Bigger than Watergate

Theres some fine irony... I missed Blickers post because I have him ignored... Funny stuff...

Each to his own, Gent, but I would never (automatically) ignore Blicky or his cheese-eating homeys. I wouldn't want to miss the laughs, ya know?

That's a good question, Let's see what we can find out.

What did you find out? For a case that's supposed to be "bigger than Watergate" it seems pretty quiet.

It's a rolling ball. Waiting for Rice to testify. Can you give her a call and find out when that will be?

It hasn't gotten smaller yet, just keep an eye on it.

House Intelligence Committee sends subpoenas to intel agencies

Three of the nation’s intelligence agencies received subpoenas Wednesday afternoon issued by the House Intelligence Committee, Fox News has confirmed, with each of the three demands for documents explicitly naming three top officials of the Obama administration: Susan Rice, who served as President Obama’s White House national security adviser; former CIA Director John Brennan; and former U.N. ambassador Samantha Power.

The three subpoenas all, and all three explicitly referenced “unmasking” – a signal that the House panel is intensifying its investigation into allegations that Obama-era aides improperly demanded the “unmasking” of names of associates of President Trump that had appeared

Capitol Hill sources told Fox News they are devoting increasing scrutiny to Power because they have come to see her role in the unmasking as larger than previously known, and eclipsing those of the other former officials named.

Top Obama official Samantha Power gets brutal lesson in self-awareness after criticizing Trump’s Saudi arms deal

Power took to her Twitter account Saturday to criticize a $110 billion arms deal that President Donald Trump inked with Saudi Arabian King Salman on the same day. Power seemed to oppose the deal arguing that Trump just agreed to provide arms to a country that has killed innocent civilians in Yemen, a country that borders Saudi Arabia to its south.

“For a country whose attacks on civilians in Yemen — and inability to learn from mistakes — have been devastating to human life,” Power wrote on Twitter. In her tweet, Power appeared to appeal to a moral high road, but Twitter users weren’t so convinced.

In fact, the response to Power’s tweet was filled mostly with tweets slamming the former Obama official for being a hypocrite. Not only did Obama ink many arms deals with the Saudis, one user pointed out, but the Obama administration also “watched hundreds of thousands of Syrians die and did nothing.”

Indeed, the Obama administration offered the Saudis more than $115 billion worth of arms during their eight years in the White House according to a Reuters report last year.

Power was forced to resign from the Obama campaign in 2008 after being quoted as calling Hillary Clinton a monster in a newspaper interview, but later patched up her relationship with Clinton and rose to the job of UN ambassador, succeeding Rice when Rice was named National Security Adviser.

My Friend, the Russian Ambassador

By SAMANTHA POWER FEB. 25, 2017

On Monday, Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s permanent representative to the United Nations for the last decade and one of the world’s most effective diplomats, passed awa

Vitaly was a masterful storyteller with an epic sense of humor, a good friend and one of the best hopes the United States and Russia had of working together. I am heartbroken by his death. He faithfully defended President Vladimir V. Putin’s deadly actions in Ukraine and Syria.

When, upon learning of his death, I referred to him as a “diplomatic maestro” on Twitter, I was slammed for whitewashing Russia’s crimes and “mourning its biggest enabler.” “Ask Syrian and Ukrainian children what they think,” read one typical tweet.

I also believe that it is imperative that we try to build relationships with individual Russians, who are as complex and contradictory as the rest of us. Indeed, our security depends on our ability to reach across ideological divides — to understand one another, but also to try to solve problems together. ...Once the two of us had settled on a plan, other countries tended to defer, reasoning that if we had found common ground, so could they.

For a bunch of people swearing innocence, the Trump Team is doing their best to look guilty as hell.

Come now. The supposed "crimes" that the Left are suggesting (without justification) that they are guilty of, are not even crimes.

Sessions' telling multiple untruths about his meetings with the Russian ambassador to the Senate confirmation committee is a crime.

And if we are not talking about crimes here, why does Flynn want immunity before he testifies?
