Of all the *tells* that have surfaced in the past four years, this is the biggest. This is the one that reveals just how corrupt and duplicitous the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence really is. Do not pass over this information without pausing and evaluating just how explosive this refusal is amid the largest, most corrupt scheme in political history.
The republican led Senate Intelligence Committee (SSCI) is refusing to provide documents to republican senators from their Russia investigation. Citing archaic justification within senate parliamentary rules current Chairman Marco Rubio (R) and Vice-Chairman Mark Warner are refusing to allow Senator Johnson and Senator Grassley to review the evidence the SSCI assembled to create their report on Russian election interference.
The reason and motives for the denial are simple, yet the majority of Americans have no idea…. The SSCI was the legislative entity, both republicans and democrats, who participated in the unlawful effort to remove President Trump from office. The risk of exposure is exactly why Mitch McConnell put Senator Marco Rubio on the committee as chairman to replace Richard Burr. The Senate was participating in the soft-coup.
WASHINGTON DC – The Republican and Democratic leaders on the Senate Intelligence Committee rejected a broad request from two Republican Senate leaders seeking access to the panel’s records to assist in their investigation into the Trump-Russia investigators.
Acting Chairman Marco Rubio of Florida and Vice Chairman Mark Warner of Virginia rejected a late August letter from Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who said that they “respect the authority” of the Senate Intelligence Committee to protect its interests, adding that “ultimately, we have the right as United States Senators” to access the records.
“We note that your request of the Committee is made pursuant to Senate Rule 26, but fails to account for the unique authorities and obligations invested in this Committee through Senate Resolution 400 and respected over decades of Senate and Committee practice,” Rubio and Warner responded. “Accordingly, we must reject the absolutist interpretation of Rule 26 that you propose. If this Committee elects to share materials that it has collected and generated in the course of its investigation into Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, it will do so pursuant to these long-standing Committee rules, and specifically, the joint agreement of the Chairman and the Vice Chairman.”
Rubio and Warner added: “Independent of whether that agreement is forthcoming, our position on this matter obviously does not preclude you from pursuing your own investigation, using your own authorities, as you see fit, within the confines of your committees’ jurisdictions.” (read more)
I cannot overemphasize the importance of this sunlight avoidance enough.
Back on March 17, 2017, the SSCI secretly received the FISA application used on Carter Page from FBI supervisory special agent Brian Dugan. The ‘review and return’ application was delivered to Senate Security Director James Wolfe, who then placed it in the senate scif to be reviewed by Vice-Chairman Mark Warner (and possibly Chairman Richard Burr). It appears no other senators were informed of this production.
James Wolfe then leaked the FISA application to reporter Ali Watkins. All indications are that Wolfe leaked the application to Watkins as directed by Warner, possibly with Burr’s full knowledge.
FBI Agent Brian Dugan then completed a nine-month leak investigation resulting in James Wolfe admitting to the leak. The leak was Dugan’s FBI equity. Due to the severity of the leak; and specifically because the leak encompassed the FISA application; in/around mid-January 2018 the special counsel in Main Justice was notified of Dugan’s findings and the investigative file was shared with the Weissmann team.
The Weissman team then took apart the investigative file and began running cover for the corrupt background story that included the participation by Senator Mark Warner. Part of that file surfaced when the text messages between Warner and Chris Steele’s lawyer Adam Waldman were made public on Feb 9, 2018.
In a pre-planned operation, as soon as the explosive Warner/Waldman texts were released Senator Marco Rubio rushed to the microphones to fraudulently state that Warner had informed the committee during his early spring (2017) contacts with Waldman and Chris Steele. This claim by Rubio was a lie. Rubio was running cover for Warner as part of his own affiliation with the origin of the Fusion-GPS opposition research and the subsequent transfer of information to the Clinton campaign and ultimately through Chris Steele to the corrupt FBI investigative unit. [Later to the Weissmann/Mueller crew]
Rubio’s motive to downplay the ramifications of the Warner effort, and the subsequent Wolfe leak, directly ties to his own involvement with the Fusion-GPS effort. Remember, at the time of this obfuscation (late ’17 and early ’18) no-one yet knew the Fusion-GPS fraudulent story (which became the Steele dossier) was originally funded by the Super-PAC funding the Rubio campaign.
Go look at when the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel deleted their iPhone records and history. The scrubbing took place mid-January 2018 as soon as they realized the previously unknown leak investigation by Washington Field Office FBI agent Brian Dugan had bumped into the special counsel operation that was coordinating with the SSCI.
The special counsel warned Warner; took action to remove specific evidence assembled by Dugan (which included the Warner/Waldman text messages); created a fictitious cover story for the SSCI to use; extracted the Dugan version of the FISA application he used to catch Wolfe (which they later released under the guise of FOIA); then sent a deconstructed (now useless) investigative file back to DC USAO Jessie Liu who had nothing left except to present a DC grand jury with James Wolfe lying to investigators.
