Senate intel committee investigating Jill Stein campaign for possible collusion with the Russians
The Senate Intelligence Committee is looking at the presidential campaign of the Green Party’s Jill Stein for potential "collusion with the Russians," a sign that the panel’s probe is far from over, even as allegations swirl that the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation is racing to a close. Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) told reporters Monday that the Senate Intelligence Committee has "two other campaigns that we’re just starting on," in addition to the panel’s ongoing probe of alleged ties between the Trump administration and Kremlin officials. One of those he identified as Stein’s; Burr has indicated previously that the committee is also looking into reports that the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign paid for research that went into a dossier detailing allegations of Donald Trump’s 2013 exploits in Moscow. Stein was present at a 2015 dinner in Moscow that was also attended by Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, whose contacts with Russian officials have been a chief focus of congressional investigators and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe. Flynn and Stein were photographed at the same table as Russian President Vladimir Putin, who sat next to Flynn and across the table from Stein. Continues. WaPo no less. I believe it shall be soon revealed what the Progs find to be acceptable standards of behavior. Then the defense of Flynn may proceed. Posted by: Anomalous Sources 2017-12-20 |
