Last November, with all eyes already on Ukraine, Sen Grassley made a requisition for “records of multiple White House meetings that took place in 2016 between and among Obama Administration officials, Ukrainian government representatives, and Democratic National Committee officials.”
While the delivery date of this large group of files is still uncertain, what IS clear is that the number of files captured in this request is absolutely enormous.
Any claims Schiff has made about Ukrainian corruption claims being thoroughly disproven and debunked are obviously baseless. We don’t even know WHO White House officials have met with yet, let alone how often or for what purpose.
But with THOUSANDS of documents for Senators — or their staffers, anyway — to sift through, we can expect a thorough examination of those circumstances.
SaraACarter reports:
The documents requested by Senator’s Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, are significant as they directly concern meetings that senior Obama Administration and Ukrainian officials had at the White House in 2016. The documents are expected to be reviewed for classification purposes, as well as Executive privilege by lawyers for both President Obama and President Donald Trump, officials told SaraACarter.com.
Johnson, Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, and Grassley, Chairman of the Committee on Finance, sent the three page detailed request letter in November to David S. Ferriero, the head of the National Archives. The request was for “records of multiple White House meetings that took place in 2016 between and among Obama Administration officials, Ukrainian government representatives, and Democratic National Committee officials.”
Sen. Johnson, who spoke to this reporter, said “we will continue our oversight. We are going to get to the bottom of what all has been happening here. Hopefully we will get access to the information to make it available to the American public so they really do understand what’s been happening.”
…The November letter requested “records of multiple White House meetings that took place in 2016 between and among Obama Administration officials, Ukrainian government representatives, and Democratic National Committee officials.”
“The White House meeting records also show Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian American operative ‘who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee’ during the 2016 election, attended numerous meetings at the White House, including one event with President Obama,” it stated.
Chalupa allegedly “worked to get dirt on Trump from the Ukrainians,” the letter states, referring to stories originally posted by Politico reporter Ken Vogel, who is now with the New York Times.
Part of the delay will, necessarily, involve working out matters of Classification and Privilege concerning Obama or Trump’s administration.
