Senate Intelligence Committee’s Trump-Russia Investigation is a Sham
Senate Intelligence Committee’s Trump-Russia Investigation is a Sham
While there are allegedly both House and Senate Intelligence Committee investigations underway regarding the Trump campaign’s links to Russia, and last month it appeared as if the Senate panel had it together, that appears to be in question.
RELATED: Senate Intelligence Committee to Question 20 People in Trump-Russia Investigation, Starting Thursday: WATCH
More than three months after the committee announced that it had agreed on the scope of the investigation, the panel has not begun substantially investigating possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, three individuals with ties to the committee told The Daily Beast.
The investigation does not have a single staffer dedicated to it full-time, and those staff members working on it part-time do not have significant investigative experience. The probe currently appears to be moving at a pace slower than prior Senate Intelligence Committee investigations, such as the CIA torture inquiry, which took years to accomplish.
No interviews have been conducted with key individuals suspected of being in the Trump-Russia orbit: not Michael Flynn, not Roger Stone, not Carter Page, not Paul Manafort, and not Jared Kushner, according to two sources familiar with the committee’s procedures.
“It’s either a real investigation or not,” said one individual with knowledge of the committee’s activities. “You have to have an approved investigative guide. You have to make it formal. Can you have a credible investigation with only seven part-time staffers, doing everything in secret?”
Read the full article and weep.
The committee has yet to issue a single subpoena for documents or interview any key witnesses who are central to the probe, the sources said. It also hasn’t requested potentially crucial evidence — such as the emails, memos and phone records of the Trump campaign — in part because the panel’s chairman, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., has so far failed to respond to requests from the panel’s Democrats to sign letters doing so, the sources said.
“The wheels seem to be turning more slowly than the importance of the inquiry would indicate,” said Richard Ben-Veniste, a member of the 9/11 commission and former Watergate prosecutor, one of a number of veteran Washington investigators who have begun to question the lack of movement in the probe.
As Congress returns from its spring recess this week and Trump approaches his 100th day in office, the panel has no further public hearings scheduled, even as the House Intelligence Committee — torn by its own partisan wrangling and internal turmoil — shows some flickering new signs of life.
An independent investigation looks to be more necessary than ever.

RIP. Erin Moran, Joanie from Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chachi. Died of stage 4 cancer.
POSITIVE INFO. Trump praises “fake news” polls for containing positive info: “On Sunday, Trump touted the new polls, saying they were ‘very good considering that much of the media is FAKE and almost always negative.’ An ABC News/Washington Post poll released Sunday found just 42 percent of Americans say they approve of the job Trump is doing as president. But the poll found 96 percent of those who voted for Trump in November say it was the right decision and just 2 percent say they regret their choice.”
The two fake news polls released yesterday, ABC & NBC, while containing some very positive info, were totally wrong in General E. Watch!

NATIONAL MONUMENTS. Trump to order review: “On Wednesday, Trump will sign an executive order to demand that the Interior Department secretary examine all national monument designations in the past 21 years to discern whether their size and scope are within the law’s intent, a move that tracks clearly with concerns of members of Utah’s federal delegation about the use of the unilateral presidential power in designating monuments.”

TIM FARRON. UK Lib Dem leader under fire to clarify views on homosexuality: “Farron, a Christian, was asked four times in two separate interviews on Sunday whether he believes gay sex is a sin. On all four occasions, he refused to give a clear answer.”
THE GOOD NEWS? John Waters announced an adult summer camp. THE BAD NEWS? It’s sold out already.
GAY BRITANNIA. Sherlock’s Andrew Scott to star in series about the history of gay Britain: “The details of the 40-year-old Dublin-born actor’s role have not yet been revealed. Great British Bake Off host Sandi Toksvig and Simon Callow have also been confirmed for roles in the season of programming which marks the 50th anniversary of The Sexual Offences Act 1967, which partially decriminalised homosexual acts in private between two men over the age of 21.”

Trump Administration Relieves U.S. Surgeon General of Duties
Trump Administration Relieves U.S. Surgeon General of Duties
The Trump Administration asked Vice Admiral Vivek Murthy to resign from his post as U.S. Surgeon General after “assisting with a smooth transition,” according to a statement from the Department of Health and Human Services. Rear Admiral Sylvia Trent-Adams, Dr. Murthy’s deputy, is now serving as acting Surgeon General.
Dr. Murthy, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, had been in his position for more than two years before President Trump relieved him of his duties last Friday. A graduate of Yale University and Harvard College, Dr. Murthy was the first Indian-American to become “America’s Doctor,” a position he called “the privilege of a lifetime” in a Facebook post. During his tenure, Dr. Murthy used his platform to address several pressing public health issues, including e-cigarettes as well as food insecurity. The Surgeon General’s office also issued a landmark report on opioid addiction.
Last year, on World AIDS Day, Dr. Murthy joined HRC President Chad Griffin to call attention to the domestic HIV and AIDS epidemic, which continues to take a heavy toll on young, gay and bisexual men as well as transgender women. Dr. Murthy has long been an advocate for HIV prevention, treatment, and care. In 1995, the former Surgeon General co-founded VISIONS Worldwide, an organization focused on HIV and AIDS education in the U.S. and India.
HRC thanks Dr. Murthy for his tireless advocacy on behalf of all Americans, including LGBTQ people, and congratulates Trent-Adams on becoming the first nurse to serve as Surgeon General.
