I don't work for the Administration. It's up to them, and especially Flynn to comply if you want this done soon, and as we saw yesterday, Flynn will not comply with our subpoena.

Why should he? There has been numerous people who have refused to comply with congressional subpoenas over the last decade with no repercussions. I see no upside for him in complying.

Because the information will be obtained one way or the other. At least if you comply you have some control of exactly what we get a hold of since you only have to respond to the questions that are asked by the committee.

Because Flynn had connections to the Administration, the Admin is going to be under investigation. I am not a liberty to say if there is anything on POTUS or not, but I do know that as far as the SCOI goes, the actual investigative work is really just beginning.

I suspect there are plenty of people in the know, at this point. But everyone appreciates that the system has to go through it's steps.

I think the info is just at Public Trust so anyone with a clearance up here can review it. I'm ****ing shocked nothing has leaked from the evidence yet. It might be classified, i can't rememebr.

EDIT for clarity:

There isn't a ton of evidence on anything yet either. It's pretty limited. I'm just surprised nobody's leaked it.

“But just to be clear, there has been no actual evidence yet?” Stein asked.

“No, it has not been,” Waters admitted. “No, it has not.

I think it's spot on and will probably be nominated for a Peabody in the "Best Cover" category. It summarizes the current situation perfectly. It is possibly the biggest and most important story since 9-11.

So let me get this straight, this Russian thing, which to date there has been no legitimate proof of any coorelation between Trump and Russia is as big a story as roughly 3,000 people dying on 9/11.

You just proved you are a nutjob.

More on my own account, lol. Waters is completely wrong, though it could have been submitted under just the Senate investigation docs. I'm not sure how that works on the House side, though they should have access to everything that was obtained from the Administration and from the campaigns (both HRC's and Trump's).

Thursday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz called into question the purpose of the Department of Justice naming Robert Mueller as a special counsel to investigate Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election.

Dershowitz argued Mueller’s appointment would benefit Trump given that “collaborating with the Russians” to get elected wasn’t illegal and Mueller’s role would be to investigate illegalities.

“ think he will be the beneficiary of the special prosecutor,” Dershowitz said. “A special prosecutor is supposed to investigate a crime and most of the things that have been leveled at the Trump administration are not criminal acts. Collaborating with the Russians to get yourself elected — not a criminal act. Terrible, morally wrong, but not criminal. The same thing is true with the leaking of the information to the Russians.”

Host Anderson Cooper and Dershowitz’s fellow panelists Jeffrey Toobin and Carl Bernstein argued the investigation should proceed, but Dershowitz insisted there wasn’t a criminal statute about what Trump and his campaign have been accused.

“Let’s assume that that’s true — show me the criminal statute,” he said. “I still sit here as a civil libertarian. I don’t want us ever to become what Stalinist Russia became when Stalin was told by Lavrentiy Beria, ‘Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.’ What is the crime?”

Cooper said the question wasn’t whether or not it was illegal collusion or just collusion but if it occurred, to which Dershowitz said that wasn’t something over which Mueller would have jurisdiction.

“[T]hat is a political issue, but that doesn’t give Mueller jurisdiction,” he added. “Mueller has no jurisdiction to explore whether he made political mistakes, did terrible things, engaged in wrongdoing. Only criminal acts.”
