The GOP members of this hearing are a joke.

They're more concerned about leaks than the fact that Russia interfered in our Democracy. Trey Gowdy won't even say Michael Flynn's name when discussing his call with the Russians that got him fired.

More evidence that an independent investigation is required. Congress cannot be trusted to handle this impartially.

The Brady jersey to me was a non story
I cant believe people read this stuff.
Its a disgusting sweat soaked dirty jersey. There are about a 100 of them after every football game. Who cares what happened to it.


Sorry...it was humor as opposed to a serious post...

FBI Director confirms the FBI is looking into Trump-Russia links.

FBI Director confirms that Donald's Obama wiretap lie was indeed complete bullshit.


And two hours later, despite Republicans trying to muddy the waters with "leak" nonsense, these are still the only definitive things anyone will take away from this hearing...

Ah... seems like only yesterday someone described Donald's wiretap lie as a brilliant "chess move."

So let me get this right. You feel if the FBI was illegally wire tapping anyone the director would readily admit it? Have you ever heard the term plausible deniability for the head on any organization.

Might be perfectly reasonable, except even the republicans in congress aren't showing any significant dissent that there was an illegal wiretap.

They'd be happy to jump on the reasonable doubt just for the political spin. So, it's a pretty low probability if even that is not worth it to them.

What it is, is, none of them want to get on Trump's crazy train of random accusations. He is unreliable. I don't blame them.

I thought it was Obama who was illegally wiretapping Trump Tower?

I'm having a hard time keeping these nonsense conspiracy theories straight!

You obviously are having trouble keeping up with your posts. I was replying to the post where you quoted the FBI Director as saying that they hadn't wiretapped Trump.

Never said that:

"Donald's Obama wiretap lie" refers to Donald's tweets, where he explicitly said Obama wiretapped Trump Tower.

The FBI director said "I have no information that supports those tweets"

He added that the Justice Department had asked him to also tell the committee that that agency has no such information, either.

Those are from a Washington Post article. I can't link to it property because of their paywall. Search Google for the entire second line (quote the whole line) to find it.

Are both the FBI and the DOJ now covering up something that Trump wanted exposed?
