Fusion GPS House Transcripts Withheld

Representative Adam Schiff, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, is pressing Republicans to release transcripts of testimony connected to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

The committee panel interviewed Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson in November 2017, but information collected during that interview hasn’t been made public. Fusion GPS is the opposition research firm responsible for the Trump-Russia dossier, a 35-page report alleging collusion between members of President Trump’s campaign team and the Russian government.

Representative Devin Nunes, the Republican who chairs the Intelligence Committee, must agree to release the transcripts. That doesn’t seem likely to happen anytime soon. Mr. Nunes, an ardent Trump supporter, has been accused of using his position as committee chair to protect the President.

Trump Can’t Stop Lying

Yesterday, the House Intelligence Committee questioned both National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers and FBI Director James Comey regarding Russian efforts to influence 2016 presidential election.

The five-hour hearing answered two important questions. First, we now know the FBI is actively investigating allegations that members of President Trump’s 2016 Campaign team actively worked with the Russians to undermine Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

“We’re investigating whether there was any coordination between people associated with the Trump campaign and the Russians,” Comey said.

And secondly, there is absolutely no evidence to support Mr. Trump’s accusations that President Obama wiretapped Trump Towers prior to the 2016 elections.

“The FBI and the Justice Department have no information to support’’ Mr. Trump’s wiretap accusations, Comey said.

At this point, the media needs to stop calling Mr. Trump’s statements unsubstantiated claims. They are lies. He isn’t some college bro lying to his buddies about getting laid. He is the President of the United States lying about all types of petty bullshit.

Mr. Trump has always had a truth problem. And it isn’t like his fucktard voters didn’t know it.  During the 2016 campaign, PolitiFact found 70 percent of Trump’s campaign statements to be complete false. Think about that for a moment. Seven out of every ten thing he said were complete and total bullshit.

But when called out on his truth dodging fuckary, Mr Trump just keeps repeating the same bullshit lie over and over again. It is like he thinks that through sheer repetition, his bullshit will magically be transformed into truth.

And he then attacks those who call him out for his bullshit.

Donald Trump is a man with absolutely no integrity. He is a man that can’t be trusted. He is a man that will do and say whatever he thinks gets him what he wants.

And he is also the President of the United States.
