Grassley denies calls for Sessions to testify on Russian ambassador meetings...

republicans don't investigate republicans....even when our democracy is at stake.


(CNN)Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Friday denied calls by his Democratic colleagues to bring Attorney General Jeff Sessions before the panel in the coming days to testify about his meetings with the Russian ambassador.

But that doesn't mean Sessions isn't going to provide a response to the Democratic lawmakers' questions about the meetings, which they outlined in a letter to Grassley on Friday calling for a hearing.

In response, Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said, "In light of the letter received from Senators late this afternoon, the Attorney General will respond to their questions along with his amended testimony on Monday."

Earlier Friday, the Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee, including ranking member Dianne Feinstein, requested Grassley call Sessions before the panel, saying a written submission from the attorney general to correct the record would not be sufficient.

the Republican Party is in so much trouble that all they have left is Stonewall every thing coming at them. Grassley we know he will never hold another Republican to task,to many years of evidence of his behavior. Notice the Federal Judge in Washington State just gave Trump and his twits two more weeks to figure out what they are doing with their Immigration Ban.
