US Cuts Relationship with WHO

by Daveda Gruber:

On Friday President Trump made an announcement that the U.S. is now terminating the relationship it previously had with the World Health Organization or “WHO” as they are referred to.

The termination came about over the inability and/or failure of WHO to enact reforms that the U.S. has concerns over its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. also claims that WHO has displayed pro-China bias.

At a press conference of sorts, President Trump spoke and did not mince words when he said, “Because they have failed to make the requested and greatly needed reforms, we will be today be terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent global public health needs.”

Trump spoke about his distaste for the manner in which China has handled trade, the coronavirus and its intrusion into Hong Kong’s freedom in the manner of government.

Hong Kong exists as a Special Administrative Region controlled by The People’s Republic of China and enjoys its own limited autonomy as defined by the Basic Law. The principle of “one country, two systems” allows for the coexistence of socialism and capitalism under “one country,” which is mainland China.

Trump went on to say, “The world is now suffering as a result of the misfeasance of the Chinese government.”

Funding of WHO was frozen this month by Trump. He threatened to make it permanent if the organization did not endorse restructuring.

The U.S. had been the top contributor to WHO in the amount of approximately $450 million a year, and China had paid approximately $50 million a year and now China has increased their contribution to WHO to $2 billion.

Concerns by the U.S. over WHO’s praise of Chinese transparency and its continuing repetition of the Chinese claims that the virus could not be spread from person-to-person, which we now know to be false.

Trump also said, “Chinese officials ignored their reporting obligations to the World Health Organization and pressured the World Health Organization to mislead the world when the virus was first discovered by Chinese authorities. Countless lives have been taken and profound economic hardship has been inflicted across the globe.”

There were no questions by the press answered after Trump spoke.

To be quite honest, the type of questions generally asked by the mainstream media are not really worth answering so why should the President waste his time with them?

He shouldn’t and didn’t.

Mail-in Ballots has Trump Threatening to Withhold Funding

by Daveda Gruber:

Michigan and Nevada could have federal funds withheld if President Trump has anything to do with it.

The two states have endorsed extensive mail-in voting and the President is not happy about it.

On Tuesday Jocelyn Benson, who is the Michigan Secretary of State, made an announcement that all registered voters in the state will be mailed an application to vote by mail in November. The plan was set forth to avoid risks of exposure to COVID-19.

Trump tweeted this about Michigan:

Later on, Trump dealt with Nevada’s decision to have mail-in votes for their June primary election.

Trump then threatened to withhold funding from them too.

Nevada voters will not even have to apply for ballots. Voters will receive them in the mail whether they want them or not.

Trump tweeted this:

In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton, announced, without delay, that his office is appealing the ruling where a federal judge sided with Democrats in allowing forms to be sent out to voters, to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Trump and other GOP leaders are against any expansion of mail-in ballots. They are adamant that it leads to voter fraud.

Of course the Democrats are saying that cases of actual voter fraud are limited. They also say that Republicans are trying to curb voter turnout to advance their chances of winning elections.

On Monday Ronna McDaniel, who is the GOP Chairwoman, said that she remains against states sending ballots out to all voters. She does, however, agree with  sending applications for absentee ballots.

Am I missing something here? I don’t know how much at risk for COVID-19 we are as a country, will be in June, July, August, September or October, let alone in November.

But it appears that Michigan has a crystal ball of sorts because the state is ready to let all residents vote by mail because of the sheer danger that the coronavirus will have on voters months from now.

It’s bad enough that many Americans don’t trust the voting systems in the U.S., as it is. Dead people have been found to have voted in the past. We don’t even require voter ID in all states. Michigan and Nevada have a lot of nerve to think that they can change voting rules, at this time.

Mr. President, please don’t let this happen. They do cheat. We’ve seen and/or heard of it and we believe that Democrats cheat.

Pelosi Swears in New GOP Congressmen

by Daveda Gruber:

On Tuesday Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., swore in two GOP congressmen into office.

The two seats went from blue to red in special elections that were held on May 12th.

Mike Garcia, R-Calif., and Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., both won their elections and the Speaker swore them into office today while Republican leaders flaunted the wins as a shift in momentum moving forward to the November election.

