Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    More interested in Akhmetshin's hours of grand jury testimony than I am in Glenn Simpson's day of SJC testimony. https://www.ft.com/content/eb36aed6-8d87-11e7-a352-e46f43c5825d …

        Also interesting that Akhmetshin's not very chatty about what he had to say to the GJ. He's not helping Don Jr here.pic.twitter.com/0Ysuw2605g

        Note, USG tends to be able to dangle deportation over people for pretty much ever, if they can claim dishonest entry. Just saying.

        What is the process for conferring congressional immunity? Will they be able to give it to Junior if need be?

        Don Jr has already agreed to give a transcribed interview to SJC (not necessarily where I'd want it but I'll take it).

        What if more info emerges later and he (or anyone else) is implicated? Can they immunize a la North w/o Democrats?

        Not sure how rules vary by committee--and of course Nunes is being an asshole (and Schiff has talked abt separate reports).

        Normally it'd take majority vote, but not positive. And that's easy just w/Republicans.

        Guess it may be time to clarify that more, but given that every committee but HPSCI willing to threaten subpoena, guess HPSCI is concern.

        Of course you are. Because you are a deep state cheerleader hack. Pretends to stand against what you now are promoting. Hysterical hypocrisy

        Story went from "political dirt" to "incriminating evidence" in a matter of weeks.

        Grassley hates him too. I suspect more than the 30 minutes meeting were probed.
