumfuck Picayune might refuse to run it if you say that! Someone mght call us biased! scratch scratch scratch.
Sluggo’s gonna have a subpoenaed sit down with Mr. Mueller very soon.
Bullshithole
Sanders at the briefing Wednesday said that “we encourage the committees to work with us to find the appropriate accommodation in order to ensure Congress obtains all the information that they are looking for.”
So do Republicans in Congress know what they are looking for? Or are they just going through the motions and spending our money?
Looks like clear cut criminal obstruction of justice and intimidating a witness to me.
There is something very suspicious, crooked and sleazy going on. Why do McGahn, Bannon, Priebus have the same attorney.
Someone already said that nothing will come out of Senate or House investigations, so we’ll need to move up to Mueller.
I’m getting pretty effing sick and tired about hearing about Trump voters.
How about interviewing everyone else?
House Intelligence Committee member: “Mr. Bannon, during the infamous Trump Tower ‘adoption’ meeting, did Donald Trump Jr. take the Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya to meet personally with President Trump?”
Bannon’s lawyer, on the telephone with the White House: “The next topic is ‘during the infamous Trump Tower adoption meeting, did Donald Trump Jr. take the Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya to meet personally with President Trump?’”
Next press briefing, she’ll probably say Bannon will be unavailable for any Congressional interviews due to being beheaded, while Bannon slinks around in the background.
“When his Majesty says, ‘Let a thing be done,’ it’s as good as done – practically,
it is done – because his Majesty’s will is law. His Majesty says, ‘Kill a
gentleman,’ and a gentleman is told off to be killed. Consequently, that gentleman
is as good as dead – practically, he is dead – and if he is dead, why not say so?”
F U YOU, YOU LYING PIECE OF FILTH!!!
I’m sorry. Was that a bit too harsh? I may be losing my sense of humor.
Why would Congress want to interview people from that shit-hole on Pennsylvania Avenue? They should interview more people from places like Normay.