Pelosi saw things in a different manner. She actually expressed confidence that Democrats will retake the California seat in November. She believes that the loss in the special election happened due to the unusual circumstance that the pandemic brought.

Last week Pelosi said, “We intend to win that seat in November. We don’t see it as any referendum on anything other than it’s the first time we had vote-by-mail in the district … overwhelmingly.”

After being sworn in, Garcia and Tiffany joined House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., for a press conference.

McCarthy was quick to say that these two wins will have a ripple effect for Republicans retaking the House.

McCarthy said, “This is an early indication of what November looks like.”

Republicans needed nineteen seats to win back control of the House last year but now need seventeen.

Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey switched parties late last year and became a Republican. His decision was made because he didn’t want to go along party lines to impeach President Trump.

Van Drew was thanked by Trump and Trump held a big campaign rally in his district in January.

Garcia is a former Navy combat pilot. He flipped California’s 25th congressional district from blue to red after freshman Rep. Katie Hill, D-Calif., resigned from the seat in October 2019.

Garcia said, “I can think of no better place right now to serve my country than in the House of Representatives.”

Tiffany is a former state senator. He won the seat in Wisconsin that was vacated by GOP Rep. Sean Duffy.

Tiffany said, “People want reform. They want our country to get back up on its feet again. And that means government needs to be responsive to the citizens of this country. That’s what I will fight for every day.”

It appears that having three seats flip from blue to red in elections and one simply by choice, doesn’t sound positive for Pelosi to be bragging about holding the House.

McCarthy seems to be on the right side for bragging rights as the number nineteen has dwindled to seventeen.

Let’s take back the House in November and while we’re at it, let’s increase our numbers in the Senate.

Vote RED down the line in November and Keep America Great!

 

Darlene Swaffar Invites Elon Musk to Florida

by Daveda Gruber:

Darlene Swaffar, the Republican candidate running for District 22 in Florida has invited Elon Musk to bring his business to her state.

Swaffar. who left her Insurance Agent position at Humana to start her own company, Sunshine Insurance Associates, wants to know why elected officials haven’t done their part to attract companies to do business there.

The Floridian candidate says that people have elected officials like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), with no business background. They have turned companies away from doing business in their state.

She also says that is not any different than doing absolutely nothing to attract companies.

Swaffar says, “We need to build a Consortium which includes the Economic Development Councils, all Mayors, Universities, Staffing Firms, Commercial Realtors, and Tourism Boards to come up with a plan.  We need higher paying jobs that will bring year-round residents.”

She goes on to say, ” Over 20 years ago, when I served as the Executive Director of the Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce, I sat in many planning sessions in Miami.  You see, Miami has their act together.  They have a strong year-round economy.  We need to replicate that here in Broward and Palm Beach and I am ready to make that happen.”

Swaffar is running in District #22 to unseat “Impeaching” do-nothing Ted Deutch. She’s a Patriot whose goal is to protect our Constitution and help our President. She is also a descendant of ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. One of our greatest Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, was her 9th Great Uncle.

Her policies would make her ancestors proud.

Swaffar recently tweeted:

Swaffar is truly a woman for the people. She completely supports President Trump and I support her. She would be a great asset in Congress and hopefully will win in the November election.

You can see her on Patriots in Tune with Toots Sweet and Jewels Jones.

See video here:

Her platform can be found on her website. Take a peek at what this amazing woman has to offer. She will make an incredible Congresswoman.

Biden and Comey Among Officials Unmasked:

by Daveda Gruber:

During the presidential transition period a list of names of top Obama administration officials allegedly requested to “unmask” the identity of General Michael Flynn.

Declassification of the list of the notorious development was made by Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.

The list was then sent to Attorney General Bill Barr and GOP Senators Chuck Grassley, R-IA., and Ron Johnson, R-WI., who then made the documents public.

The list is long and includes former Vice President Joe Biden.

Biden isn’t the only interesting name on the list. In fact there are quite a few. Here are a couple:

Former FBI Director James Comey

Former CIA Director John Brennan

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper

Former President Barrack Obama’s chief of staff Denis McDonough

The entire list can be seen here:

The declassified list shows officials who may have received Lt. General Flynn’s identity in response to a request processed between  November 8, 2016 and January 31, 2017 to unmask any identity that had been generically referred to in an NSA foreign intelligence report.

