Here is a link to the Senate Homeland and Governmental Affairs Committee business meeting held yesterday on 9/16/20. This is the one the linked Fox News article above totally mis-characterizes in its reporting.
Start the clip and then go to time 20:46 for the start of the meeting. The full meeting is 22 minutes long... but you only need to listen to the first 6 minutes when Chairman Johnson (R) and Ranking Member Peters give their opening remarks to understand exactly what this meeting and vote were about.
The committee met and voted on most of the subpoenas for all the big names (Brennan, Comey, Powers, Strzok, etc) a few weeks back.
Yesterday's meeting was to vote on adding 7 new names to the earlier approved list and authorizing a request for additional documentation... and in the "Are You Not Entertained" category... for Chairman Johnson to publicly ream Ranking Member Peters.
What Chairman Johnson lays bare is the blatant effort of the Democrats (and their Lawfare allies) to block the deposition of Jonathan Winer (one of the subpoenas voted on weeks ago). As you will hear, or read in Johnson's opening remarks, Jonathan Winer was one of two witnesses (read "co-conspirators") who refused to be interviewed by DOJ I.G. Horowitz during his investigation of Crossfire Hurricane.
For most readers... particularly our foreign readers, the name, Jonathan Winer, will be unfamiliar and obscure. Winer will turn out to be a key witness as well as a key conspirator with a very long track record with Christopher Steel, (back to the days when Steel was the Chief of the Russia Desk for MI6). That is one of the main reasons why the Democrats and Lawfare have been fighting so long and so hard to keep investigators away from Winer and to keep him out of sight of the public. There are others just as damning.
High chance of Arkancide with this guy. He is holding a very very big can of worms.
The Russia Hoax / Steele dossier is just the latest hoax Winer has been a central player in. One hoax and smear campaign eventually resulted in the Magnitsky Act, which is the legislation sponsored by Sen McCain (R) and Sen Cardin (D) that brought sanctions against Russia beginning in 2012.
If you like rabbit holes that actually lead somewhere, start reading back through my history... lots of info and links to other video clips and documents. They are not hard to find. Simply too much to shoehorn in here.
I have been watching scenes, like the one that occurred between Johnson and Peters about Jonathan Winer, in past House and Senate committee meetings for over two years now. Republicans have been shutting down a lot of Democrat bullshit just by mentioning WIner's name (sometimes almost just a seemingly casual mention) in the course of proceedings, and the result is like pulling the pin on a hand grenade and holding it your hand not releasing the actuator.
Thanks for the info. You say you've been watching these hearings for 2 years now. Anything come from any of them? 2 years and no indictments, no sanctions... so why should we care now?
The recommendation to read back through my history on this subject, in particular comments which mention Jonathan Winer and the Magnitsky Act, will go a long way to answering your question as to why you should care now.
I see your 2 years of no indictments and raise you 8 more years of no indictments.
If after you have read those comments in my history that are relative to the above post, and still have a question as to why you should care now, I will be happy to engage further.
My intent in tracking this particular subject (The Magnitsky Act Hoax of 2010-12... which is the most recent prelude to the Russia Hoax of 2016... and which also had/has the same goal of smearing Putin/Russia with a false scandal, (perpetrated by a majority of the same people who are behind the Russia Hoax), in order to poison any possibility of something resembling normal international relations not only with Russia but a number of other nations)... that intent is to maintain continuity on this subject and the conspirators behind it... so that when that hand grenade mentioned above is finally thrown into the deep state swamp... there will be a record for this community to quickly access for historical context.
