After today's hearing, it's fairly obvious that we need an independent investigation.

Party lines were drawn early on. The Republicans felt that they needed to defend their President from some unfair attack by the Democrats. The Democrats felt they had information on Trump and they were intent on getting it out to the public.

As the House and Senate investigation get further along, the partisanship will become sharper and more fierce, in my opinion. That is why they need to have an independent investigation, similar to the 9/11 investigation.

It's not going to get any better, after today.

There are crimes here - and only one party will be willing to look at EVERYTHING - and it ain't Republican!

He was asking Comey about who was in the room with him that could have released the "dossier"? I was under the impression that Mother Jones and a few in the press already had the dossier before it was ever shown to Donald Trump??
