If Schiff wants it, I like where this is headed.
Teeny tiny baby steps. First we get Repugs on record having supported some kind of investigation into something not Hillary.
Oh my, a conditional response to Trump. We will (only) investigate, IF you give us evidence first. From a GOPer, no less. From a GOPer who has already shown that he is comfortable being a Trump water-carrier.
Donald Trump is a non-politician neophyte who clearly doesn’t understand that what a president says has no impact. You could say that about a three year old to justify something they do. But we don’t give three year olds constitutional authority to command a huge war machine or absolute access to the nuclear codes. He already has Assad calling more troops in Syria a violation of Syrian authority. You think the equally childish leader of North Korea would react to a Trump threat with, “Oh, that Donny, there he goes again. Give his neophyte statements no mind”? Trump’s like any immature, overblown bully, itchin’ for a fight to prove himself. If the consequences weren’t so potentially dire it could be another Alec Baldwin laugher…
…and somehow we’re not supposed to be concerned that all three branches of government are in collusion to hide any evidence of wrong doing from their side while inflating SOMETHING SOMEWHERE THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED but they can’t find any evidence but hey…
There is undoubtedly some evidence of the FBI’s wanting to know what the deal was between the Trump Team and the repeated contacts with Russia, all of which were happening during a time that the Intelligence community had already decided was fraught with illegal Russian incursions into the sovereign election process of the US. So it’s no great stunning surprise if the FBI petitioned the FISA court for a warrant or two. But this is NOT what Trump tweeted about, and I will be goddamned before I let these GOP liars insist that Trump’s claims about Obama are vindicated by this information.
NOT THE SAME THING IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. If the Repugs try to conflate the two, I cannot be held responsible for my actions.
Nunes has said that so far he has not seen any evidence to back up Trump’s claim and has suggested the news media were taking the president’s weekend tweets too literally.
Well if it just empty bluster, why has Trump called for a congressional investigation into his own use of hyperbolic language? Maybe Nunes should tell Trump not to take his own tweets so literally.
Trump toady (well done, JM) offers to create yuge piles of gilded pro-Trumpp talking points from whatever shit Trumpp has been calling evidence.
Trump is so fucking incredibly full of shit and just used to spouting and tweeting about it when the urge hits which is about all the time. Jesus christ I hope they keep the stuff that really needs to be kept secret to a minimum. No telling when he’s going to let something important and major slip. I hope Republican are working like crazy behind the scenes on how to get him the fuck out of office.
