Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has again declined a request to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee, CNN reported early Wednesday, citing an unnamed source in Congress.
Investigators are reportedly interested in Flynn’s contacts with Russian officials during the transition and his failure to disclose payments he received from Russian firms.
The former Trump official previously refused a Senate Intelligence Committee request to appear in May, citing Fifth Amendment rights. At the time, Flynn’s lawyers argued that an “escalating public frenzy against him” created a a legally dangerous environment for Flynn, preventing him from testifying.
The Senate committee also issued subpoenas for documents from Flynn in May, and the former national security adviser reportedly agreed to turn over documents to the committee.
I’ve always said that the worst thing about being a treasonous bastard is that sometimes he must endure an “escalating public frenzy against him.”
I suppose it’s because the dates chosen always clashed with his needlepoint classes, and not because he has something to hide.
“The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding fine”
Keep that in mind, General(although of which army, I am uncertain…)
Of course, if I recall from the pictures you’re pretty small to start with.
Sqiuirm, worm.

I´ve always said, ¨The early worm gets eaten¨.
But I suppose what you´ve always said is more appropriate in this case.
If Mueller had told the senate “let it go, we’ve got this”, I doubt the senate would be pursuing this appearance before their Intel panel.
Step 1: subpoena
Step 2: contempt
Step 3: LOCK HIM UP!
