Schiff Releases 57 Transcripts From House Intel Trump-Russia Probe | Talking Points Memo

Fifty-seven interview transcripts from the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into allegations of collusion between President Trump and the Russian government during the 2016 election were released to the public on Thursday, after a year-and-a-half long redaction process in which the White House demanded to review and redact the testimony before its public release.

Don’t know when I’m going to have time to read (and re-read in some cases) these transcripts.

“Like the Ukraine investigation that would follow it, the investigation into the Trump campaign’s effort to seek and utilize Russian help in 2016 and to obstruct justice, reveal a President who believes that he is above the law,” Schiff said in the statement.

Thank you Adam Schiff.

The one thing that gives me some cheer is that with Covid-19 failures, increasing evidence of corruption, bad polling, transcripts releases, pending lawsuits, to mention a few, Trump and Barr are playing 24/7 whack a mole.

Despite Trump’s best efforts, the House Intelligence Committee still appears to be significantly infiltrated by Americans.

The RW has been accusing Schiff of sitting in the transcripts.

And THIS is the real shoe-drop that the kabuki about Flynn was intended to keep out of the headlines and the evening news.

It worked, too.

If that was the plan, they pulled the trigger on dropping the Flynn case too early. It’s only Thursday, plenty of time for people to digest this release and have it ready for the weekend media and the Sunday shows.

You’re supposed to do the “Look, Squirrel!” late on a Friday to bury this kind of thing.

I will await your take on all of this.
My short response right now is…bada bing. Which is New Yorkese for “got ya by the short and curlies”

Not to mention having the “Look, Squirrel” relate to the same Russian Collusion stuff you are trying to distract from kind of undermines the destraction value as reporters can just bundle the two together.

And don’t forget that the most corrupt administration in history has asked SCOTUS to block the release of the un-redacted Mueller material. I’m sure that there is a very good reason to keep it secret. I’m sure that none of these things would provide any information that would be…let’s say “embarrassing” to those swine.
And I’m also beginning to wonder what blackmail material they have on the conservative members of SCOTUS. You know they have stuff on Kavanaugh, and who knows about Gorsuch.

I am pleased with the aggression I see in the comments here.

Trump is weak.

Otherwise he would have run a more conventional campaign.

Actual votes cast in 2020. Full Stop.

Another fine job done by Adam, thank you sir. You are truly a great man you represent what the DOJ and his department the justice department should be. I am so glad there are people like yourself serving my country. The facts still are the same Donald Trump is an impeach President and all the records out there prove that he was guilty of everything he was accused of and the DOJ Bill bar has proven to be nothing better that’s a puppet for Donald Trump a little toady to do the bidding of the fascist the squats in the White House. The record will show exactly how Mueller did his investigation and held Flynn responsible our courts did their job and the guy at the top Bill bar the crook did his Dirty deeds and those are the facts.

Thank you Adam for your work you can walk through life with your held his head held high just like Robert Mueller can. Whereas Dilbar Donald Trump in every Republican but helped and his corrupt administration bears the burden of worrying that tattoo across the forehead traders to the health they took to uphold a higher office and they were elected to hold and to uphold the Constitution none of which they have doneIn the last days of the office if they hold that they were worthless. They’ll be a new sheriff in town January 21 and the new DOJ and many of the Republicansw held his truck up and send his flame to burn through our Constitution and our office he is held they’ll be held accountable as well. Shame on the Republicans. Shame on you.

I will gladly risk infection for the opportunity to see him squirm before a grand jury proceeding without benefit of the protection of his bootlicking acolytes.
