The Congressional investigation is more interested in catching the 9 people who

"unmasked" Flynn's identity, than they are in getting down to connecting the dots between Russia and the Trump campaign.

So, Russia has its wikileaks and we have no one or no organization that will step up and give us information that our compromised president is appointing Russian moles to his cabinet.

Seriously, how can we prove that these unsavory characters are committing perjury if someone doesn't come out and give us this information?

his obvious attempt to avoid the questions about Trump and focus on the leakers. We need to tell him what THE PEOPLE want to know: Gowdy, this is quite easily the biggest event (okay one of the top five) in our country's history!" A foreign antagonist interfered with our election with the goal to get the Pootin-licker elected. Trump STILL won't criticize Putin. Maybe Putin will get tired of Trump and send out the pee-gate videos?

Gowdy's office number:

The GOP pricks are working hard at trying to hang this on Obama Admin.

Best guess:

Admiral Rogers will be the scapegoat.

It will take forever to investigate the Russia connections.

The leakers will be found in the next month or two, all the while ignoring Flynn.

Looks like Schiff yielded his time, probably to think about another way to ask the question.

But Comey also stumped the other side. THIS INVESTIGATION STARTED IN JULY AND THAT IS A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME FOR A COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION.

Been given their talking points this morning. The leaks are all rooney talked about. What a threat they are to national security. But pay no attention to the threat trump/putin collusion poses.

But, they can stick him in a jail cell to force him to reveal the name of his sources.
