  1. I agree, Comey has lost any integrity he may have had when he decided only to reveal the investigation of Clinton, but not the investigation of Trump, particularly when the Trump investigation involved possible collusion with Russia in our elections. That is not acceptable and renders his investigation suspect and biased. Furthermore, this is not an issue of partisan politics, it is about our democracy coming under attack by a foreign state.

    The committee is attempting to deflect on the bigger and real issue of Russian involvement in our election and democracy by changing the narrative to leaks. It is akin to being more concerned about the color of a getaway car than who the criminals involved are.

  2. “The committee is attempting to deflect on the bigger and real issue of Russian involvement in our election and democracy by changing the narrative to leaks.”
    Which is the crime?
    Is Russian “involvement” breaking US laws? Which laws?
    Is “leaking” classified intelligence data a crime? You bet it is.
    This is the point where the Trump haters get vague. We know who claims to have done the Podesta email hack — Guccifer 2.0, a pseudo-individual who may or may not be a creation of Russian intelligence actors. We aren’t at war with Russia. There is no link between Guccifer 2.0 and Trump. Looking for one is what they call a “fishing expedition.”
    I have seen diagrams, on main stream liberal web sites, that purport to show the “connections” between anyone or any entity associated with Trump and anyone or any entity associated with Putin or Russia. they look like a shizophrenic’s nightmare.
    Needless to say, a similar diagram could be made with Hillary in place of Trump.

  3. “I barely even know Stone, Manafort, Flynn, etc. They were all unpaid volunteers.”

  4. I wonder if all of Nunes’ fellow GOP members of Congress will demand an investigation into who ‘leaked’ the information to Nunes. Anyone who listened to the hearing on Monday knows that, according to the GOP, the identity of leakers is the most important issue before them.

  5. “. . . the identity of leakers is the most important issue before them.”
    Rogue US intelligence agents taking it upon themselves to delegitimize a legally elected president — no one doubts the results of Nov. 8.
    Yep, seems pretty important to me.
    No one cared about the Russian issue until the morning of November 9th. And, yes, our intelligence agencies and the Democrats knew everything that is known today on November 8th.
    You need to get over your denial, Emery. The reaction of the Trump haters to the Nov. 8 election is a perfect illustration of Kubler-Ross’s five stages of grief.
    After a 2008 and 2012, a small, fringe portion of the right was stuck in the anger and denial stages. All of the Left is stuck there today.

  6. I don’t think Trump personally has been identified as a target of any investigation… Plus, Nunes claims that this surveillance has nothing to do with the ongoing Russia investigation. Did you read the story?

  7. Behind every crime there has to be a motive. According to libturd talking points, Russians conspired to throw election for Trump. What could benefit Russians to have sTrumpet as a president and not sHrillary? Please play close intention to the question – sTrumpet INSTEAD of sHrillary. Got it? I do not want to hear WHY sTrumpet. I want an honest answer form a libturd mind how sTrumpet would be BETTER for Russia THAN sHrillary and her soci@list roots and pronouncements that she would continue gloves-off, reset button, moving red lines. let Russia do as she pleases without any consequences, 0bumbler approach.

  8. If, as a result of the FBI’s investigation, it is determined that the Trump campaign engaged in criminal activities resulting in the election of Trump. Would that suggest that Trumps presidency would be the ill-gotten gains of criminal activity?

  9. You did not answer the question but spewed a non-sequitur. One which could only come from a person whose tin foil hat is on too tight and which flies in the face of all the facts currently available to those who care to look for them.

    What’s the motive? It is a simple question.

  10. . . . it is determined that the Trump campaign engaged in criminal activities resulting in the election of Trump
    Passive voice. No investigation could ever determine this.
    More Kubler-Ross anger and denial.

  11. Emery, you’re asking the wrong questions. The proper question is whether the FBI ever had probable cause to retain information that has been leaked by former Obama appointees to the Washington Post and other media outlets, and if not, who ordered the fishing expedition to begin and under what logic.

    Usually you let an investigation continue, but given the felonies committed by (presumably ) former Obama appointees, it may be time to ask the question and fire all those who got into the fishing expedition. You can start with pretty much every political appointee from 2009 to 2016 who ever received this information.

  12. And Emery, if indeed many FBI investigations are indeed fishing expeditions, as this one appears to be, counting ongoing FBI investigations is not a valid way to characterize an administration, except to point out the former administration was authorizing fishing expeditions into its political enemies.
