LONG, HOT SUMMER BREWING IN WASHINGTON?



Three of the nation’s intelligence agencies received subpoenas Wednesday afternoon from the House Intelligence Committee, with each of the three subpoenas to: Susan Rice, who served as President Obama’s White House national security adviser; former CIA Director John Brennan; and former U.N. ambassador Samantha Power, also demanding associated documents.  The House panel appears to be intensifying its investigation into allegations that Obama-era aides improperly demanded the “unmasking” of names of associates of President Trump that had appeared, in coded form, in classified intelligence reports, then leaked the data to news media organizations.

COMMENTS:

When is the last time any Republican investigation in Congress ended up producing anything?  Benghazi?  Fast and Furious?  Clinton Email Scandals?  IRS Targeting Scandals?  As much as I believe somebody needs to go to jail over this, I’m not holding my breath.