The document said, “Each individual was an authorized recipient of the original report and the unmasking was approved through NSA’s standard process, which includes a review of the justification for the request. Only certain personnel are authorized to submit unmasking requests into the NSA system. In this case, 16 authorized individuals requested unmasking for [REDACTED] different NSA intelligence reports for select identified principals.”

The document also said, “While the principals are identified below, we cannot confirm they saw the unmasked information. This response does not include any requests outside of the specified time-frame.”

Grenell wrote to GOP senators and included the list. He wrote, “I declassified the enclosed document, which I am providing to you for your situational awareness.”

The decision had already been made by Grenell to declassify information that he had uncovered about the Obama administration officials who were involved in the “unmasking” of former national security adviser Flynn.

Not only do Trump supporters, myself included, feel that Flynn was dishonestly targeted and that the Obama administration had top level officials involved to bring Flynn down because of his loyalty to President Trump and to the United States.

I would assume that Biden was unaware of what was actually uncovered when he told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” that he knew “nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn.”

Biden called the topic a “diversion” from the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden had a little more information and made his statement clearer by saying, “I thought you asked me whether or not I had anything to do with him being prosecuted. I’m sorry. … I was aware that there was . . . that they asked for an investigation, but that’s all I know about it, and I don’t think anything else.”

He doesn’t think there was anything else? Actually, I believe has a thinking problem and that fact is coming closer and closer into light.

If the investigation goes into place as I feel it will, Biden may have to testify to Congress.

Will he claim forgetfulness?

Get your popcorn ready. This show is about to get rather interesting.

Obama Was in On Plot to Frame Flynn

by Daveda Gruber:

Sidney Powell, who is the lead attorney for former National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn, is quite adamant that former President Barack Obama was in on a plot to frame her client.

FBI agents had questioned Flynn, insisting that the General did not need a lawyer and that the FBI agents took a casual approach with Flynn. They did not tell him that they were investigating him and did not warn him that it would be a federal crime to lie during their conversation.

This factored to Flynn pleading guilty at first to providing a false statement to FBI agents in regard to his contact with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Flynn, with a change in attorneys representing him, changed his story and FBI tactics were then questioned.

Powell told Fox News, “These agents specifically schemed and planned with each other how to not tip him off, that he was even the person being investigated.”

Powell went on to say, “So they kept him relaxed and unguarded deliberately as part of their effort to set him up and frame him.”

Newly released testimony gives light to the former President having knowledge of Flynn’s phone call with Kislyak.

There was an Oval Office meeting during which then Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates was surprised to hear Obama reveal that he knew about Kislyak.

Obama asked Yates and then FBI Director James Comey to “stay behind.” The former President then reportedly specified that he did not want any additional information on the matter, but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently, given the information.

Powell stated, “The whole thing was orchestrated and set up within the FBI, [former Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper, [Former CIA Director John] Brennan, and in the Oval Office meeting that day with President Obama,”

Powell was asked if she believed that Flynn was the victim of a plot that went all the way up to Obama.

She replied, “Absolutely.”

Powell was also asked if anyone will face charges over this, and, if so, who.

Powell responded that it will be up to Attorney General William (Bill) Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham of Connecticut, who has been investigating the origins of the Russia probe for quite some time.

As far as the judge in the Flynn case, Powell said she believes the judge will sign off on the charges being dismissed as soon as Monday.

Imprisoning a former president isn’t an easy task. That being said, imprisoning the first black president wouldn’t be something anyone would want to be a part of.

In conclusion, what do the American people want to see happen? Some would love to see the guilty sent to Guantanamo Bay but is this what would be best for the United States?

It wouldn’t unite the people of this great county and it would make some happy and others would oppose it with gusto.

The mainstream media are just as much to blame as anyone else. Do we imprison them too?

I believe that Americans must hear the truth. This cannot be denied. There is a two tier system in this country that usually deals with people in different manners.

The people of this great nation want justice. Can justice be reflected by the American people being told exactly what has happened with this county’s elite political vermin? I’m not sure.

