by my count, you never paid attention to the last 8 years.
Obama got Iran to sign a deal, not to stop testing bombs but to stop developing nukes and was lambasted for it.

So now he's taken the side of two murderers over the American victim. This all by itself is treasonous, imho.
Can you imagine Hillary being such a wuss? No, you can't. She would've stood up for America.

Like many of his minions the cost benefit that will have to be weighed will be time lost due to incarceration versus value of the book deal/movie rights net of legal costs.

President Trump ordered his chief of staff to grant his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, a top-secret security clearance last year, overruling concerns flagged by intelligence officials and the White House’s top lawyer, four people briefed on the matter said.
Mr. Trump’s decision in May so troubled senior administration officials that at least one, the White House chief of staff at the time, John F. Kelly, wrote a contemporaneous internal memo about how he had been “ordered” to give Mr. Kushner the top-secret clearance.
The White House counsel at the time, Donald F. McGahn II, also wrote an internal memo outlining the concerns that had been raised about Mr. Kushner — including by the C.I.A. — and how Mr. McGahn had recommended that he not be given a top-secret clearance.

It should be noted that Trump has claimed he played no role. Ivanka and Kushner's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, have both claimed that Kushner went through the standard procedure for getting a clearance.
It would make sense to invite Kelly and McGahn and maybe others to testify about what happened.

Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Mr. Lowell, said on Thursday, “In 2018, White House and security clearance officials affirmed that Mr. Kushner’s security clearance was handled in the regular process with no pressure from anyone. That was conveyed to the media at the time, and new stories, if accurate, do not change what was affirmed at the time.”
that's some mighty careful choice of language...i bet someone(s) triple checked the placement of the commas in that statement
as Cohen explained yesterday he would "look me in the eye and tell me there's no Russian business..."

more from the Times story:
Mr. Trump’s precise language to Mr. Kelly about Mr. Kushner’s clearance in their direct conversation remains unclear. Two of the people familiar with Mr. Trump’s discussions with Mr. Kelly said that there might be different interpretations of what the president said. But Mr. Kelly believed it was an order, according to two people familiar with his thinking.
And Mr. Trump was definitive in his statements to The Times in the January interview.
“I was never involved with the security” clearances for Mr. Kushner, the president said. “I know that there was issues back and forth about security for numerous people, actually. But I don’t want to get involved in that stuff.”
A recent report by NBC revealed that Mr. Kline had overruled two career security specialists who had rejected Mr. Kushner’s application based on the F.B.I.’s concerns. A senior administration official confirmed the details laid out in the NBC report.
Mr. Kline was acting on the directive sent down by the president, one of the people familiar with the matter said.
The day that Mr. Lowell described Mr. Kushner’s process as having gone through normal routes, aides to Mr. Kushner had asked White House officials to deliver a statement from Mr. Kelly supporting what Mr. Lowell had said. But Mr. Kelly refused to do so, according to a person with knowledge of the events.

That is a great statement. It does not contain any assertion that what was affirmed was in fact, true, nor any indication that Mr. Lowell represents it as true.

Found this nugget to be a beauty.
Jim Jordan slams Cohen hearing as a huge waste of time.
Benghazi Investigations during the Obama Administration:
33 hearings.
4 years.
0 indictments.
Trump Admin/Campaign Investigation:
1 hearing
2 years
34 guilty pleas or indictments so far.
Classic GOP math.
