The Democrats are blocking key witnesses from testifying in Russia scandal probe

  Democrats have vowed to get to the bottom of the Russia collusion scandal and you would think that part of the process would be to interview as many people as possible who might have information they need to actually find any evidence of collusion. But you would apparently be wrong if this story is true–the Democrats are actually blocking key witnesses who VOLUNTEERED to testify from testifying. One of the witnesses they do not seem interested in speaking to just happens to be the man they called the “mastermind” behind the nefarious collusion scandal.

  Here is more:

House Democrats are continuing to block testimony from about a dozen witnesses who sought to appear before the intelligence oversight panel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Congressional officials said one of the key witnesses, former informal adviser to the Trump campaign Carter Page, was scheduled to testify at a closed hearing of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

But Democrats on the committee blocked the testimony, asserting they needed more time to prepare.

“He’s the guy that many Democrats have been pointing to as the supposed mastermind and you would think they were interested hearing his story,” said one Capitol Hill official.

  It is interesting to note that all of these people who are being blocked from testifying want to testify, presumably because they want to clear their own names and possibly the President’s name as well, but are not being allowed to. Why would that be? Perhaps the Democrats already know what they are going to say and it does not fit the narrative.

  Democrats claim they need more time but they did not need more time to grill James Comey, but of course they thought the former FBI Director would give them what they wanted to hear. Democrats probably really do want more time because their goal, if they cannot take down Donald Trump, is to drag this investigation out to the 2018 election and possibly the 2020 election as well.
