House Intelligence Committee

Three weeks ago I wrote a piece for The Duran in which I suggested that the corner appeared to have been turned in the fake ‘Russiagate’ scandal.
What was a tentative conclusion then can now be firmed up.
Though the leaders of the US security services have denied the President’s allegation that they wire-tapped him – though they were careful not to deny that they mounted surveillance on him and his associates – the President’s claim that they did, in effect smoked them out.

FBI Director Comey’s and NSA Director Rogers’s public testimony to the House Intelligence Committee on Monday 20th March 2017 cast some interesting light on the ‘Russiagate’ allegations, though these were not the ones the media has sought to emphasise.

On the eve of a public hearing before the House Intelligence Committee on Monday 20th March 2017 at which FBI Director James Comey and NSA Director Mike Rogers are due to give evidence, Committee Chair Representative Devin Nunes, has said that he has seen no evidence of collusion during the Presidential election between Russia and anyone associated with Donald Trump.
