11:41:12 HUNT: I was hoping to get a little bit more context on the press conference that the two of you just had. The White House didn't give you what you asked for, are they acting in good faith? 11:41:23 CHAFFETZ: Yeah, the White House is. And look, we were seeing documents from the Department of Defense and the Secretary of State's office. The reality is I just don't think there are any documents because General Flynn was required to proactively ask permission prior to engaging with Russia and Turkey. Not only was he supposed to ask for permission, he was supposed to get permission, and he didn't. This goes back for a year prior to Donald Trump ever becoming the President. So, it's not as if the White House isn't responding, there just aren't documents, and that's the problem. He was supposed to seek and obtain permission prior, and it doesn't appear as if he did. 11:42:05 HUNT: So you're saying there are no documents because Michael Flynn didn't handle this correctly 11:42:09 CHAFFETZ: Correct, that's what the law requires. The law requires for you to seek and obtain permission, from this case the Secretary of the Army, as well as the Secretary of State. It doesn't appear as if he has. So the final determination really needs to come out of the army. I know the inspector general, the Department of Defense, he's also involved. But the letter that Elijah Cummings and I are going to jointly send is for them to make this final determination. 11:42:35 HUNT: Now couldn't the White House have given you Michael Flynn's SR86 security clearance form? 11:42:39 CHAFFETZ: I'm not sure that they're going to make that public, but I think they will make that available, and have 11:42:47 HUNT: Do you think Michael Flynn broke the law? 11:42:490 CHAFFETZ: It doesn't appear as if he complied with the law. Now, we need the final determination to be made, but the inspector general of the Department of Defense is there, we were obviously involved, but I don't see any evidence that he actually did comply with the law 11:43:02 HUNT: Are you going to run for Governor of Utah in 2020? 11:43:04 CHAFFETZ: Definite maybe. I don't know.

NO COLLUSION NO OBSTRUCTION FOR THE HATERS AND THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS GAME-GIVER

Dr Shaym 18 hours ago You are showing flat Earther levels of denial if you believe there's even the slimmest possibility that Trump will still be convicted of collusion with Russia after today. We're looking at 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, more than 230 orders for communication records, almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviews with 500 witnesses over the course of 22 months. The 9/11 attacks weren't investigated this thoroughly. It's over. Trump is drinking your milkshake.

White House refuses to provide Flynn documents

April 19, 2017 The Honorable Jason Chaffetz Chairman The Honorable Elijah E. Cummings Ranking Member United States House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 2157 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairman Chaffetz and Ranking Member Cummings: ormer National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (Ret.). Your letter requests information and/or documents in connection with a review by the Thank you for your letter of March 22, 2017 to Chief of Staff Reince Priebus regarding Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (Committe) of Lt. Gen. Flynn's disclosure of payments that he reportedly received from entities affiliated with the Russian and Turkish governmen Requests 1 and 2 seek information and documents related to Lt. Gen. Flynn's security clearance, including excerpts from his Form SF-86 and certain "lilnvestigative and adjudicative files." Lt. Gen. Flynn's security clearance was adjudicated and held by the Defense Intelligence Agency, a component of the Department of Defense. We therefore refer you to the Department of Defense for these materials Request 3 seeks documents "referring or relating to Lt. Gen. Flynn's contacts with foreign nationals," including “direct or indirect communications between Lt. Gen. Flynn and oreign government officials, representatives, affiliates, or agents." To the extent this request eks documents pre-dating January 20, 2017, they generally would not be in the possession, custody, or control of this office. With respect to documents post-dating January 20, Lt. Gen. Flynn likely had contacts th a significant number of foreign nationals in his official capacity as National Security dviser. Many, if not all, documents relating to such contacts are likely to contain classified, sensitive, and/or confidential information. Moreover, it is unclear how such documents would levant to the stated purpose of the Committee's review, which according to your letter is to kamine Lt. Gen. Flynn's disclosure of payments related to activities that occurred in 2015 an 2016, prior to his service in the White House. In light of these issues, we are unable to accommodate Request 3. Finally, Requests 4 through 6 seek documents relating to Lt. Gen. Flynn's receipt o funds from foreign sources, efforts “to seek permission or approval" for any such payments, a

