Susan Rice Refuses To Testify In Senate Probe Of Russian Influence On 2016 Election
Washington Times ^ | 5-3-2017 | Victor Morton

Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice has reportedly declined an invitation to testify before a Senate panel investigating Russian attempts to influence the U.S. election, walking back her earlier acceptance.

According to CNN, Ms. Rice’s initial acceptance of the invitation from Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, was based on the presupposition that it was a bipartisan request.

However, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, reportedly told Ms. Rice that he did not approve of Mr. Graham’s invitation. According to a letter from Ms. Rice’s lawyer obtained by CNN, that scuppered her willingness to testify.

We already know she’s a liar. What’s the point of adding to the lies.

Maybe there’s already a grand jury looking into indictments? - therefore, why testify now? She can take the 5th when she’s in the dock

A Federal Grand Jury should start issuing “invitations.”

“So subpoena her.”

I suspect that will come in due time. But personally, I’d rather see her indicted by the DOJ, because these “congressional hearings” are just useless theater, and usually serve to allow the criminal to escape prosecution. Besides, if the Congress actually did their job, there would be little or no time for “hearings.”

How can you tell?? I see little if any difference in the two parties, it is as if they are one party.

Given her obvious corruption and criminal acts, she would be a FOOL to testify in front of the Senate.

It would just increase the web of statements that put her in criminal jeopardy.

Based on Comey’s testimony today, the canard ‘*some*body has to go to prison’ was switched to firehose Obamaites. Clinton, Inc. is home free. I always thought it’d be a race between the two to come up with the most valuable state’s evidence to turn... and the Uniparty can’t go on operating without its leftist half forever.
