Technically a good response but have you uncoiled yourself after posting that?

This is well worth a read, don't know if it's behind a pay wall though.

Yes, it explains that this Nunes memo is a political hack job, shamefully politicizing cherry picked Intelligence, putting party over country. The Repubes are a hollow shell now, having completely forgone any pretense of fairness or public service in furthering their cause. A cause which has become nothing more than self preservation, further enrichment of their masters, and protection of Trump, at any cost.

Will voters be smart enough to see through the scam, and throw them out? I’m slightly optimistic, but there are a lot of idiots in this country, and right here in this forum, sadly.

Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe and Mueller really do not inspire confidence.

They remained quiet about Russian malfeasance prior to the Uranium 1 deal. It appeared that they did want to derail a Democratic deal. DOJ head at the time, Eric Holder, was on the committee which gave the ok for the deal.

I am not very optimistic. Never had considered that the US Constitution can ever be ignored and that is what is happening since the GOP House & Senate would rather collude with Trump rather than govern. Yet another CR in the works for next week. Government is broke due to reduced revenues due to the Tax Gift. And the GOP ratings are on the uptick the past two weeks.

Amazing that the fate of this country is now in the hands of the Justice Department and the FBI. Watergate repeats itself and even if the truth comes out, chances that it will be painted as fake.

It looks like I am not the only one to think that the GOP is/has been at war with the United States Of America.

That’s about as convincing as Whell, lol. Red meat for the usual idiots, laughable biased nonsense to anyone capable of independent thought. It will been torn to shreds soon enough.

A big, fat nothingburger that Trump lemmings will treat like a porterhouse steak from Peter Luger's.

WSJ: Strzok and Page Texts Show No Anti-Trump Conspiracy

The conservative journal of record calls BS on this BS.

I read an article this morning where Nunes was referred to as Devin Nunes- R, White House.
That says it all. He represents the Northern Central Valley of CA, the ones wanting to split up. He may be confident of his reelection and why he is out front carrying water for Trump.

Remember, he has recused from the Russia investigation so as such should not be privy to any FBI documents.