The unprofessional investigation

The committee previously announced that seven staffers had been assigned to review classified documents related to the Russia investigation. These are the majority and minority staff directors, joined by three Republican aides and two Democratic aides "We have devoted seven professional staff positions to this investigation. These are staffers who already had the clearance," Burr said on March 29 Of the seven staffers so far assigned to review classified documents related to the Russia investigation, none of them has prosecutorial or investigative experience, according to three sources with ties to the committee, Most of them lack a background in Russia expertise. Not one of the severn is a lawyer. "I don't see how you can do this without trained investigators and prosecutors. I think you need to have expertise on the intel side and on the prosecution side. You would ideally need someone who knows how to do a counterintelligence operation," said Scott Horton, an attorney who has focused on anti-corruption investigations, with a specialization in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet states. The investigation already faces a series of obstacles that have heavy requirements on time: the classification of documents, the location of documents at various agencies, and an incredible volume of material But of the seven staffers, none has been assigned full-time to the work of the Russia probe, according to four sources with ties to the committee. Every one of the seven staffers has other oversight responsibilities, and thus a dual-hatted role that prevents them from focusing singularly orn the investigation. Of the seven, two are the staff directors of the committee-an enormously demanding job even in the calmest of circumstances, which limits their involvement. One of the seven even attends law school part-time.

Donald knows of Russia's botnet

Donald Trump's link to the hack on the US election appears to be far more direct than anybody thought - with Russian money, washed into his campaign, paying for Russian hackers who attacked both state voter registration databases and the DNC. Trump also appears to have had direct personal knowledge of the propaganda botnet used by Russia.

Mike Quigley travels to Cyprus

After all, the House Intelligence Committee was where FBI Director James Comey dropped the bombshell that the Bureau was undertaking an ongoing investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. The committee appears to be expanding its investigation-Rep. Mike Quigley, a Democratic member of the committee, told The Daily Beast that he traveled Russia investigation. "We believe that we're going to move forward in a positive way," Quigley said. "The feeling among Democrats is cautiously optimistic. Reset, reboot, move forward."

Russian money laundering

Sources linked to the intelligence community say that Donald Trump accepted laundered Russian money which, through shell companies, supported Russian hackers as they attacked America - and then supported Wikileaks and Julian Assange as he published the results of those hacks.

No dedicated Staffers?!

More than three months after the committee announced that it had agreed on the scope of the investigation, the panel has not begun substantially investigating possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, three individuals with ties to the committee told The Daily Beast. e investigation does not have a single staffer dedicated to it full-time, and ose staff members working on it part-time do not have significant nvestigative experience. slower than prior Senate Intelligence Committee investigations, such as the CIA . The probe currently appears to be moving at a pace torture inquiry, which took years to accomplish No interviews have been conducted with key individuals suspected of being in the Trump-Russia orbit: not Michael Flynn, not Roger Stone, not Carter Page, not Paul Manafort, and not Jared Kushner, according to two sources familiar with the committee's procedures.

Is the Senate Intelligence Committee really investigating the Trump-Russia ties?

In one hint about the inadequacies of the investigation, Senate Intelligence Committee member Sen. Ron Wyden last month sent a letter to the Republican and Democrat heads of the panel, imploring them to look into financial relationships between Russia, President Trump, and his associates. The implication behind the letter? That the committee wasn't already looking into it

Russian think-tank strategizes involvement in US election

Not only did Russian state-run media cover the trip, but a prominent government-run think tank involved in election-meddling efforts put out a press release heralding Page's visit. The leader of the Russian Institute for Strategic Studie, Leonid Reshetnikov, painted Page as an influential adviser to Trump and said his visit could help improve US-Russian relations. "It's quite possible that Trump's advisor is a pragmatist and a realist," Reshetnikov said, according to a translation of his comments in Russian. "This is probably not an ordinary visit. He has probably received some instructions from the President-elect. I don't think that meetings at the highest level will take place, but (the possibility) cannot be excluded." Reuters reported this week that the group was involved in Russia's efforts to interfere in the US election. The organization sent recommendations to top Kremlin leaders with plans of how to use its propaganda machine to help Trump and undermine Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Carter Page: FBI person of interest for years

The FBI had Page on their radar for at least four years, according to court documents and US officials. The bureau also knew about Page from its 2013 investigation into a Russian spy ring in New York. One of the spies was taped saying he tried to recruit Page, and Page admitted meeting him. But Page says he didn't share anything sensitive and didn't know he was talking to a spy. He also traveled to Russia frequently and interacted with officials that the FBl was concerned were acting on behalf of the government. His trip to Russia in July 2016 revived the FBl's interest, when he delivered a lecture at a graduation ceremony for the New Economic School. The university opened after the fall of the Soviet Union and is ranked as one of the best universities for economics in Russia. Former President Barack Obama gave a speech there during his first official trip to Russia in 2009 But Page's lecture sounded different than what would be expected from most Americans. He parroted Kremlin talking points by chastising the West for prolonging "Cold War tendencies."
