LA Times Breaks the story of his the system almost incentives dishonest people in power to lie
“ Report: Bipartisan Group of Senators Wanted DOJ to Investigate Stephen Bannon
The Los Angles Times says the senators sent a letter last year calling for a criminal investigation.”
HERES THE SHORT STORY:
“ It also raised concerns about testimony provided by family members and confidants of President Trump that appeared to contradict information provided by a former deputy campaign chairman to Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III. Those it identified as providing such conflicting testimony were the president’s son Donald Trump Jr., his son-in-law Jared Kushner, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks.”
The direct criminal referral:
“ As you are aware, the Committee is conducting an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election,” the letter states. “As part of that inquiry, and as a result of witness interviews and document production, we now have reason to believe that the following individuals may have committed a criminal act.”
The letter then names Bannon, the chief executive of the 2016 Trump campaign and later a top White House strategist, and two other men — Erik Prince, a private security contractor, and Sam Clovis, who served as co-chairman of Trump’s campaign.”
WHAT DID THEY LIE ABOUT?
Prince/Bannon:
A SECRET MEETING WITH A RUSSIAN OLIGARCH ... CONNECTED TO PUTIN to set up back channel support for Trump
The meeting took place in the Seychelles
For Trump JR ... the real reason for Trump Tower: Clinton emails
