Democrats are taking every opportunity to hammer home their core message before the 2018 election – that Trump won the election due to treasonous Russian collusion. Leading the charge for the Democrat’s Russia obsession, Representative Adam Schiff is almost single-handedly keeping the Russia narrative alive.
After a closed-door committee meeting on the ongoing Russia investigation, Schiff commented, “Today this committee voted to put the president’s personal interest, and perhaps their own political interests, above the national interest.”
Preempting Schiff’s tired mantra, President Trump Tweeted “The single greatest Witch Hunt in American history continues. There was no collusion, everybody including the Dems knows there was no collusion, & yet on and on it goes. Russia & the world is laughing at the stupidity they are witnessing. Republicans should finally take control!”
Mitch McConnell, has also been pulling his weight for Trump, and pushing back on the Russia narrative. Yesterday, on Fox New, the Senate Majority Leader responded to a question over the Russia investigation, saying, “I don’t think it’s necessary,” but adding “I don’t think the administration wants to get rid of Mueller and therefore the legislation is not necessary.”
Trump’s Assistant Attorney General, Stephen E. Boyd, sent a letter to Nunes on January 24th, saying that releasing the memo without review is not feasible. He mentioned, “We believe it would be extraordinarily reckless for the Committee to disclose such information publicly without giving the Department and the FBI the opportunity to review the memorandum.”
According to principal deputy press secretary, Raj Shah, “The Department of Justice doesn’t have a role in this process.”
Director of White House legislative affairs March Short, in an interview with Fox News on Sunday, mentioned, “The president is more inclined to transparency in this investigation.”
Susan Hennessey mentioned, “Is it a good-faith undertaking or a bad-faith undertaking?” she said. Releasing the memo could result in “maximum damage with the minimum possible public education.”
“Selective release of classified material is bad because it gives a misleading view of what the Intelligence Committee does,” said Mieke Eoyang, adding, “You don’t get a sense of what’s normal and what’s a deviation from the norm.”
President Trump Tweeted in December that “How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leaking James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during the investigation?”. According to Sanders, “”The only thing that the president has applied pressure to is to make sure we get this resolved so that you guys. Everyone else can focus on the things that Americans actually care about, and that is making sure everybody gets the Russia fever out of their system once and for all.”
