As I wrote a few days ago, Republican Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr’s reason for issuing Trump Jr. back to testify, was nothing but a gift to the Trump family,… so Trump Jr. could avoid prosecution with lying to congress. Him coming back to amend his testimony, is a gift neither Michael Cohn nor Sam Patten were afforded. Both were found guilty and jailed for lying to congress. Roger Stone is also charged with this crime. Doesn’t look like he will be called back to amend his testimony either.
Make no mistake, this isn’t a moment of clarity by any Senate Republicans looking to seek the truth,… as has been reported here and elsewhere in the mainstream news. It is nothing but a scheme by the GOP to inoculate Don Jr. from prosecution.
This Grand Old Party is contemptuous. They are complicit in the obstruction this administration blatantly flaunts on a daily basis.
Is it any wonder why Trump is willing to allow this one and only subpoena to be answered,... when he has fully ignored each and every lawful request to date? With incredibly exposing his namesake to possible legal peril no less? Well it shouldn’t be puzzling any longer.
Richard Burr is complicit in obstruction. And he was probably the last GOP Senator left, that had any shred of credibility or decency. Well actually that ended when he was mentioned in the Mueller report, high tailing his butt to the White House to share classified information. I have such a strong urge to one day meet this guy on the street, and give him a piece of my mind. I just detest sneaky snakes.
And I’ll bet one of those 12 ongoing investigations shipped out by Mueller, has to do with Junior. Otherwise why would it be so important for Trump to allow this one and only subpoena to be answered,... amid his full blockade of not complying with anyone? I’ll bet Junior is named in one of those investigations or maybe some other stand alone inquiry. Mark my words.
Of course, if Junior comes clean and the Dems don’t trip him up, get him to perjure himself again,... then any ongoing investigation he might be the target of, will be tougher to make. And as a result, might not make the light of day.
You watch, Richard Burr will come out after Don Jr’s testimony, praising how forthright, willing and eager he was to clarify any confusion caused by his previous testimony. And how it would be his great honor, to stand along with the likes of the distinguished Lindsey Graham, deep inside up Trump’s butt hole.