The most important variant I see is that the mainstream media (MSM) has to change the way they report the news. If the news is reported correctly, then the general population has the facts. That can change the way Americans see their leadership.

Mail-In Ballots Ordered by Newsom

by Daveda Gruber:

On Friday Governor Gavin Newsom made a big move by signing an executive order to send all registered voters in the state of California a mail-in ballot for November’s presidential election.

Newsom released a statement that read, “Elections and the right to vote are foundational to our democracy. No Californian should be forced to risk their health in order to exercise their right to vote.”

California is now the first state to automatically send voters ballots before the general election even though Newsom reiterated that residents of California will still have access to in person voting sites.

This unprecedented move comes in the mist of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many in person voting facilities in the state primaries have been closed due to the coronavirus crisis.

Concerns of fraud and abuse were immediately brought to light by Republicans. They have opposed the expansion of mail-in ballots out of fear it would lead to voter fraud. Republicans have also brought up the possibilities of legal challenges.

At this time the Republican National Committee said it is reviewing its legal options “to ensure the integrity of the election.”

California Republicans have noted problems in the state with voter rolls and a “motor voter” program to register new voters that led to hundreds of thousands of inconsistencies..

Allegedly, the errors that were reviewed did not allow anyone to vote who should not have been allowed to vote.

In a statement by Jessica Millan Patterson, who is chairman of the California Republican Party said, “To mail out millions of ballots to voter rolls have proven to contain alarming errors throughout the state is not a task that these Democrats can adequately manage or safely execute.”

President Trump has alleged that voting by mail is prone to corruption and he opposes the practice but he has not produced evidence of this.

Last month the President said, “Mail ballots, they cheat. Mail ballots are very dangerous for this country because of cheaters. They go collect them. They are fraudulent in many cases.”

On Friday Newsom put out a statement which reads, “Mail-in ballots aren’t a perfect solution for every person, and I look forward to our public health experts and the Secretary of State’s and the Legislature’s continued partnership to create safer in-person opportunities for Californians who aren’t able to vote by mail.”

Well then, it appears that Newsom disagrees with himself. He sent out ballots to vote by mail but believes some people cannot vote by mail because they’re unable to?

This is all rather contradictory to me. How can anyone predict what levels the coronavirus pandemic will be like in November? How does a governor unilaterally make these decisions? Does Newsom have a crystal ball?

Voting in person with identification would be the safest manner for any election to be fair. I’ll assume Newsom disagrees with me.

DOJ Drops Case Against General Michael Flynn

by Daveda Gruber:

On Thursday the Justice Department made a move to drop the case former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. This came after internal memos were released that raised profound questions about the nature of the investigation of Flynn.

In a court filing, the department proclaimed it is dropping the case that led to Flynn’s 2017 guilty plea of lying to the FBI, “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.”

It was concluded by the DOJ that Flynn’s interview by the FBI was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn.” The DOJ also put on record that and that the interview was “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.”

The final determination to dismiss the case would need to come from the federal judge who is overseeing the case.

Flynn, who is a retired Army lieutenant general, has, with the help of his new attorney Sidney Powell, been trying to withdraw the plea. The case appeared to be at a standstill and even President Trump has been asked about whether he would pardon Flynn.

Brandon Van Grack, who was the top prosecutor on the case,  abruptly withdrew, without explanation, in a brief filing with the court.

Flynn earlier this year moved to withdraw his guilty plea for making false statements to the FBI regarding his communications with Kislyak. His legal team, at the time, said that the move was “because of the government’s bad faith, vindictiveness and breach of the plea agreement.”

Allies of Flynn argued that he was basically set up in a perjury trap. In that interview, Flynn did not admit wrongdoing. He was accused of lying about his contacts with the then Russian ambassador He pleaded guilty.

At that point, Flynn was fired from his prominent post as national security adviser in February 2017. His resignation came as he was accused of misleading Vice President Pence and other senior White House officials about his communications with Sergey Kislyak.

With that in mind, the latest DOJ filing took note that Flynn’s false statement plea pertains to a crime that requires a statement “to be not simply false, but ‘materially’ false with respect to a matter under investigation.”