That corrupt, unlawful and coordinated cover-up effort lies at the heart of why the SSCI will not share any information with GOP senators today.
Senators Johnson and Grassley were asking for the FISA application in 2018, not knowing the original and first renewal were previously provided to the SSCI on March 17, 2017.
When congress (House Intel, House Judiciary, Senate Judiciary and Senate Homeland Security) were writing to FISA Court presiding judge Rosemary Collyer seeking a copy of the FISA application from the court they had no idea one early copy was already provided to the Senate Intelligence Committee. Chairman Burr and Vice-Chair Warner kept their review and use secret; but the information about their reception came out because James Wolfe leaked it and FBI agent Brian Dugan was awaiting that leak.
FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer never told any of the chairmen about the March 2017 copy of the application that was provided to Brian Dugan to deliver to the SSCI.
Throughout the attempt to remove President Trump from office, which included the impeachment effort, the SSCI was participating and assisting; now they are in cover-up mode. That’s the reason why Mitch McConnell put Marco Rubio in charge of that committee.
There’s a reason why senior staff from Senator Ron Johnson’s committee and senior staff from Chuck Grassley’s committee are asking for SSCI documents. It might not come out before the election, but it will come out…

I believe all of this – but we have no choice but to elect Republicans – then 4 years to expose everything – all the people want is truth
I saw a one-word comment somewhere on Twitter today. “DOJ?”
I always have a silent one-word comment when I see Rubio: Smarm.
He’s a Scarface wannabe – an Al Pacino.
He makes my skin crawl almost as much as Zero did.
I always think of “Foam Pool Party” Marco.
Indeed, it is. Thanks Sundance
This tweet needs to be here for VISUAL of Rubio’s supporting act that EARNED him the Acting Chair
“Has had zero impact on our work.”
And that’s the problem, Junior.
Rubio: “has had zero impact upon our work”
ME: that is because your “work” (sic) is so thoroughly corrupt and depraved that you cannot deal with the evil Swamp all around you…. because you are an integral part of it.
Without reading their initial request and using a generic overview of the committees – I might be able to make a case to not share most of the SSCI information with Grassley (Finance); but, would have a much tougher time in making a case to not share a fair amount of it with Johnson (Homeland Security) though.
Finance – needs to know generics of where to recommend / approve funding to address the issues and concerns.
Homeland Security – needs to know what the issues and concerns are, the specifics behind much of those, etc. If this is supposedly being about interference in the elections – the committee needs to know to propose any needed legislation and funding accordingly.
Perhaps the requests were overly broad; but, the wording of the denial is a blanket denial that appears to preclude even subsequent specific requests. Appears to be a time killing response – in essence, if you want it, go back to the agencies that gave it to us yourself. This might be a practical approach if the two entities are in competition with each other; but, aren’t they supposed to be working towards the same goal?
Someone’s may be overthinking this…They’re filthy dirty, plain and simple.
And, yes…I voted for Carlos Beruff because Rubio continues to never let us down.
What a great photo to accompany your tweet, Sundance!
why does it seem the more that gets uncovered, the less that gets done? We have so much knowledge now, but less resolution.
Sue the bastids! There is no legal reasoning to support the denial. Members of the Senate should be able to see the Senate’s Committee work.
To date, I have never seen any evidence that there ever was a Russia. Just “Somewhere out in the fog, Russian are lurking…”
Comflated Advertisement purchases with “Hacking our Election”
the election goverment group – whoever they are – should sue the Democrat Party for slander and libel that they were hacked
I called Rubio’s phone line for Lee County and left a scorching message. Please, all FL Treepers, give him a piece of your mind about this. Let him know WE KNOW, and we are wise to his RINO treachery. I am so ??? burned you!
Newsflash: The threat to our elections is not external. It is both the democrat and republican party members that oppose Trump. Fake news will try and keep the focus on Russia while ignoring the deep state attempts to subvert our election.
Democrat and republican congress persons against Trump are in essence tools of the deep state.
Senator Warner is guilty of the same Treason he was accuring Don Jr. of doing – “talking with Russian”
Oleg Deripaska – Igor Danchenko – Fional Hill – Yavanoitch – Vindman
The so called Russian interference with the “sweeping and systematic fashion” were a bunch of social media trolls.
Filthy political hookers…
It’s more that the same level is happening, it’s just getting more exposure.
I’m coming to the mind that we need to develop leadership outside of DC to go after DC. A “state” comes to mind but I’m uncertain if we could get one off of the government nipple.
Trump has the right idea, but he is constrained by the very system he is trying to dismantle. All of it’s rules and twists prevent change.
Out of everything that has been tried in history between new parties, new leaders, new this new that it all finds itself falling victim the same way. Maybe it’s time for a actual coup of a different nature.
We all need to send every member of that committee the following message:
We Know. Judgement is coming.
Then wait for all hell to break loose.
