Looks like Johnny’s got some ‘splainin to do.
Former Hillary Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta was hauled in front of the House Intelligence Committee during a closed session on Tuesday – ostensibly to answer questions about the Obama administratio’s handling of intelligence that Russia tried to hack state voting systems – and, strangely enough, it’s Democrats who are taking the credit for bringing him in.
As Bloomberg reported, Podesta met behind closed doors with the committee to answer questions about exactly why former President Barack Obama decided to sit on intelligence reports that Russia-backed hackers tried to infiltrate voting systems in 20 states after President Donald Trump took to twitter to point out the obvious hypocrisy in how Congress has aggressively scrutinized him for “collusion” and “obstruction” when it’s becoming increasingly clear that Democrats committed these exact offenses.
And now, Democrats, including Californians Dianne Feinstein, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Adam Schiff, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, are apparently turning on their own.
Feinstein endorsed launching a probe into Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s campaign-era conduct – a probe that will likely center on a suspicious meeting between Lynch and former President Bill Clinton less than a week before former FBI Director James Comey said the bureau had concluded its probe into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information. Also, as Comey reminded us during his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this month, Lynch pressured him to soften his language about the Clinton probe and refer to it as a “matter” – the same language the campaign was using.