The filing stated that the government “is not persuaded that the January 24, 2017 interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis and therefore does not believe Mr. Flynn’s statements were material even if untrue.”

Jeff Jensen, who is the U.S. attorney reviewing the Flynn case, put in a recommendation, and last week put that recommendation in writing last week, to Attorney General William Barr to drop the case.

Jensen wrote, “Through the course of my review of General Flynn’s case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case. I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed.”

On Wednesday, the DOJ had released a mostly unredacted version of former acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s August 2017 “scope memo,” which outlined the authority of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller had for his investigation.

Well, that document brought to light, for the first time, that Mueller’s authority went drastically beyond what had been known previously.

Who would have guessed? Okay, maybe me and a couple of others?

It was well known that Rosenstein’s memo had authorized Mueller to probe “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of  President Donald Trump and any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation,” and “any other matters within the scope of [obstruction of justice laws].”

The new document verified that Rosenstein authorized a deep-rooted criminal probe into the Trump campaign. That would have extended well beyond Russian interference efforts but was it necessary?

It was in the memo that it was revealed that Mueller was, among other things, looking into whether Flynn “committed a crime or crimes by engaging in conversations with Russian government officials during the period of the Trump transition.”

What? Looking for a crime? Yes, they were looking for a crime.

At least the DOJ saw that. Maybe this could put an end to the allegations against Flynn.

A note from FBI officials said, “What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”

Here’s where the Logan Act, which has not been used in a very long time comes into play.

The FBI notes say, “If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ + have them decide.”

Another note by the FBI read that the memo appears to weigh the pros and cons of pursuing those different paths, while cautioning, “If we’re seen as playing games, WH [White House] will be furious.”

The White House will be furious? Really? The American people would be furious, or least Conservative Americans, would be upset, to say the least.

Flynn and his family were put through Hell! Does that mattert?

Flynn was set up. Those who did this to an American hero are to blame. Real justice should be served. That is my final statement.

The Video No One Wants You to See

by Daveda Gruber:

The Scientific community was proven all wrong in 2009 when some scientists discovered that something was happening in laboratories throughout America and all over the world that was not only harmful but shocking.

Dr. Judy Mikovits, who has been called one of the most accomplished scientists of her generation and her 1991 doctorial thesis revolutionized the treatment of HIV or AIDES.

Mikovits and others discovered that a retrovirus called XMRV (xenotropic murine retrovirus) and some other related retroviruses were present in 6% of Americans.

The retrovirus was appearing in a rather high percentage of people with diseases such as:

Prostate Cancer

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Autism

Lou Gehrig’s Disease

Treatment Resistant Lyme Disease

Parkinson’s Disease

The term that was used, “xenotropic” indicates that this virus had a nonhuman origin but that now it is able to live and multiply in humans.

The retrovirus in question had an appearance that was similar to “mouse virus.” It also had qualities of human virus.

Yes, it was a “chimera,” which is defined as (in Greek mythology) a fire-breathing female monster with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail. It can also be described as a thing that is hoped or wished for but in fact is illusory or impossible to achieve. But wait, it can also be a kind of mythical beast being part human and part mouse.

It is essentially a single organism that’s made up of cells from two or more “individuals”—that is, it contains two sets of DNA, with the code to make two separate organisms.

The “chimera” was accidentally created laboratories when naturally occurring mouse virus recombined with a human virus found in prostate cancer culture.

She published an article in the Journal of Science that the combination of animal and fetal tissue were unleashing devastating plagues of chronic diseases.

Big Pharma unleashed a war on Mikovits for revealing this.

There are conflicts of interest in government that are mind-boggling. Government workers are allowed to patent their claims. When a confirmation of a patent is delayed, a virus spreads.

Millions died from HIV and they didn’t have to die.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a leading member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, is not the mild mannered scientist he appears to be. The claims in a video which I will provide the link for will knock your socks off.

YouTube has removed the video that’s circulating information that leads to the COVID-19 or coronavirus pandemic.

The video centered on Dr. Judy Mikovits, who claims the federal government is behind a “plague of corruption” to inflate profits from a potential vaccine even as COVID-19 threatens lives.

