It is maddening that these people see no obligation to the country and constitution they swore to support and defend. What profit is there? Have they all been offered their very own pee hookers?

They should all be hanged for treason.

As I posted on a different thread. The GOP dominated House committee seems to be forgetting that Feinstein has already been briefed, presumably, on pretty much everything they will try to obfuscate. Their line of questioning, such as it is, is one of criticizing the fact that Flynn got busted, and could yet be prosecuted for what he did. They are conducting themselves in much the way that Nazi and Imperial Army defendants did during the war trials - we’re not sorry for what Flynn did, we’re sorry he got caught and may have to pay for it.

“But, what about the leaks”? And “Where’s the (absolute) proof” ?are Right Wing website and Russian Troll Army memes that have been around for some time now. Astounding that the once proud and self-sufficient GOP now even has to outsource it’s inane talking points.

Trey Gowdy is the redneck version of Senator Joseph McCarthy. I guess he would have gone after Woodward and Bernstein ,and Mark Felt, rather than Richard Nixon, John Mitchell,et.al. during the Watergate hearing. Gowdy is a dishonorable partisan hack as he first displayed as the Minister of False Information about Benghazi.

As Gowdy the rat faced cocksucker went on and on about Flynns bullshit transcript he ignored the point that he does not know that it was classified or not, Obama could have declassified on the spot when he read it.

In other words: in an act worthy of cirque du soleil GOP members of the house contorted, spun, and juggled multiple shiny objects in attempts to divert the purpose of the hearings.

I sure hope Comey exposes Nunes at next week’s Senate hearing.

“Later in the hearing, Gowdy rattled off the names of former officials in the Obama administration who may have known that Flynn was on the call, asking if they could have “unmasked” Flynn’s name to the press.”

Gowdy should rattle of the names of the Trump appointees that now occupy those positions because they could have “unmasked” Flynn’s name to the press, too. It could have been an inside job…

There were reports a week or so earlier that Flynn was getting on Trumps nerves/patience - so kill two birds with one stone? Get rid of Flynn, and make the Russia story go away with Flynn when throwing him under the bus.

Loved it when Gowdy asked Comey if there was an exception for reporters to the law against disclosing classified information. Comey paused and said something like, “That’s a little more complicated,” and you could just hear him thinking, “Yes you knucklehead, and it’s called the First Amendment.”

The fact is that it’s only illegal for a person with a security clearance to disclose classified information.

Republicans next move will be to CYA.
They will claim they were always against Trump but were afraid the Dems were just bitter about losing the election.
They never thought that the Twitter Twit could be so against the American way of life.

Reason 2,355,521 to detest GOP congress dicks! And somehow these jerk-offs have conned their bases into thinking they’re some sort of “patriot”. They are a band of crooks who deserve no respect or politeness. Gowdy is worthless.

It is comforting to see that the members of the Asshole-elect’s party are following in his footsteps as assholes. Sad.
