I wish I could feel as hopeful. It is not out of the question, but my faith in the system is not all that strong. I want to be wrong on this though!

Or even worse, that he lied to Pence about it. As if that were the problem. Infuriating!

All the GOPers are accomplishing though their pathetic, transparent attempts at distraction is making it even more obvious that the Trump team is guilty as sin.

Finally had time to watch it all. Schiff’s words should strike fear into the hearts of Trump and his associates. There is a burning structure shaping up beneath all that smoke, but I don’t have my hopes up yet.

The GOP members tried hard to make the hearing all about leaks, but the media, for the most part, did not follow their lead. The big news is the FBI investigations.

And demonstrating that they are all co-conspirators.

I have never liked the whole nickname thing for politicians. So I liked “Charles E. Schumer” better than “Chuck.” And I liked “Charles E. Grassley, rather than (again)” Chuck," because I’m not on nickname basis with Senator Death Panels.

Which brings me to “Trey” Gowdy. Let’s not pretend that we’re buds, okay. If you insist on first names, I’d just as soon use your given name, which is Harold.

Learn some humility and stop lying, Harold.

Thanks! She definitely knows MUCH more than any of us. I’d like to have some idea what she found out from Comey in private last Friday. Anyway, yes, the game is afoot…

Also, with humor comes hope

Thanks, @chelsea530 Hadn’t realized there’s substantially more to that story! Verrrry interesting.

Richard Nixon obsessed about the leaks, cementing the idea forever that the cover-up is worse than the crime, and we know how that ended. Apparently the problem then, in the minds of these gentlemen, was that Nixon didn’t go on offense from the start. Never mind the crime, find and hang the leaker – how dare they reveal the wrongdoing!

So how did the party of Abraham Lincoln become the party of Benedict Arnold?

If you ask Americas if they are concerned about WH leaks or Russian meddling in our national election and how beholden is Donald Trump to Russia, the story about Russia is what the majority of the people are captivated by. The leaks are revealing Trump’s vulnerabilities and republicans genuine concern is that the leaks may lead to Trump being taken down before he signs off on their menu of tax cuts and the dismantling of our social safety net.

With all the conflicts and entanglements that each of the Secretaries and special advisors brought to the White House, it’s just a matter of time before their personal conflicts of interest start conflicting with one another. I can hardly wait for Tillerson’s poker to land in DeVos’ fire, or perhaps one of Session’s thumbs snakes its way into the into the Conway’s pie, or some such. Then we’ll find out who the leakers are.

They’re only leaking because the treasonous GOP is complicit and won’t protect this nation from enemies foreign or domestic. IOW, the leakers are actually fulfilling their oaths because these GOPutin scum refuse to fulfill theirs.

Can’t get ‘em on treason, due to the courts’ interpretation of the term “enemy” in both Constitution and statute.

That said, I think that might well have been part of the thrust of several Dem Reps’ lines of questioning getting Comey and Rogers both on the record in defining Russia as “adversary” in no uncertain terms. (They did, however, steer clear of the term “enemy”.)