We would actually need to bring the hell and that is where conservatives fail every time. We are the party of “no muss, no fuss, from us!” They have zero fear, they know we will not get off of the sofa.
Open to suggestions on how to change that.
I know what you mean. All that is needed is a good leader. Trump did it (against all odds) to become President He created a movement!
If my hope was not in The Lord, I would be overwhelmed with despair.
Me too I pray day and night for President trump and our country
So do I, Lynda!
So much truth in that post.
Prolly Johnson and Grassley are just requesting documents to let the SSCI know what to scrub. ??♀️
Perhaps. Perhaps not.
“There’s a reason why senior staff from Senator Ron Johnson’s committee and senior staff from Chuck Grassley’s committee are asking for SSCI documents. It might not come out before the election, but it will come out…”
Sundance’s statement looks……..loaded.
If it doesn’t come out before the election, it may not matter whether it comes out at all. Sick of DOJ slow-walking and whistling past the graveyard on every freakin’ obvious crime by Demonrat gummint aparatchiks.
Ugh! Not gonna like that, though it’s probably, disgustingly true.
Scum always cover for scum…
fewit is that can wrap their head around just how evil and corrupt DC is………..truly a swamp.
POTUS Trump was partially right in the debates. Rubio has very small hands AND no balls either.
burnetto??
You are correct.
Hard to tell someone they’ve been fooled for years, it’s all an illusion.
Rep., dem., have put on a nice show for us to watch while they sold out our country.
This truly fascinates me.
The President knows, Rand Paul knows, Rick Grenell and the current guy the replaced Grenell knows.
So what does it take to get this stuff released ??
Truly fascinating.
God bless PDJT
Where is Ratcliffe?
Out of the hundreds of hidden documents, he can’t release anything?
Ratcliffe was interviewed yesterday on Fox and I can say I wasn’t very impressed by it. He avoided her question about Russia, Russia and went off on Kamala Harris. There has got to be a way to hang this bunch of crooks. They have got to be taken down. Little Marco is covering for the repubs and John McCain. I hate them all.
Lil Marco may have become Lil Noname (and of course we still have Gramercy). Remember Lil Noname was part of the G8 for the amnesty bill when he first took office.
Exactly. Grenell should have remained until the last minute.
I agree, and I am sure PDJT has everything the “enablers” have and more. PDJT can always shuffle people around now that Ratcliff has been confirmed.
We all thought he would be tough as he was in the hearings, but me thinks he is there to keep it all from ever coming out.
DOJ = Swamp, still.
McConnell, GOP Senate = Swamp.
GOP+DNC = Crooks, Inc.
Ratcliffe said he works with durham’s team to make sure he doesn’t release something that could taint a case. Hopefully that means prosecution.
If I’m understanding this correctly, Johnson and Grassley are asking for transcripts of testimony by key players before the SSCI. Would Ratcliffe have access to those transcripts? Grenell had access to the transcripts of testimony before the HPSCI only because the transcripts had been sent to the ODNI for declassification.
Open, willful fraud.
The details make my eyes a bit foggy. But hiding evidence from fellow Senators sets off alarm bells.
It sure does. Will Senators Johnson and Grassley seek the truth or low this crime spree to continue.
Those records have been destroyed long ago (JMO).
No honor among thieves, I guess.
What a coincidence, Mitch put the guy with the most to lose if the truth is exposed in charge of the cover-up. It’s almost as if he knew “Little Marco’s” role and how motivated he’d be to do a good job
Of course. Look at who is chairing any of the Senate committees/subcommittees. They are no better than the Dims. Only more sneaky about it. Controlled Opposition me thinks.
the beat goes on….

burnetto??
Indeed
If anything comes out of Dunham, it will be the news of just how shockingly bipartisan the never ending coup is. PT is on his own and has to be a steady genius to do what he has done. Only , PT.
Don’t think that all of them see the crowds of regular Americans lining up in support for PT. He may be “alone” in DC, but they know we’ve all got his back. Not a single one of them have ever had his level of support from the citizens, and I believe it truly frightens them.
It should.
Indeed, I meant in D.C. One of the reasons they wanted to shut down the rallies was to cut him off from his peeps and that show of support. Didn’t work! ?
They didn’t pull this soft coup off apparently because the target is running for re-election. That’s the good news and thank God. Not sure what the opposite of soft coup but that may be the next step. All we can do now is elect PDT and R’s that can be held accountable in the sunlight; most of them can. Try holding a leftists accountable and if we don’t give Trump the house, which has many fine R’s btw, they will obstruct MAGA Agenda every step. This is me being positive counting the blessings we do have. Meanwhile if I was me (and I am) would be preparing for the possibility of widespread and long term violence.
