GOP Senate Intel committee subpoenad Donald Trump jr. today - Russia investigation
 

That's theiving little weasel shouldn't have lied to Congress :1orglaugh

the other Russia investigation you're going strong :thumbsup

"The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr. to answer questions about his previous testimony before Senate investigators in relation to the Russia investigation, sources with direct knowledge told Axios."

Senate Intel Committee subpoenas Trump Jr. over Russia matters

Why it matters: It's the first congressional subpoena — that we know about — of one of President Trump's children. The subpoena sets up a fight that's unprecedented in the Trump era: A Republican committee chair pit against the Republican president's eldest son.

It's also a sign that the Russia investigations in Congress aren't over despite the conclusion of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe and despite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell saying it's time to move on from the Russia probe.
A Senate Intelligence Committee spokesperson told Axios: "We do not discuss the details of witness engagements with the Committee. Throughout the investigation, the Committee has reserved the right to recall witnesses for additional testimony as needed, as every witness and witness counsel has been made aware."
"Don and Senate Intel agreed from the very beginning that he would appear once to testify before the committee and would remain for as long as it took to answer all of their questions. He did that. We're not sure why we're fighting with Republicans," a source close to Trump Jr. told Axios.
Between the lines: Mueller, whose investigation did not find a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, did not indict Trump Jr., despite speculation that he would.

Unlike many congressional investigations in the Trump era, the Senate Intelligence probe — led by Republican chairman Richard Burr and Democratic vice chair Mark Warner — has been largely bipartisan.
The fact that they're subpoenaing Trump Jr. is a strong signal that he declined a request to appear before the committee again.
The backstory: Trump Jr. testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2017 that he was only "peripherally aware" of proposed plans for the Moscow project. His testimony was released. He testified for a total of more than 25 hours with three different committees, per a source familiar with the situation.

In an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham in January 2019, Trump Jr. downplayed his knowledge of the discussions about a possible Trump Tower in Moscow, saying that the project was a creation of President Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen: "We don't know anything about it. Ultimately, it was Michael Cohen essentially trying to get a deal done."
What we know: Cohen claimed in his testimony before the House Oversight Committee in February that Trump Jr. was more aware of the project than that. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Cohen testified, he briefed Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump about the proposed Trump Tower Moscow project about 10 times.

The project was formalized in a letter of intent signed by Trump in October 2015, per CNN, and the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump Organization talked about the project with a Russian developer.
And Buzzfeed reported in January that there were architectural plans and drawings showing what the tower would have looked like.
Worth noting: Cohen pleaded guilty in November to lying to Congress. He reported to prison on Monday to serve out his three-year prison sentence.

Go deeper ... Timeline: Here's what we know about Trump Tower Moscow

Did Nazi that one coming at least by the Senate....

Yeah they asked him to testify and he refused so they had to subpoena him.

Do you think Barr would prosecute him if they charge him with lying under oath?

Any day now....

Your team subpoenaed your guy's lying thieving son :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Trump Jr. has just said that he is going to fight the GOP's subpoena.

Evidently the GOP Senate Intel committee has him on two perjury charges.

Maybe daddy Trump will claim his donor sperm is executive privilege

trump supporters are dumb as fuck :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I don't blame him.

I wouldn't give you dumb libs a single fucking thing you want.

At this point we know you don't care about the truth. You just want to find something to impeach him over because you can't beat him.

It's all you have.

You've given up on beating him because he's the best thing that's happened to this country in many decades.

Anyone who read the Mueller report knows it's 400 plus pages of collusion and obstruction of justice. It's sicking.

This is collusion.

Directly from the Mueller report:

Gates also reported that Manafort instructed him in April 2016 or early May 2016 to send Kilimnik Campaign internal polling data and other updates so that Kilimnik, in turn, could share it with Ukrainian oli archs. 888 Gates understood that the information would also be shared with Deripaska . 889 Gates reported to the Office that he did not know why Manafort wanted him to send polling information , but Gates thought it was a way to showcase Manafort 's work, and Manafort wanted to open doors to jobs after the Trump Campaign ended. 890 Gates said that Manafort 's instruction included sending internal polling data prepared for the Trump Campaign by pollster Tony Fabrizio. 891 Fabrizio had worked with Manafort for years and was brought into the Campaign by Manafort . Gates stated that, in accordance with Manafort's instruction , he periodically sent Kilimnik polling data via WhatsApp ; Gates then deleted the communications on a daily basis. 892 Gates further told the Office that, after Manafort left the Campaign in mid-August , Gates sent Kilimnik polling data less frequently and that the data he sent was more publicly available information and less internal data.

They sent polling data directly to the Russians, which then used it to target swing states.

My take...

Republicans already know that Trump will be impeached in the House. They know the House will get the full Mueller report and they know Mueller testimony will be damning..


They dont care about any of this but will drag their feet kicking and screaming until they cant do so anymore. They still.want to appear as they did something other than help cover it up..


They wont turn on Trump because they suddenly have a change of heart and open their eyes.. No they will turn on Trump only to save their own asses because they know damn well that once the House starts impeachment hearings that everything Trump did will be laid out on the news each and everyday for weeks

There will be no hiding behind the fact they know their supporters didnt read it. It will all be read to them for weeks and weeks..


After that they will have no choice but to abandon Trump because they will have only crazed lunatics still supporting them.

yes it makes complete sense...instead of shutting everybody the fuck up he just thickens the plot...genius...

The GOP Senate Intel committee isn't "dumb libs" you fucking retard.

Trump Jr. is caught in 2 perjury lies and the GOP is calling him on it.

The GOP is turning on the Trumps and you literally cannot wrap your trump cum filled head around it :1orglaugh
