Расследования продолжаются

[tijd]

Согласно последнему опросу NBC/WSJ 73% американцев поддерживают идею создания независимой комиссии для расследования российского вмешательства в американские выборы.

Но пока такой комиссии нет, приходится довольствоваться знакомыми комиссиями по разведке в Сенате и Палате представителей Конгресса.



Последнее сообщение из комиссии нижней палаты говорит о закрытых слушаниях и переносит отменённые ранее публичные слушания на май, но без определённой даты.

Yesterday, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence sent two letters related to its investigation into Russian active measures during the 2016 election campaign. The first letter was sent to FBI Director James Comey and National Security Advisor Admiral Mike Rogers, inviting them to appear at a closed hearing on May 2, 2017. The second letter was sent to former CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates inviting them to appear at an open hearing to be scheduled after May 2nd.

Что же касается Сената, надежда на беспристрастное внепартийное расследование оказалась фикцией. А председатель комиссии Ричард Берр подтверждает свою репутацию беспринципного сторонника Трампа.

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.

More than three months after the Senate Intelligence Committee launched its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election - including allegations of collusion by associates of President Trump - the panel has made little progress and is increasingly stymied by partisan divisions that are jeopardizing the future of the inquiry, according to multiple sources involved in the probe. 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.

Посмотрим расшевелят ли Берра эти утечки в прессу.
