seems to me that is a lynchpin in this whole debacle.
Remember how everyone just freaked when Trump made his wiretapping charges? I get the sense that both political parties are trying very hard to keep Obama's name out of this.

Congress has been a disappoint in everything but theatrics. Slow to act but the show must go on. The goal to expose the truth and get to the bottom of whatever is there, on any issue, is leaving them at the bottom in public opinion on being effective. The very questions that the public wants to know most, triggers a close door hearing where we're not allowed entry.
After the closed door meetings the sideshow grandstanding politicians go straight to the cameras working to get national attention and name recognition to improve their reelection chances. Depending on what party they belong too we hear different versions of the play out of our sight. We paid ticket prices for the play we were not directly allowed to see. We paid for the entire production.

Now we have to decide which politician is giving us the truth that is so sacred we're not allowed to get near it. Trust us they say. This was only the opening act and we will know more after the final act and the curtain comes down. When their interview is over they go their marry way leaking the version to media that helps them or their party the most politically.

Andrew McCabe, being a no show before, is set to testify 12/19/2017. As I remember it, its an open hearing and those are wonderful. He will get the chance to withhold information for the usual reasons. Wrong setting ( needs to be done in a closed door hearing ), national security, ongoing investigation by one or more existing agency's. Maybe even take the fifth.

Having sand kicked in their face for a year they might get a spine and charge people with contempt of congress. Something many of us have had for years. Then we have to rely on the FBI and DOJ to charge and prosecute themselves. Amazing !!! The play turns out to be a three ring circus.

One thing we can be sure of, the men of integrity, will get to the bottom of it and it turns out it's our bottom they really want to focus on and drive a tent peg in.
Needed to put down the fifth to practice pleading the 5th and overdid it.

It's quite telling that Andrew McCabe, and now Bruce Ohr have both canceled their appointments to provide testimony at congressional hearings.

Congress has made it clear, if they don't show, they will be subpoenaed.

You better get your stories straight, you can't duck congress forever.
That is false. But nice try going for the outrage and condemnation lead-in.

The committee postponed it for later in the week. But thanks for the fake news.

"...Ohr was set to appear before the Senate panel Monday, but the appearance was delayed after the committee secured new related documents, which members wanted to review before hearing from him..."
