Something that is curious about the unmasking/spying allegations

There have been no reports, as far as I have seen, that the Department of Justice has investigated this. I know that the FBI does not routinely make public announcements about investigations, but it seems odd that we haven't heard anything. If the White House had asked the DOJ to look into it, why wouldn't they announce that, unless they did a preliminary investigation and found there was nothing to it. It occurs to me that if it was determined that the Russians were trying to influence our election, and there were all these people who were communicating with them, it would be appropriate to keep tabs on them.

She was doing her job, and never did anything illegal or even improper. Again, there is no proof whatsoever of the allegations spewed by the RWers. It's more hate attacks against a strong, competent woman, with the added attraction that she is a woman of color. The RW snowflakes will eat up the Repub bullshit like it's caviar.

making up false stories and having their Media operatives report them as news before they accuse the person of this false story.

The Pro's are and were,Lee Attwater,Roger Allies,Roger Stone,Karl Rove,and of course Alex Jones.

Agree 100% with what you're saying here.

If the actual National Security Advisor can't look at the real data then how do we achieve, ya know, national security? Total non-story.

I suspect WH counsel telling the participants to desist is a bad sign for their futures too.

And just as the Obama-Rice cyber lynching was blowing up in Trump's face ---- Syria missile strike.
