FBI Director James Comey Meets With Senate Intelligence Committee

Source: Talking Points Memo

By MATT SHUHAM Published FEBRUARY 17, 2017, 2:22 PM EDT

FBI Director James Comey met with the Senate Intelligence Committee on Friday, Politico and others reported.

A number of reporters from NBC News and Fox News reported that Comey was meeting with the committee, and that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was also present.

Comey has been at the center of repeated calls for investigations of the Trump administration. On Monday, Michael Flynn was asked to resign as Trump’s national security adviser after the Washington Post reported that he discussed sanctions on the phone with the Russian ambassador before Trump was inaugurated.

On Tuesday, the New York Times and CNN reported that members of Trump’s campaign were in touch with Russian government officials, including intelligence officials, repeatedly during the campaign.

where Republicans 'in charge' had to insert people like Manafort and 'friendly to trump Republicans' into trumps campaign to continue their crimes. Had to promote things like the 'list of Generals' to their republican campaign idiot winner.

Republicans have to be questioned first.

Hillary deliberately to influence the election and if thats the reason he did that (which I believe it is) you can bet he probably has destroyed the evidence if it existed by now or atleast buried it so deep it probably wont be found for 100 or more years.

It's huge that Trump's people were in close contact w/Russia and Trump borrowed million$ from Russian crime bosses in return for laundering their $ via Trump real estate. The fact there's no real investigation yet is telling. Comey, Turtle, Paulie Blue Eyes, Hatch, Cornyn, Chaffetz et al. could easily get a bipartisan investigation going but the fact they're not is a big red flag with "COMPLICIT" waving in our faces.

the GOP has worked hard to leave full of vacancies at every level, and, privately, our INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, which, to the surprise of some, is "infested" with genuine patriots who think the Constitution matters and will leak like hell to thwart a closet coup from a foreign power.

We should be able to count on Congress, but sadly, the Quislings in power are obsessed with consolidating their influence and getting rich--they simply don't CARE about us.

Don't trust that asshole at all, he's just another political hack who cares more about the party than the country. He wouldn't tell the truth about Russia before the election, don't trust him to tell the truth now either. He'll probably do his best to provide cover for Drumpf.

I hope I'm wrong, but doubt it.
