I've been feeling this too.
So is Mueller dirty, and RR is not?
Disinformation is necessary?
You got to keep going anon!
Why did Sessions pick RR?
Everyone has an opinion.
Few have the facts.
Few know the plan.

White House says former official can speak to Oversight panel next week

The White House has agreed to allow former personnel security director Carl Kline speak to the House Oversight and Reform Committee next week, the White House counsel said in a letter Friday obtained by The Hill.
White House Counsel Pat Cipollone wrote to Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), the top Republican on the Oversight panel, after Jordan urged the administration to make Kline available for a voluntary transcribed interview on April 30 or May 1.
Cipollone wrote Friday that "we have consulted with Mr. Kline's attorney regarding the interview dates proposed in your letter. Mr. Kline is available to appear for an interview on Wednesday, May 1."

"We understand the scope of the interview will be limited to White House personnel security policies and practices, consistent with our prior offers for Mr. Kline's voluntary cooperation with the Committee. We also understand that, as a matter of fairness, Mr. Kline may be accompanied by both his personal counsel and a representative of the Office of Counsel to the President," he added.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the chairman of the Oversight panel, had issued a subpoena for Kline to testify before the committee on its investigation into the White House security clearance process.
Cummings blasted the White House this week for blocking Kline from testifying and signaled that he would pursue contempt proceedings against the former top official, who left his role at the White House and now works at the Pentagon.
Cummings's staff did not immediately return a request for comment on Friday night.
An appearance by Kline on Wednesday would also come the same day Attorney General William Barr is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee for the first of two days of testimony on Capitol Hill.
Barr is expected to face questions from lawmakers over his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report as well as his decision to not pursue an obstruction of justice charge against the president based on Mueller's findings.

Rubio says hackers penetrated Florida elections systems

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) told The New York Times on Friday that hackers penetrated a Florida county’s elections system in 2016.
Rubio's comments come a week after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report revealed that Russians sent malicious software to Florida county government officials overseeing the 2016 election.
Rubio, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told The Times that there was an intrusion into a county’s elections system but that the target or targets were not notified.
He said national security officials opted to issue a blanket warning about hacking efforts as a way to protect intelligence methods.

“Everybody has been told what it is they need to do to protect themselves from the intrusion,” Rubio said. “I don’t believe the specific victims of the intrusion have been notified. The concern was that in a number of counties across the country, there are a couple of people with the attitude of: ‘We’ve got this; we don’t need your help. We don’t think we need to do what you are telling us we need to do.’”
Rubio told the newspaper that the hackers were “in a position” to change voter roll data, but it does not appear they did so.
“My biggest concern is that on Election Day you go vote and have mass confusion because voter registration information has been deleted from the systems,” he said.
Rubio and former Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) wrote a letter to Florida’s top election official last year calling on him to seek federal assistance in securing the state’s elections systems.
A spokesperson for Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) told The Hill on Friday that “the FBI has reached out and is working on scheduling a briefing with Senator Scott in the next few weeks” to brief him and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) about the hacking detailed in Mueller’s report.
Scott, who was governor during the 2016 election, sent a letter to the FBI last week asking to confirm the hacking. For his part, DeSantis has expressed frustration with what he says is a lack of transparency from federal authorities.
“They won’t tell us which county it was, are you kidding me?” he said at a Thursday press conference in Miami. “Why would you have not said something immediately?”
