Richard Burr is taking heat from many in the GOP, over forcing Trump Jr. back to testify. Many truth seekers though are applauding Republican Senate Intelligence Committee Chairmen Richard Burr in his efforts, but I don’t. Remember this is the same person who said he has found no evidence of collusion/conspiracy while his committee is still in progress. While his democratic partner Mark Warner has said, clearly there is evidence. And recently we find out, he is mentioned in the Mueller report. That he high tailed his butt to the White House to share classified information. Make no mistake about it, Richard Burr is not on the side of seeking the truth. The Senate Intelligence Committee is not a bipartisan effort. They have hinted a number of times, that they will have two reports just like the severely divided House Intelligence Committee led by Devin Nunes had.
So you might ask, why is Chairman Burr forcing Trump Jr. back to testify? There’s only one answer. To give Trump Jr. an out. To give him a chance to correct his testimony and avoid prosecution. That’s it period. Think about it. They already know he lied before the committee, so they don’t need him to recant his story to prove he lied. They can refer that he be prosecuted right now if they wanted. So the only objective in bringing him forth, would be to score some brownie points for finally telling the truth, and to keep his butt out of jail.
Sam Patten, Michael Cohn and Roger Stone all lied to Congress and none were brought back to recant their stories. They were prosecuted straight away. Burr can only be forcing Trump Jr. back to give him a chance to stay out of jail. This is a great move by Burr. It makes him look like he is again seeking the truth, after the damning revelations in the Mueller Report. But in reality,…. it is to help Trump Jr. avoid prosecution.
Fortunately, with this Administration’s stance in blocking everything, it makes it difficult for Trump Jr. to appear without being drawn and quartered. And even if he does appear, Trump Jr. could screw himself by pleading the fifth. Not sure if this Administration understands what Richard Burr is offering them.
