So she’s claiming that Sen. Burr is also one of the leakers. I find that interesting and would like to know more.
Tomorrow? I’m not holding my breath…

Yeah? Site your sources.
If there weren’t suckers taking sucker bets for seemingly high odds, neither casinos nor state lotteries would thrive.

Hmm. The rumors were Flynn was angling for a deal…you know, I’ll cough it up if you give me a lighter sentence. But Comey said no deal, we have enough, pass. So it should be a very interesting exchange.
Most of them are octogenerians including our own Dianne Feinstein. They’re past their moments of leading. We need some youngblood. It is what it is.

Will Flynn try to “Ollie it up” and appear in uniform? Can he?
Is there any way that Comey speak to some fedral prosecutor and hang donald if he did collude with the Russians?

It’s like Simon & Garfunkle breaking up. Sad. Maybe together in New York some day?
I think Flynn has counsel which is smart enough to tell him to keep his mouth shut. They don’t know what evidence the Committee and FBI already have on Flynn, so the safer strategy is to plead the 5th instead of trying to lie about things
For me, the real question is, can Flynn keep his mouth closed and overcome the urge to pull Trump and/or others under the bus with him. Because Flynn is being left out to dry on this, make no mistake. And a brief history of the guy shows he doesn’t take perceived wrongs like that lightly.
And the real concern I have, is that Burr and others are going to attempt to play up the Flynn=Lone Wolf scenario. I think the Trumpers…and Burr is one, though he doesn’t play it up as loudly as Nunes…want to scapegoat Flynn and call the whole investigation over. Its also very possible if they do try and go that route, that Flynn will just take it, and Trump grants him a pardon. ( I know, crazy politically right? But so was firing Comey). If he doesn’t think a pardon will be forth coming, his personal urges are very likely to start taking down others with him.

I call bullshit on that story. Its something Rosenstein is putting out there in a failed attempt to hold on to some small shred of dignity. But its far too late for that, he has had the entire Comey affair penned directly on this back now, and that will stay with him till the end of his days.
Rosenstein knew perfectly well what he was doing, and why he was doing it. Comey came to HIM just a few days ago to request more money, more agents and to tell him that the FBI would be moving other cases onto the backburner in order to focus more on the Russian investigation. Nobody is that stupid that they can’t figure out what was going down.
Additionally, I am seeing several people claiming that Comey said the FBI had direct evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as part of that conversation with Rosenstein.
If he wanted to resign because he was worried about his resignation, it would have been at the time he refused Sessions request to write up a justification…not after.

I commented in the thread about the story.
from the article (the pull quote came from Rick Wilson’s twittah feed)
and today’s Pick Four numbers are 5-3-1
It’s like he realized too late that “oh, shit! That was a ‘Saturday Night Massacre’ integrity and gutcheck’ moment and I played the role of Bork rather than Richardson and Ruckelshaus in public!” and now he’s trying to change the score on the scorecard without even taking the mulligan. So, basically, having been a coward, he’s trying to make himself look brave by doubling down on cowardice. Yeah, that’ll work.

I know a number of people who are on a first name basis with Burr. And he was my House representative for many years. What he’s shown himself to be is a man who will put on any ideological costume he thinks necessary to win an election without the slightest qualm. He’s played a moderate center right Republican, a hard right Bush Republican and, most recently, a feral Turmper. But, at heart, he remains what he is, a standard issue North Carolina style country club conservative who isn’t dumb and is deeply wired into government. In public, he has increasingly taken the North Carolina brittle hard conservative line, but personally, he’s more like Kasich (the real one, not the moderate media creation).
Whatever he does, it will be what he considers to be in his best political interest. Obviously. But the thing is he’s not up for reelection for six years. That gives him extraordinary freedom to do the right thing or the wrong thing, confident no one will remember the next time he runs, if he runs. The problem being, I am not sure he even knows the difference anymore. I don’t know if he realizes that he’s not really under McConnell’s control if he doesn’t want to be.

Don’t be fooled. Burr is going through the motions. He’ll allow a subpoena to issue as a public show supposed good faith, but he won’t commit to fight very hard to enforce it
Got links?
Looks like the GOP is ready to throw flynn under the bus to save trumps depends covered ass…
