Wow, they're ALL stonewalling!

[MoonRiver]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I thought there might be at least one patriot among this bunch!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. They want to keep their jobs. They've seen what happens to people

who won't stonewall for Dolt 45.

[MoonRiver]

4. I hoped they would show a higher standard of ethics than just keeping their jobs.

Silly me.

[Sancho]

2. covfefe!!!

[beachbum bob]

3. duh

what did you think was goin to happen with conservatives?

[leftstreet]

5. Once again, we get a Circus but no Bread n/t

[C_U_L8R]

6. Stonewalling doesn't help their cause one bit.

Just makes them look worse... the pressure will keep building until this thing busts wide open.... then these stonewallers will really be fucked. No. one ever claimed that the Trumps were very smart.

[MoonRiver]

8. That's why a lot of them are visibly squirming.

[Grammy23]

11. Not only squirming, but getting hot under the collar.

It would be nice to have them all hooked up to the leads they use for Lie detector machines since they measure stress response. I think some of their tracings would look like an earthquake.

[RKP5637]

26. It's now 100% obvious something is definitely going on. They all looked/acted guilty/lying as

hell. It's all about money first, keep their jobs, and country last. Patriots, bullshit on that. They've sold their souls to the antichrist!

[heaven05]

7. I expect the same thing

tomorrow...... Comey WILL not, I predict, say anything that will help to get IDIOT-potus impeached or even subject to much closer scrutiny of russian election interference....period.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Big difference: Comey doesn't work for the government any more.

And he's already spilled most of the beans anyhow. Whatever Comey's faults may be, I believe he will testify honestly. He has no reason not to.

[nini]

9. I guess it's good now everyone can now ask why they sided with the devil as the country was dying

Anyone who breaks from the pack and does the right thing will be a hero - which is sad since they already should have done it.

[RKP5637]

27. They've sold their souls to the antichrist! n/t

[avebury]

10. You filibuster better than most of my colleagues.

Ouch!

[Satch59]

12. By not answering the simple yes or no question...

Of whether POS had that conversation with them...they are confirming it, in my opinion.

[Blueplanet]

13. Under oath

These guys are under oath. One false move - Perjury.

[MoonRiver]

14. That's what my husband just said.

[YCHDT]

16. Yeap seems no would be pretty simple answer

[RKP5637]

28. Yep, exactly! Otherwise, it would have been easy! These guys were stressed as hell. And the

world was watching them FAIL!

[Javaman]

17. all good germans. nt

[RKP5637]

29. You nailed it!!! SOS!!! Just different times, people, places, but SOS!!! n/t

[The_jackalope]

18. IMO their "stonewalling" is in fact true patriotism.

They are refusing to say things in public that would cause the investigations to blow up in everyone's face. They will answer questions in closed session. But they don't want to jeopardize the investigations. I agree with their approach, and think they are patriotic for resisting the pressure being put on them. If they answered in public it would only screw things up.

I put my faith in Mueller and Schneidermann. I think all these witnesses are cooperating to the fullest where it will do some actual good for the nation.

[MoonRiver]

19. I disagree.

Their patriotic duty would be to blow the cover on Russiagate, right now.

[The_jackalope]

23. I think that would prevent an impeachment.

It would, however, turn the whole thing into an emotionally satisfying, point-scoring mud wrestle. You don't impeach a president and convict 20+ of his associates by mud wrestling. You do it by keeping silent until the articles of impeachment and the arrest warrants are ready to go.

This is neither the time nor the proper forum to blow the lid off the biggest can of worms the world has seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis. No matter how good it might feel.

[RKP5637]

30. You do make a good point, it's far more tactical and effective. n/t

[nadine_mn]

21. I agree with you

I'm sure they discussed with Mueller what they could talk about.

[MoonRiver]

24. Then they should have specifically said so. Although, I agree, it was implied.

[nadine_mn]

20. I think they know how serious this is and don't want

To say anything that will interfere with Muellers investigation.

[MoonRiver]

25. Not sure there's that much integrity among this crew.

We'll see tomorrow.

[Awsi Dooger]

22. I had to turn it off

One shameless squirmy white male after another.

Comey will be honest but no doubt tentative and technical, not emotional and blunt. Tentative and technical will have impact on scholarly types but not the public.