With some luck maybe we can get Rubio to resign and then let Gov DeSanto appoint a MAGA Senator…
Now that would take a lot of luck.. and help …….but knowing Mitch he would be appointed to the Senate Environment and Public works committee
So Mitch is still a major problem.. and I don’t see any way (short term) we could get a MAGA Senate speaker.. or a clean Senate Intelligence committee…. but we must hope and work together to that goal MAGA.
Will repeat what I said a few minutes ago in a new post. We must elect R’s and worry about the fallout later. Look at the progress we have made moving them to MAGA. If you assist with electing a leftist you only set us back. There will come a time for that battle but for now only ONE enemy and it is the Left.
Florida Residents please flood Rubio’s Office with calls, texts, emails whatever you can. I tried but since I am not a Florida Resident the office hung up on me
Yep. He needs to feel the wrath of the Florida MAGA movement, and get tossed from office next time he is up for reelection.
DeSantis should run against him, if he is not going to run for President next round.
Or Gaetz. He would take him to the woodshed just like Chris Christie did.
What Rubio is failing to do DOES affect our entire country, and you can always give the address of a local Florida Post Office. You own a piece of every one of those.
Re: Katherine . That is exactly what I have been doing. Email – email and e-mail again, and I always get the same return reply, a nothing ‘Thank You.’ Thanks to you all and Sundance I now have the facts and the words. I am on Rubio constantly, and will not let up.
I call all of the satelitte offices and speak directly to the assistants. Get them riled up. The message will filter up.
good one!
Never forget that Trump’s 2020 State of the Union Address was actually a hostage video. The Senate deliberately delayed the “removal” vote following the Dems phony Ukraine impeachment trial until the day after the SoU Address. They were done with the trial the previous Friday.
There was no valid reason for the delay other than to control what Trump would say.
I don’t think so. It may have been an attempt to control what PDJT would say, but PDJT said what he wanted to say. Afterwards the Ukraine Impeachment was useless as Hiden was pushed to become the Dims front runner. Dims know they dont have a chance with Hiden, so he is just a place holder to keep the Ukraine investigation stalled till after the election.
If the Dims can cheat their way to a win then Heels Up Harris becomes president. Zero’s choice.
If PDJT wins, and the Dims maintain the house, investigations and impeachments will continue.
If PDJT wins and the Reps win the house, the riots will escalate until PDJT puts tts hem down and removes the instigators and backers.
This should be the end of Rubio. Was skating on thin ice w/constituents even before this. Warner is a criminal supported by criminals. Comment from Turtle? Didn’t think so. Anybody believe Mitch is not at the heart of this?
Yes, it should be the end of Rubio.
But, that’s what I thought years ago.
Who didn’t already know he was Uniparty swamp?
I would just like to know if anyone isn’t in on this coup.
Rubio and Warner … something stinks and it has to do with deep state photos showing something compromising on those senators . That would be my guess .
And here is Mr. Moneybags…the one who started to oppo research for Rubio.
Paul Singer. Probably part of the foam club.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Singer_(businessman)
IMO it should be the end of McConnell. He is up for re-election in November. Should we consider purposely losing this Kentucky Senate seat and trying to pick up a different one? If not now, WHEN?
I thought the same about Lil Marco (aka Lil Noname). Look what defeating Cantor did although that was in the primary.
No! Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!!
We need the House and the Senate and White House!
End of story.
POTUS knows what’s what and he can handle McConnell along with the others, in his own way.
Continue to pray for guidance to POTUS.
That window shut with the primaries, and no…we need to keep the Senate Republican so the R Senators can be kept in check by their constituents.
Yes I believe that McConnell is the heart of the coup. Without his support none of this happens.
There has to be a way for they can force the SSCI to turn those over. wtf. Two tiers of justice.
There has to be a way for they can force the SSCI to turn those over. wtf. Two tiers of justice.
Tom Cotton should leak them. But, I am sure he was in on it back then, even though he acts all MAGA now.
After looking at the SSCI members list I saw Cotton as the least involved with the Deep State. He talks a good game but actions are minimal. Maybe he has been intimidated or is scared.
Lawfare lawyers probably wrote the response. No one on the SSCI is that intelligent! To think our taxpayers dollars are being paid to outside unelected attorneys who protect and cover these corrupt swamp monsters!
Can Rubio spell SSCI?
Have they given him a key to the senators bathroom yet?
Who want’s to go to the bathroom and find lil’ Marco hanging out in there?
That law firm must be making $millions Most likely in offshore bank accounts.
Lawfare lawyers probably wrote the response. No one on the SSCI is that intelligent! To think our taxpayers dollars are being paid to outside unelected attorneys who protect and cover these corrupt swamp monsters!
For decades we have been told that the President of the United States is the most powerful man in the world. Somebody tell me why every useless, worthless, treasonous, traitorous, piece of shit intelligence officer, military jack ass, legislator, and judge are constantly putting the most powerful man in the world in check?
I really want to see him slaughter the useless red queen.
I am thinking that a second term President is the most powerful.
Goodness me I hope PDJT wins a second term.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see him destroying RINO Senators..