It also features criticism of Fauci and that Fauci allegedly threatened in an email to have her arrested if she set foot on National Institutes of Health property to participate in a study by Dr. Frank Ruscetti who is allegedly attempting to validate her work.

Fauci denies this.

The full movie will be released later this year but you may want to watch the video that explains a lot and I have found the link to it.

Russia Probe Interviews Cleared for Release

by Daveda Gruber:

The Democrat from California, Adam Schiff, who is the House Intelligence Committee Chairman, has been given the green light to publicly release the transcripts from the panel’s Russia probe.

Richard Grenell, who is the acting Director of National Intelligence, has given Schiff the clearance needed to give the documentation to Republicans who have been demanding access to the documents.

A letter from Grenell dated May 4th went out to Schiff informing him that transcripts of the entire fifty-three interviews related to foreign interference in the 2016 election, which have more than 6,000 pages in total, can be released.

Grenell said in the letter that there will be redactions.

In September of 2018, the committee voted to release the transcripts of witness interviews that they conducted during the panel’s Russia probe. The vote was unanimous and bipartisan.

The transcripts were sent out to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for an interagency classification review in November of 2018. This was apparently done to prevent an unintended disclosure of classified information.

Forty-three of the fifty-three transcripts were reviewed and completed in June of 2019 according to Grenell.

According to FOX News Grenell wrote, “As of today, the interagency review of the remaining ten transcripts has been completed, as well.

He then added that “pursuant to your guidance, these transcripts have not been shared with the White House.”

Grenell also wrote, “In the interests of transparency and accountability, I urge you to honor your previous public statements, and your Committee’s unanimous vote on this matter, to release all 53 cleared transcripts to all Members of Congress and the American public as soon as possible.

He also wrote that he was “willing” to release the transcripts directly from ODNI “as to ensure we comply with the unanimous and bipartisan vote to release the transcripts.”

Grenell went on in his letter to say, “In the interests of transparency and accountability, I urge you to honor your previous public statements, and your Committee’s unanimous vote on this matter, to release all 53 cleared transcripts to all Members of Congress and the American public as soon as possible.”

He also said in the letter that he was “willing” to release the transcripts directly from ODNI “as to ensure we comply with the unanimous and bipartisan vote to release the transcripts.”

Schiff’s actions have not gone over well with House Republicans and they have accused him  of blocking the Russia probe transcripts. This week they demanded Schiff give them access to the interview transcripts.

The Republicans sent a letter calling for the public release of the transcripts. The letter was signed by the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee:

Representative Jim Jordan

Representative Mike Johnson

Representative Ken Buck

Representative James Sensenbrenner

Representative Chip Roy

Representative Michael Cloud

Representative James Comer

Representative Jody Hice

Representative Glenn Grothman

Representative Steve Chabot

Representative Matt Gaetz

Representative Andy Biggs

Representative Ben Cline

Representative Doug Collins

Representative Guy Reschenthaler

Representative Louie Gohmert

Representative Kelly Armstrong

Representative Paul Gosar

Representative Thomas Massie

Representative Greg Steube

Representative Bob Gibbs

Representative Clay Higgins

Representative Ralph Norman

Representative Carol Miller

Representative Fred Keller

Representative Tom McClintock

Representative Debbie Lesko.

Their letter stated, “We understand now that Chairman Schiff is blocking the release of these transcripts. This news, if accurate, is disturbing—especially in light of Chairman Schiff’s cries in 2019 for transparency regarding allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.”

The letter went on to say, “For nearly four years, prominent Democrat politicians and commentators alleged that President Trump colluded with Russia, with Chairman Schiff going so far as to say that he had ‘direct evidence’ of collusion. Now that these allegations have been disproven by several investigations, the American people deserve to have transparency about why public figures such as Chairman Schiff continue to promote such wild accusations.”

What Schiff will do with the transcripts now is your guess as well as everyone else’s. He may release the redacted version in whole or he may pick and choose which ones he wants to release but all eyes will be on him and his next course of action.

The fact that there is redacted information is disturbing. When can the public see the entire truth? Never?

The ball is in shifty Schiff’s court but I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes.
