[bigtree]

Adam Schiff‏ @RepAdamSchiff
Was today's open hearing cancelled because WH did not want Sally Yates to testify re Gen Flynn's deception? Didn't want to assert privilege?

1. who's going to resched hearings when RyaNunes protecting Trumpists?

2. This has become ridiculous.

Clearly the WH is guilty here. There is no valid excuse for this refusal.

And who cancelled the hearing? Nunes of course.

3. Cancelling the hearings is totally not sketchy...

There needs to be an independent special prosecutir for this. No way can Nunes be trusted.

4. Canceling the public hearing is absolutely sketchy! An independent special prosecutor can take

MONTHS to get up and running, and we all know that the attention span for the vast majority of Americans is alarmingly short. This only works in Republicans' advantage as they work to sweep their treasonous acts under the rug and work even harder to legitimize this illegitimate, Putin-installed person squatting in OUR White House.

13. I was being sarcastic...

I'm sorry if that didn't come across that way. You're right, of course is totally sketchy, and it only makes the whole thing look worse.

5. Russia denies interfering in our elections...

Incredible.

One smoking gun and it is over!

6. Can she just publish information?

[mopinko]

8. that was my thought too. a nice long open letter to the nyt and wapo.

wouldnt that just frost cheeto's cookies?

[Jonny Appleseed]

7. Someone filed for obstruction of justice for Sessions

It should really be Nunes.

[SHRED]

9. Can she call a press conference?

10. kick

11. Executive Privilege

If Trump ever tries to exert Executive Privilege in any of this he is *screwed* IMO. It will a tipping point. Not just us political junkies will take notice. To everyone except the Trump die-hards he will look guilty as hell.

12. Trump is scared of Sally Yates

14. Sally Yates to testify before Senate panel even if she doesnt appear before House committee
