week, march 28th, they are due to hear from that acting attorney general who got fired a few days after she warned the white house there was something dangerous and wrong going on with the national security adviser mike flynn when it came to his contacts with russia. fbi director james comey announces the counter intelligence investigation of that hearing on march 20th. sally yates was due to tell her part of the story. the mike flynn part of the story just eight days later on march 28th. but that did not happen. after the fbi director made his bombshell announcement at devin nunes house intelligence committee hearing, chairman nunes got weird. he decided to blow the whole thing up without explanation. there has still been no explanation for this. he canceled the sally yates hearing. and he got himself thrown off the investigation altogether. a strange stunt at the white house where he claimed to be rushing secret documents to the white house, even though it
turns out he got the documents from the white house in the first place. specifically, he got them apparently from one of his own former staffers and from a former protege of national security adviser mike flynn who had been left behind at the national security council, even after flynn left and despite efforts by the new national security adviser to get rid of that guy. but devin nunes canceled the sally yates hearing. got himself taken off the investigation altogether. he s now under investigation by the house ethics committee for potentially having disclosed classified information. that was the house intelligence committee. then it went to the house oversight committee. they decided they d look into a very specific part of it. they d look specifically into mike flynn s payments from foreign sources. and despite their very narrow focus on just that piece of it, the house oversight committee appears to have stumbled on to something unexpectedly rich. their inquiries turned up the news
that we don t know the details of yet. and i suspect james comey whatever you think about him he s shown a propensity to love the spotlight in the past, i think he might be saving his biggest revelation for this hearing. just adding more details, something we saw in the sally yates hearing. we knew a lot of what she planned to say but when she fleshed out the details and told exactly the things she had warned the white house about, if we see him add details about his conversations with the president, it could be explosive. the president said point-blank he didn t pressure comey to fire mike flynn. if james comey comes in, raises his hand in the eric swears under oath and says that s not true, that s a difficult position for the president
he was sworn into office. and for him to come out and publicly figure himself as a possible subject of this investigation is a strange thing to do. i suspect what he was doing was trying to take some heat off himself and finding an excuse to not answer questions about one of the underlying scandals as doj. the big question is going to be wharmgs the president say to him about the russia investigation. what kind of pressure did they put on him. there s a secondary potential scandal too which is what did jeff sessions and if if they know he was being fired because he was fired and they went along with it, their positions are really untenable at doj. it would be the biggest scandal in the department s history. so what i think you see rosenstein doing is sending this public signal that will probably see him do at the hearing on
nbc s ken delaney. we re all awaiting testimony from former fbi director james comey this week. but there s another hearing that could also shed light on the investigation and it s one keeping an eye on. the peace of mindes me and the security just like the marines did. that s worth keeping an eye on. that s worth keeping an eye on. that s worth keeping an eye on. that s worth keeping an eye on. e that s worth keeping an eye on. one that s worth keeping an eye on. , and it s one that s worth keeping an eye on. and that they can be protected. we re the williams family, and we re usaa members for life. call usaa today to talk about your insurance needs.