…psst “after my reelection, I will have more flexibility”
I’m coming to the notion we need a Trump that isn’t president to do exactly this from the outside.
There are too many constraints on the office to be effective. No one in DC plays by the rules and the rules only apply when you try to fight back
A governor, a state would be legally legitimate but not the only path. The issue with the states seem to be very similar to DC. When Obama was in we saw tons of open carry bills, 2nd and 10th amendment bills, etc and then it all dies.
It’s a ghost shell issue of a republican party that can’t hold its own.
?
>>”Somebody tell me why every useless, worthless, treasonous, traitorous, piece of shit intelligence officer, military jack ass, legislator, and judge are constantly putting the most powerful man in the world in check?”
Because they have the full support of (1) the united US Congress, (2) the united federal bureaucracy, (3) the federal judiciary, and (4) the entire corporate media machine. The “most powerful man in the world” is not remotely as powerful as all of these entities working in unison.
If POTUS cares about cooperation or optics going forward, he might try to “work with” these scum. I think that’s been PDJT’s good faith effort to date. Show them patriotism and try to enlist them in obvious, patriotic endeavors. But in the next term, there should be no illusions of cooperation or patriotism. Scorched earth should the the order of the day in DC. They should feel like Atlanta under Gen. Sherman, except worse.
Cotton needs to pick a side.
He has… It isn’t ours.
devilman??
Yep. He is just another globalist masquerading as a patriot.
This is alarm bell for any belief in Cotton. Have been wondering/pondering him as he was also part of the resistance meetings prior to PDJT election (and intelligence committee is corrupt and unaccountable). Gave him some rope to see if he had shifted his thinking as DJT Presidency proceeded and got on board as he observed the executive success.
This, however, has the full-on stench of swamp. Now fully suspicious of Cotton.
He picked and told you in March 2016. RE: Sea Island, Georgia, meeting.
Few were paying attention.
sundance?? Master Patriot! ??
Thank you for always seeking truth for truths sake, not for an agenda.
An Island Full Of Millionaires Wants To Stop Donald Trump …fortune.com › 2016/03/08 › aei-world-forum-trump
Mar 8, 2016 – At a private island off the coast of Georgia, Silicon Valley moguls and top Republican brass came together with one goal: stop Donald Trump. … They weren’t visiting Sea Island to party, though; they were all guests at an annual … Institute’s World Forum, is a top-secret annual meeting known for bringing top …

YEP.
How can anyone forget. I will never forget the traitors.
SD, thanks for the reminder. Couldn’t think of that meeting but knew it was Cotton’s tell. Some of those on the list of attendees are expected, some surprising. I will have to dig it up.
Yep! I’ve never forgotten that and the disappointment and distrust in Cotton has not relented since.
Yeah, but the fact that he refuses to vote no on pro-forma sessions every time the Senate wants to skip town is enough for me!
“Cotton needs to pick a side”
Yes he should but double agents don’t do that.
Senator Cotton has been masquerading hard as pro- MAGA and pro- Trump lately, but I never forget that he was an attendee of the pre-election Get Trump gathering on the SC Island.
Who else thinks President Trump waited decades too long to try to salvage our Republic? When you have exactly Zero Senators who are willing to admit that they are in recess you may have lost your country.
If they sit on the SSCI they cannot be relied upon. The are Deep State. Period. End of discussion.
Senator Cotton … was an attendee of the pre-election Get Trump gathering
In March, 2016 the dems, in conjunction with the US govt (specifically, its intel community) wer actively smearing Donald Trump with the charge he was a Russian stooge. It was a brilliant strategy, splitting the unknown outsider from the GOP insiders. And based on the posts here, it is still doing damage.
Trump’s allies asked him to go in 2000 but under a new party ala Perot and that would not work. Trump offered to go in in 2008 and 2012 but allies told him to wait. Mittens threw the 2012 election to Zero which is why PDJT has nothing good to say about him. And I am saying that in a nice way.
All hell is going to break loose when President Trump wins in November. He will no longer have to put up with Mitch McConnell’s backstabbing efforts. The leader of the senate could force this issue but he obviously is ok with the deceit of the SSCI.
bullnuke, We’d like to think that but if President Trump wants more judges he still has to play mcconnell’s games
The judges are more important to McConnell than to President Trump. The judges are McConnell’s legacy. Yes President Trump wants Conservative judges, but McConnell wants them more. Is November 3rd the day we should be cutting McConnell? If not, then WHEN do we send a message to the Republicans in Congress?
Rubio was a Tea Party backed candidate in the beginning. WE got him to DC.
THEY then showed him the big money.
Then he sold US out.
Rubio’s performance in pushing H1B and other immigration attacks on Americans has identified him as an enemy – the picture above is meme worthy. Little Marco is tarred with his sell out. We see you.
Rubio has never had money, so he was easily persuaded that Flake, Schumer, McCain were good guys to partner with.
