Surprise visit by Rosenstein and Wray(FBI) to the Senate Intel Committee today.

Behind closed doors.

What do you think they discussed??

Yesterday, in his "studio", Trump said he could take the "heat". He liked the "heat".

Today, he is saying that the Republicans should stop this witch hunt that has been going on for a year now. He is talking about collusion, collusion, collusion, and Hillary.

He complains that Hillary was not even questioned under oath and they questioned her on a 4th of July weekend. They were deferential to her, according to Donald Trump.

But it could be that she doesn't measure up to the same degree of criminality as Donald Trump? Maybe there was a reason that she was not indicted??

But Trump is feeling the "heat" today. It shows in his words and his actions. He is waiting for the next shoe to drop.

He could be blaming his troubles on Woodrow Wilson. Or Pete Rose. Or anyone. Wouldn't make any difference.

He has made his own troubles. No one else is to blame.

I really can't wait until he starts to blame Kushner for misleading him. And then when Kushner testifies, he'll blame Ivankya, etc. If he had a dog, it would be kicked and blamed. Anybody but...

But I'm still advocating for a brain parasite similar to the ones that make rats stupid around cats. (Not saying dump is a rat or putin is a cat...)

Maybe someone's perfected a small RF implant?

They met with Paul Ryan about the Trump-Russia investigation last week. Now they are meeting Senate Intelligence Committee leaders Richard Burr and Mark Warner. And then this this:

FBI Director Wray and Deputy AG Rosenstein also met with Rep Adam Schiff (D-CA) – the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee – earlier this morning, a person with direct knowledge of the meeting tells NBC News.

Everything should go thru Nunes, right??

Make you wonder just what they talked to Paul Ryan about a few days ago?

Nunes made a statement afterward that he was going to continue the investigation of Hillary Clinton but so far, we have heard nothing from him??

So robo-pilot: HILLARY, EMAIL SCANDAL, BENGHAZI, HILLARY, EMAIL ...

With all the r-rats fleeing the capital, I wonder if their nest is too foul for even them.
Oooh - call in the Terminator: Delay!

Why? Because before Wray became head of the FBI, he was all up in Gazprom and Rosneft.

I can't wait for the next shoe to drop, but if it's dependent on Wray, then it will probably be a soft shoe.

I'm starting to believe that if you deal with the putin regime you can't be unsullied.

They have everything you do on camera/tape. They know more about you that your own government. They have subtly offered you gifts you shouldn't have accepted. They may have given you more that you want.

So many trips to rUSSRia and other points by so many "interesting" parties. So many opportunities to be corrupted - willingly or not.

That is worrying to me. Nothing changed or came of it. So why is this new meeting set up? We do not know what the point of either meeting was/is actually. We thought it may have to do with firing Sessions before the Moron and the GOP cabal went to Camp David without Sessions being invited. Now he is going after the other investigations...WHY?
Be ready for more lies, lies, lies and cover up, collusion, etc with the GOP, the Moron and the FBI(?). What is Rosenstein up to and whose side is he really on!?! Especially with the new release of the GPS testimony which they all read over 6 months ago?!?

since Ryan isn't on the Intel Committee.

This whole thing is getting so bizarre. It's like a movie, except we don't get to see what's really going on. Or know how it ends.

I need to catch up.

I don't see Ryan doing anything that Trump wouldn't want. He's beholden to Trump for giving him his life's dream: a huge, historical tax cut for himself and other wealthy people.

To tell him that Nunes isn’t getting any of the documents Nunes had subpoenaed. Nunes can’t be trusted.

and advised discretion in public discussions

This seems a large money laundering investigation now wrapped in an overarching counter-intelligence cloak

It may yet include election tampering

I think the law enforcement guys are trying to depoliticize it a bit, rule of law and all that
