The Fusion GPS transcript should make it clear how unconscionable @LindseyGrahamSC and @ChuckGrassley 's attempt to smear Steele for political reasons is.— Elizabeth Spiers (@espiers) January 9, 2018
If it turns out true, that in the end Russia investigation started from a Trump campaign whistleblower, a tip from the Aussies and later 3rd source a dossier pushed by McCain, @GOP will be forever sullied for going after Mueller to protect Trump https://t.co/FHu1pMEAc8— Clint Watts (@selectedwisdom) January 9, 2018
Wow. @ChuckGrassley, who has worked hard to undermine efforts to determine the extent of Russia’s efforts to undermine democracy, says releasing the transcript of testimony “undermines the integrity” of his investigation. Translation: he can’t keep lying and threatening witnesses— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) January 9, 2018
I’m ready to confirm that Grassley was flat-out lying about Simpson’s testimony. https://t.co/9hxQNC8JUQ— Laurence Tribe (@tribelaw) January 9, 2018
BREAKING NEWS: Sen Grassley is still an enabler and providing cover https://t.co/qHLYhTIhNk— Chris Meloni (@Chris_Meloni) January 9, 2018
Bottom line: Grassley lied, slimed Simpson, joined with Graham unconscionably and unilaterally to slime and destroy Steele. Beyond shameful. https://t.co/zlx3JNYvwF— Norman Ornstein (@NormOrnstein) January 10, 2018
Now that Feinstein has forced this into the open, it makes it:— Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) January 9, 2018
1. Very clear why her Republican colleagues were suppressing it.
2. Very shameful that her Republican colleagues were suppressing it. They knew the dossier story taking over Fox was a lie. https://t.co/B7WZRis8RG
They never learn, even after Watergate. The cover-up always ends up being a bigger problem than the original crime. Or did they really think they could keep so much evidence hidden indefinitely?
ReplyDeleteKudos to Feinstein and the rest who keep on squeezing the pus out of this nasty abscess into the sunlight, until at last it will all be out and the body politic can begin to heal.
Grassley and Graham guilty of corruption. Grassley has always been an asshole, but Graham tried to straddle both sides of the aisle. What turned him?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sen Feinstein!!!!
Two words: Corruption and Kompromat. And, yes, Feinstein came through.
ReplyDeleteI meant obstruction, not corruption (though they're corrupt as fuck too!).