GOPe really wanted Marco (or JEB!) in 2016.
It’s beginning to feel like things are reaching a fever pitch. Let’s hope the floodgates open soon.
I think it’s comical Ron has begun using Linda Graham’s “stay tuned” procrastination promise.
Is that like Hannity’s tic toc?
It’s Monday in the swamp and swamp rats being swamp rats.
“When you’re a rat you’re a rat all the way from your first cigarette to your last dying day…”
For what it’s worth I sent this link with a couple of choice paragraphs to Louie Gohmert and told him, once again, that “we know who is against our country and our President Trump and it’s not just Pelosi and Schumer.
None of this is new for Those of us following closely for past few years. Let’s see what develops, they will all be defrocked and removed from their perches and sent to prison or Patriots, will drag them out and put them down. Either way it’s not going to end well for them. Or their paid criminal Mockingbird media.
If the legal system ignores blatant criminal conspiracy against the people’s elected then there is no law. Barr and company need to open the ballgame before it’s too late. People are not going to stand for much more of this local/federal criminal bull ?. If this runs past election ITS OPEN SEASON. IMHO.
Who appointed Democrat plant Rubio to SSCI?
Democrat plant Mitch
Mitch is not even trying to hide his loyalty.
Think about the choices we had been having for GOP presidential candidates: Rubio, McCain, Romney, Paul Ryan, Kasick, Bush… OMG, nothing but Democrat plants.
Yep. RNC only supports those type. Puppets only.
Even the palm trees are Democrat plants.
All these crooked lawyers in DC need to have their law license revoked. That should put a stop to some of their shenanigans.
Uh-oh, Lil’ Marco!
Did your pride and ambition cause you to sail too close to the sun?
Or are you undercover working for the good guys?
Hopefully (for your sake) the latter.
Rubio is my senator. I sent this to him, along with a link to Sundance’s article. If you’re Floridian, let Rubio know you know!
My wife and I were two of your biggest supporters when you first ran for Senate. You seemed to be a true conservative and an honorable man. Unfortunately, you have turned out to be anything but. Instead, you have been a huge disappointment, and, as GOP chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, your refusal to provide documents from your Russia investigation to Senators Grassley and Johnson has proved to us your duplicity and your direct participation in the soft coup to unseat our duly elected president. You should hang your head in shame. As vigorously as we supported you will be as vigorously as we will get this information out to as many Floridians as possible so that we can find a suitable replacement to primary you. You are worse than the worst Democrat because we KNOW what they are, while you pretend to be someone you are not. Please read this, and know that you have been exposed as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Agreed; also disappointing Rick Scott has not stood up to McConnell and objected to the Senate being open during recess which prevents POTUS from recess appointments.
beautiful!
Excellent! Thank you Deplorable and Proud!
How often do you get the write something in the internet and know that Senator Rubio would be reading it with extreme pucker factor? Hello, jerk!
We need to repeal Amendment 17, which states that there is a direct election by the people to vote for the senators. Previously, the state senators would vote for the senators on behalf of their constituency, which is us. It was thought that the people’s vote would translate to more clear expression of the people’s will. Rather, deep pocketed special interest finance and coordinate their campaign so their people, people approved by Wall Street and foreign clients, like China, were elected into the Senate. I note that Diane Feinstein had a Chinese spy which coordinated the chinese people in her state to vote for her. Feinstein, instead of responding to state senators, is now directly beholden to China. Imagine the enormous cost to the US by her subtly nefarious, but, official dealings with China against us, for her elective benefit courtesy of China and amendment 17. Likewise, McConnel can place senators in lucrative committees to benefit wall street industries and these wall street captains fund the re-election campaign which crushes any unapproved opposition candidates to their own bought and paid for candidates.
The senate does not express the will of the people and we need to eliminate the outside special interest which stifles the people’s voice. Amendment 17 is the instrument to stifle our voices. The Founders built the Constitution to have the state senators elect the senators. The senate’s own website shows the ‘benefits’ of direct election of senators. This attempted coup, which has never been attempted before, the control of the coup from the senate, and the cover up of the coup by the senate, shows that amendment 17 is a mistake and, for the Republic, perhaps, a fatal mistake.
One more thing: Get rid of the primaries. After the primaries, the RNC and DNC are lined up behind their respective candidates with huge amount money. This is an anathema to a Republic because all it is is the billionaires club directly and indirectly supporting their candidates at the exclusion of the everyone else. This must stop. I do not know why I must vote for Lindsey Graham and not for any other republican candidate who is better. One may argue that I can. But, that will split the vote amongst the republican candidates while the democrat candidate enjoys the consolidated billionaires club support. None of these candidates should be selected by the RNC and DNC. In that way, the people’s choice is not suppressed by Wall Streets and their puppets like McConnel.
>>”We need to repeal Amendment 17, which states that there is a direct election by the people to vote for the senators. ”
How is that supposed to help matters? Do you seriously think that state legislatures would do a better job of picking US Senators?
