Schiff Slams White House ‘Subterfuge’ on Russian Federation

I’m not going to give Mike-Mike Flynn or anyone else legal advice from the podium.

Flynn included the speaking fees in disclosure forms he filed Friday, according to the documents.

White House officials say some Obama holdovers are part of a so-called deep state out to tear Trump down. Nunes then briefed the president about the documents before sharing the information in them with the House Intelligence Committee, a decision Nunes subsequently said he regretted.

“It doesn’t need to be done, you know, by night through stealth at the White House”. That process was suspended, however, after he resigned.

“It certainly is an attempt to distract and to hide the origin of the materials, to hide the White House hand”, Schiff said Sunday.

The disclosure forms show Flynn made as much as $1.5 million past year.

Flynn had reported his speaking-engagement income, in general, but he did not list who had paid him for individual speaking engagements. Very serious issue about whether U.S. Persons were involved and an investigation that is being conducted by the FBI into possible coordination with the trump campaign and I think among the most serious business the country has to do right now.

Flynn’s new disclosure also details a $10,000 payment for a speech in NY last October paid by Ibrahim Kurtulus, a NY financial adviser who is also listed as an advisory board member for the Turkish American National Steering Committee.

National Security Adviser Michael Flynn listens to remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast where U.S. President Donald Trump spoke February 2, 2017 in Washington, DC.

Any decision to offer Flynn immunity would come from USA attorneys and the Department of Justice.

In addition to the speeches, Flynn earned more than $1.3 million for work for technology firms, political groups and government contractors as well as lobbying for a firm owned by a Turkish businessman.

Separate investigations have been launched by both the House of Representatives and the Senate into the influence of Russian hacking on the United States presidential election.

The White House official that tried to smokescreen Schiff made a huge mistake that ended up adding evidence to claim that the Trump administration is trying to cover-up the Russian Federation scandal. Former Obama officials contend that intelligence was not publicly leaked, but disseminated to pockets of the government where officials had clearance to see classified reports. They are doing it already in Europe. But the documents nevertheless offer a portrait into the lives of several key White House aides, especially those who came from Wall Street or have other ties to the financial industry.

PLAIN VANILLA: Flynn may have been Trump’s longest serving foreign policy adviser, joining the nascent campaign in August 2015, but he knows bupkis.

“We are trying to avoid the distractions outside of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s investigation”, Cornyn said. Trump and his aides have accused former officials of inappropriately disclosing – or “unmasking” – the names of Trump associates whose conversations were picked up by US intelligences agencies.
