I guess they are working on talking points tonight.
Or the evidence has them scared?
Mmmmm

(7,725 posts)waiting for the other one. Then they'll all start talking. Isn't this about when they get on that train up to the sacred outpost up in the mountains or whatever. The last time they went there two civilians died getting hit in a dump truck by the train. Back after the election, thats where Paul Ryan ordered everyone to keep quiet about the campaign donations and election oddities(?). It's on film.

(8,924 posts)Nunes had tried very hard to keep dems out. Since Schiff was in the same meeting makes it harder for Nunes to spin lies about it.

(22,143 posts)lied about this idiotic comment not being made but it was. RUMP also was caught on tape talking about assaulting a woman's private parts (access Hollywood), and they denied it and/or attributed it as 'shower room talk'.

(118,295 posts)DOJ just told a story any idiot could understand and pointed out some questions any idiot would want answered
The FBU expressed its sincere desire to avoid any politically-motivated taint to their investigation, promised to investigate any evidence supplied suggesting that any investigator was politically-motivated, emphasized their dedication to professionalism, and pointed out the importance of playing by the long-standing rules, including not publicizing partial results from an on-going and incomplete inquiry
Unlike the Trumpeteers, they probably went to the meeting thoroughly prepared and didn't shoot from the hip or go off half-cocked

(51,611 posts)because they are shitheads. They know Mueller has the goods on them too. They will continue to delay/distract/demean the investigation until they hear the FBI knock on their bedroom doors like Manafort. They are scrambling and will not stop since they have nothing to lose...their time is very limited and they will pull every trick in the book to escape Mueller and justice for their crimes/$$$$/treason.

(10,884 posts)If the staff on Faux not News buys into that crap, they know they can sell that to "his base". As long as they have his base, the GOP will be docile.

(111,103 posts)If there was just a hint of someone actually spying on the Trump campaign, we would have already heard about it. They may have received more evidence today than they imagined? It may take a little while to process the information? If they are not all over the TV tomorrow, then something is up, I think?
mitch96
(13,912 posts)No comment? Maybe,just maybe there was nothing there of merit.. Is it possible the DOJ did not show their cards today? Just enough info to prove there was nothing there but there really is..
The FBI just got caught fibbing about the amount of phones they could not crack b/c of "unlock able" phone software.... so they aren't all boyscouts...

(5,810 posts)Their silence following the meeting is very telling. If they got anything worth repeating (classified or not) theyd have tripped over their feet racing to the microphones. Perhaps someone also put a bug in their ear that they are all on the fast track to Muellers target list.
Oh, to have been a fly on the wall where they met.
Cant wait to see what tRump gags up on twitter tomorrow morning. It should be a beaut.

(16,928 posts)I'm thinking along the same line - I can hear them meeting now:
"Uh-oh, there's something wrong here......
........we're in deep shit!"
