Rachel Maddow Just Busted The [Grassley] Senate Republican Plan To Save Trump From The Russia Scan [View all]

[riversedge]

I heard this tonight and my heart sank. Several weeks ago when this Grassley and Feinstein Senate Judiciary Comm was set up I was initially elated. But then I read a short sentence or two from Grassley and I went DRATS!!

I posted about it but honestly do not recall why I was upset about the specific of what Grassley had said at the time but I knew his agenda was not good, as it was aimed at proving the Russian documents were crap. Anyway--here it is--Grassley is going full speed at saving Trump (and trying to prove the Democrats are the evil).

I did a quick search and did not find anything about this except for Rachel (politico has an article but nothing Rachel talks about is in it.


Also, The Hill has a story but did not address Rachel's concerns. It is here:

Rachel Maddow blew up the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman's scheme to save Donald Trump with conspiracy filled hearing on Wednesday.


Maddow said:

This thing that is about to happen on Wednesday that just got scheduled tonight. This is the thing that I have been saying was coming. This is the thing I’ve been saying was coming from Congressional Republicans and Republicans who want to defend Donald Trump. Sen. Grassley has sent the subpoena tonight to head of Fusion GPS. He has canceled the testimony from Don Jr. and Paul Manafort and instead of hearing from them next week on the collusion issue, the Senate instead, will play host at a big open televised hearing to the big Republican pushback theory that they have been gearing up with, gearing up for on conservative media for a couple of weeks now.

This is the big push back in which they will claim that there is a Russian scandal, but it’s not a Trump/Russia scandal. It’s the Democrats, and the dossier on Trump, that’s the real Russia scandal. That’s from Russia, and the scandal is about Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. We have known this was coming. Now, as of tonight, we know it is arriving on Wednesday morning in the Senate, and the first subpoena has just gone out.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is the home base for the Republican defense of Trump on the Russia scandal in the Senate. People should have known that Grassley was going to pull a bait and switch...........................