Thanks John55; a little common sense goes a long way….
Some are just off the rails with anger lately.
Before the 17th Amendment, State Legislators could Recall a Senator from office and the Governor could appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of the Term. That ensured that a Senator would work for the interests of the State that sent them to Office.
After the 17th Amendment, a Senator is elected by popular vote. The State Legislature has No Authority to Recall the Senator from Office. This allows a Senator the “leeway” to cut deals on many levels and know they cannot be removed from Office except by the next Election. Senators serve a 6 year term of Office. So, they have 6 years to act as they please and 6 years for people to forget or be convinced the Senator is worthy of re-election. Fundamentally, this alters what the Constitution intended. Senators are supposed to represent the interests of their Home State and nothing else.
Repeal the 17th Amendment, and the States could then recall/remove a sitting Senator and the Governor of the State could appoint a replacement until the next Election.
Yes!!! The 17th Amendment is a complete travesty. If any Amendment should be repealed, it is this one.
Ike warned about the military industrial complex. Viet Nam created a bunch of males who did everything to avoid military service, many going into education and government. Washington, DC began to solidify it’s power through the Civil Rights and war efforts, extending the tentacles of Washington power down to the local level, the average community. Monies rolled into Washington in unheard amounts. Elected officials realized quickly they were the “master gatekeepers” not only of America but all other countries who wanted American attention, one way or the other.
As gatekeepers they exacted fees…finding a multitude of ways to hide them while enriching themselves way beyond their normal compensation. Washington became a manufacturing city in so many ways, only they produced nothing, just side deals to allow others to do the work.
Meanwhile the “baby boomers” advanced to power positions. Hell no, we won’t go!, Make love not war! Sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll! All those chants were replaced with greed, feeding at the trough of government any manner possible. Selling out to enrich one’s pockets became a daily operation.
The American taxpayer has been fleeced for decades, our country has been hollowed out in so many ways, our values trampled, our morals thrown overboard. Hollow politicians run this show.
Then, here comes Trump, a man who made his bones in real estate, dealing with these clowns for years. He knows the inside and outside of Washington’s games. What he didn’t know was how retched and deep the feeding by our elected politicians was, how nefarious they would be toward him.
Payback will come if President Trump can make it to a second term.
The dems, the media, and members of his own party intend to do whatever they can to stop Trump from getting a second term.
I would even bring on board a food taster if I were Trump!
guess you don’t remember the SS Agent who died in Scotland.
He prolly has a ‘food taster’ of sorts and lotsa other protection that no one can imagine.
I believe the SSCI is under investigation in the whole ball of wax too!! They’ve all signed their congressional death warrants……..which may lead to lots of staring at iron bars time outs
That sounds great – – – but very doubtful.
“There’s a reason why senior staff from Senator Ron Johnson’s committee and senior staff from Chuck Grassley’s committee are asking for SSCI documents. It might not come out before the election, but it will come out…” (emphasis mine)
Yeah, not too long ago my first priority was to get all the info out there, and to start bringing the conspirators to justice. But now I’m more than willing to wait a bit longer. Now it’s pretty obvious our focus needs to be on one thing: Winning this election! If we can get some justice in the meantime, that’s great, but if it has to wait till Trump’s hands are truly untied (after winning), then so be it.
It’s important that POTUS has an opportunity to show to everyone just who is who and what is what in this corrupt mess that has entangled so many since 2015.
This is a very tough job for anyone to accomplish.
But, if you pay attention, POTUS has a gift that keeps giving to all. He exposes the evil intentions of the evil and corrupt congress, deep state, media and others.
Why do you believe he is at 51% today,(?) and that’s with a Dem edge in the Rasmussen poll of about 4 pts.
It takes the average person about twice as long to absorb this information than is does for those of us who read this daily and study it daily.
Washington Redskins new name ….. Washington Swamps. Poop emoji on helmets.
driving home from dad listening to WMAL, The news on sports called them The Washington Football Team.
haha haha
That is their temporary name. Something to replace it later. By now, no one cares.
Presidential Trump’s Time For Total Release Of All Intelligence Timely, Accurate, and Insightful Information about the Activities, Capabilities, Plans, and Intentions of Foreign Powers, Organizations, and Persons, and their Agents, is essential to the National Security of the United States.
Includes all reasonable and lawful means must be used to ensure that the United States will receive the Best Intelligence possible. For that purpose, by virtue of the authority vested in Presidents by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the National Security Act of 1947, as amended, (Act) and as President of the United States of America, in order to provide for the effective conduct of United States Intelligence activities and the Protection of Constitutional Rights.
This includes Former President Obama’s Executive Order 13526, is order prescribes a uniform system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information, including information relating to defense against transnational terrorism. Our democratic principles require that the American people be informed of the activities of their Government.
