Adam Schiff plans to haul Matt Whitaker before Congress on Mueller probe

Add to the list of Trump administration investigations planned by Rep. Adam Schiff, incoming chairman of the House Intelligence Committee: a probe into whether acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker is doing anything to impede the special counsel.

“We are going to bring Whitaker before the Congress, assuming he’s still in his position at the time when Democrats take over,” Mr. Schiff said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We may bring him in whether he’s in that position or not, to find out the answers to these questions.”

Asked if he had seen Mr. Whitaker take any “concrete steps” to shut down the investigation, Mr. Schiff said he had not, criticizing Mr. Whitaker for “not telling us.”

“The fact of the matter is, he’s not telegraphing what he’s doing. He’s not telling us, he’s not telling anyone, at least in Congress,” Mr. Schiff said.

Democrats have accused President Trump of naming Mr. Whitaker, who was appointed Nov. 7 to take over after the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, to derail special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Mr. Schiff said he had a host of questions for Mr. Whitaker, including whether he has presented Mr. Mueller with a deadline for wrapping up the probe and “whether he will allow Mueller to subpoena the president.”

“We simply don’t know, but I’ll tell you this, Dana, we’re going to find out,” he told CNN anchor Dana Bash. “The American people need to know whether this president is obstructing justice.”

Mr. Schiff also said that he plans to look into the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed last month in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey, the president’s financial holdings, and whether Mr. Trump’s investments have affected U.S. foreign policy.

“I think the president is being dishonest with the American people,” Mr. Schiff said. “I don’t know why. Frankly, the president has been dishonest with the country about a great many things. But I think what is most important here is we need to speak up for our democratic values.”

Adam Schitt must be very, very frightened right now. Q did say people were nervous.

Elijah Cummings says U.S. must let caravan migrants enter: 'That's the law'

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Sunday, November 25, 2018

Rep. Elijah Cummings, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, said Sunday that caravan migrants seeking asylum should be able to enter the country immediately, challenging President Trump’s efforts to keep them in Mexico while their cases are processed.

“That’s not the law. They should be allowed to come in, seek asylum. That’s the law,” Mr. Cummings said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Asked if he would support changing the law, the Maryland Democrat said, “No.”

Mr. Trump is seeking a deal with Mexico in which the thousands of asylum-seeking migrants massing on the southern border would remain there until their applications are approved, insisting he will close the border if necessary.

Mr. Cummings said he disagreed with the effort.

“I think we have a system that has worked for a long time,” the Maryland Democrat said. “This president’s come in, wants to change it. That’s up to him. But now the Congress has got to stand up, and hopefully they will.”

Mr. Cummings, who is expected to take over the committee in January, was also asked if he thought what Mr. Trump was doing was constitutional.

“I don’t know,” he said. “We’ll see.”

Mr. Cummings doing the bidding of the NWO, it seems. Do any Democrats not? Curious.
