Yesterday Breitbart<\/a> posted an article which illustrates why Americans don’t trust politicians.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In a statement delivered on the Senate floor<\/a>, Grassley<\/a> (Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman<\/a> Chuck Grassley<\/a> (R-IA)) said that in March, former FBI Director<\/a> James Comey<\/a> had told him, Sen. Dianne Feinstein<\/a> (D-CA<\/a>), and the group of Senate and House members known as the \u201cGang of Eight<\/a>\u201d that the president was not under investigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Schumer<\/a>, who is part of the Gang of Eight, continued to tell the media Trump was under investigation, Grassley said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThat helped feed the media hysteria,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Minority Leader<\/a> even tried to say that the Senate shouldn\u2019t vote on the Supreme Court<\/a> nomination because the president was under investigation. And the whole time, he knew it wasn\u2019t true.\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n

In once instance, Schumer told reporters on March 21<\/a>, \u201cThere is a cloud now hanging over the head of the president, and while that\u2019s happening, to have a lifetime appointment made by this president seems very unseemly and there ought to be a delay.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grassley said it was not until months later that it came to light, on May 12, when Trump revealed\u00a0in a letter firing Comey that the FBI director had told him three times he was not under investigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grassley also said he had asked Comey to come out and tell the public Trump was not under investigation, but he had refused to do so<\/strong> over a hypothetical situation where he might have to correct the record.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, because some of our so-called leaders in Washington refused to be honest, we have a special prosecutor spending millions of taxpayer money investigating something that never happened. Worse than that, the special prosecutor has put together a team of political hacks that will pursue political interests over truth–all at taxpayers’ expense.<\/p>\n

It truly is time to throw the bums out and replace them with people who actually care about America more than they care about political expediency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