Along with President Reagan’s Executive Order 12333, signed on 4 December 1981 by U.S. President Ronald Reagan, was an Executive Order intended to extend powers and responsibilities of U.S. intelligence agencies and direct the leaders of U.S. federal agencies to Co-operate fully with Presidential and CIA Requests for Information.
So Kamala Harris was a committee member at this time. Seems I have just computed that and now her rise is making more sense. Dumb, corrupt, offensive, commie, woman, add in a dash of minority privledge/victim hood and she is untouchable.
About the only hope for full disclosure of this sordid affair is that POTUS has this and will expose everything in a second term after he scrubs the DOJ clean: but, then, how will he scrub the DOJ with a basically unchanged Senate in his way.
Everybody has to have a back story . Grassley was Head of Senate Intell Committee before Miss Lindsey . Made same types of threats . This latest Sunshine item covers for Grassley et al . It is OK as long all of them get just a little bit of mud on them . Poor judgment but we were not trying to overthrow Trump .
That is the only thing that holds them back from complete destruction of Trump and gives them pause: an armed populace that knows everything standing right behind Trump.
Which is why they are trying to get us to fight with each other on the streets in a made up war about race. It won’t work. Too many of us know what they have done and what they are trying to do. They will never have peace politically if this continues.
Just my opinion, but if the bullets ever start flying, fellow citizens won’t be the first people lined up in the sights. I think the SWAMP knows that.
You’d think the SWAMP would be hoping President Trump is reelected, but no… hubris.
That’s the message all those videos of various Trump Parades is sending. There are a LOT of people who support our President.
So why not someone go on Lou Dobbs and reveal the real reason SSCI won’t release the info together. With a short version of how Warner,Burr and others assisted in the coup to take down President Trump. If you have watched L. Dobbs the last couple of shows he is disgusted and frustrated enuf to reveal these corrupt senators. Just thinking outloud
Grassley & Johnson probably knew ahead of time their request would be denied. The US Senate is corrupt.
Good Lord, what an awful, slimey, arrogant, repugnant group of Senators. Rubio will need to be “hobbled” somehow. We all know his participation in production of the dossier.
guess he’s paid his price to the admission into the “club”. He’s a Mitch boy now.
Mitch’s B!tch…
Okay, I have to ask the obvious question: If the GOP members of the SSCI were intent on removing PDJT from office, why did none of them vote to remove him from office during the shampeachment trial?
Not doubting the corruption of that committee, but they seemed to have fallen well short of the alleged goal. Could be they just wanted to stall PDJT’s agenda as much as possible by tying him up with muh Russia nonsense.
It’s the same reason all those who claimed there was evidence of Russia collusion in the press said there wasn’t when they were under Oath…and vote to convict on impeachment would have put themselves out there officially to their voting base as a Republican turncoat (or as a like to call it: a Romney)
If they removed him from office on what were clearly bogus charges, that would demolish once and for all the myth that we have two competing parties. And that myth is extremely valuable to the ruling Uniparty. Without it Americans are apt to to start thinking “We need a second political party in this country”.
They were stalling until covid was all set up.
They wanted PT in place for that, they don’t want to just remove him, he is too strong, they want to destroy him.
They won’t.
They will destroy themselves trying.
Plus, shutting down the impeachment gave those dirty dogs some good will, no? “Mitch saved PT”. Lol
They just keep passing the baton, that’s the only reason mueller was shut down, to pass it on schiff and gang.
Because the House voted first and not a single Republican in the House voted in favor. McConnell thus knew there were enough Republicans in the House that would call him out along with any Republican Senator that voted in favor him. He used Romney to stick it to President Trump as the only “Republican” defector. That was safe because everyone knows Pierre Delecto is a complete loser that no one takes seriously.
“Okay, I have to ask the obvious question: If the GOP members of the SSCI were intent on removing PDJT from office, why did none of them vote to remove him from office during the shampeachment trial?”
Most of the Republicans in the Senate who were up for re-election this year had not yet won their primaries. There would have been a blood bath if they had voted to impeach President Trump.
You’re all basically answering the rhetorical question I posted above. Republicans were never going to vote to impeach and remove PDJT from office because it would have ended their own political careers!
One only need look at the ruined aspirations of one Willard “Mittens” Romney, aka Pierre Dilecto, to see what would happen to a turncoat Republican.
So, I guess this means that there are “political silos” between the Senate committees as well as in the DoJ, eh?!? Gee, all the big boys in the big clubs get to play in all these big nifty shell games!
The Turtle is well nicknamed!
How curiously quaint those old archaic rules seem until needed to shield congressional committees from sunshine…or from we the people…or from even fellow congressional committees!
No worries folks, we will have at least six more books written by all involved as that’s all the resolution we will get. Not to be pessimistic just all I see so far is many many books being written probably by ghost writers as all are just trying to capitalize without any resolution or conclusions including indictments..
Little Rubio…small hands and even smaller character…
