Trump's back to tweeting seemingly baseless conspiracy theories. 20 min ago asked if the DNC and Clinton colluded with Russians and covered it up by stopping an FBI investigation. Just in time for him to get embarrased about his last conspiracy theory, we start a new one!
So he pretty much verbatim accused the DNC of what he has been accused of, and it's suddenly a conspiracy theory.
Looks like the irony was lost on you.

Are you trolling me? I can't tell.

If it was classified info that was leaked, and that info is true and it's bad that it was leaked, how is it fake news?

Are you channeling Alanis Morissette?

considering the FBI director literally just said that there is an investigation, this comment could have been timed better.

Anecdotal evidence is powerful proof of mass brain washing. But also fake news didn’t change peoples votes.

I mean we know that Manafort was paid by the Russians and lied about it, that Flynn was coordinating with Russian intelligence and discussing ending sanctions with them and lied about it, that Tillerson is an official recipient of Putin's Friend of Russia medal, that Sessions was meeting with Russian intelligence during the campaign and lied about it, that Jared Kushner met with Russian intelligence, that Carter Page met with Russian intelligence, is an investor in Gazprom and Rosneft, and that Trump himself speaks extremely highly of Putin and attempted to grant recognition of the annexation of Crimea without receiving anything in return.

What the fuck are they talking about? Why are they gearing into who leaked the info? I thought this was about the Russia investigation.

It's intentionally vague.

Frankly I can't really understand why this would even be news, much less the heavily anticipated announcement it was. Would be hard to imagine that there wouldn't be an investigation.

This guy (Himes) needs to learn to properly pronounce shit in Russian. Same with everyone else for that matter.
Comey is lawyering pretty hard. Reasonably given this is an ongoing investigation but still he isn't saying all that much.
Edit: Ooh, Rogers (NSA director) is here too. Didn't notice because no one asked him anything.
|
Congressional hearings are a lot of theater and some substance. No one should expect Comey to do anything that would be vaguely close to breaking the law. If he is blindsided by a question, he won’t answer it under pressure. That isn’t how you get the job he has.

Wanted to note the irony in that I'm watching it on PBS News Hour, the channel that is currently on the chopping block.
|
I'm watching it through NPR, and they're also on the chopping block, but seeing that people are willing to fund these public broadcasting stations, I have confidence that they'll thrive.

"Russians conspired to harm [Hillary Clinton's] electability." LOL.
Rogers kind of explains his "moderate confidence" statement in that he believes that one of the sources was less reliable than he would like.
|
iirc most of the federal money that goes to CPB actually goes towards funding rural NPR/ PBS. so there is a certain political benefit for republicans to cutt off NPR and PBS to those areas.
