FBI & NSA chiefs testify in Congress on Trump, Russia, wiretapping
[RT] FBI and NSA directors are testifying before the House Select Committee on Intelligence concerning allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign and President Donald Trump’s claims his campaign was spied on.20 March 2017 19:19 GMT The FBI investigation itself is creating a cloud over the sitting administration, Nunes tells Comey. Comey says he can't answer if the FBI has any evidence of any wrongdoing. "I can tell you that we don't have any evidence," he says, urging Comey to hurry with his probe and ending the hearing. 19:13 GMT Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is asking Comey (both were prosecutors once) about hearsay and newspaper articles as proof. "The system we respect would laugh you out of court" if one showed up with a newspaper article as evidence, Gowdy says. "How do you cross-examine an anonymous source? How do you cross-examine hearsay?" Skipping down to...what "people shouldn't do"...or think, or something. 19:03 GMT "Tell us why we should care about Russia's use of Americans, helping Russians destabilize our democracy?" Heck asks. "I truly believe we are a shining city on a hill," Comey answers, but cautions that people shouldn't jump to conclusions. "Now we're going to close our mouths and do our work... because the answers matter." Emphasis added. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-03-21 |
