It will be the Friday news dump prior to a holiday weekend. Donald might consider bombing a country as equivalent to a fireworks show.

might be coming down to discredit or hijack the investigations.

Grassley's letter/request, Graham's letter/request and the far right machine going into "collusion isn't illegal" mode.

WaPo having a bombshell story that they are sitting on, the US Government asked them to hold off on. It may (or may not) show direct evidence of Trump (himself) colluding with Putin. It may come out today, that may be what Rachel was hinting at.

If said story shows direct evidence it will be a bombshell for sure. Still think it has to do with a discredit campaign against FBI or something more serious.

That would also explain why Trump is tweeting about Mika and Joe and trying to create a big enough distraction to provide cover for it...it is classic Trump to think that he will get away with it if the country is obsessing about his Twitter nonsense.

There will be blood before it is all over, sadly.

America is in a war, no shooting yet, but an ACTUAL war with Russia and the GOP is assisting them.

When the FBI and areas of the DOJ are attacked by the GOP, we are at an impasse, could be no other way to resolve this than everybody hunkers down and protects their loved ones.

27. I think Flynn is singing

and the White House knows it. They're trying damage control:

"“A Trump campaign official said that Mr. Smith didn’t work for the campaign,” the Journal reported, “and that if Mr. Flynn coordinated with him in any way, it would have been in his capacity as a private individual.”

Right. "Mr. Flynn" acted as a private individual while working as a Trump campaign official to benefit the campaign by dirty tricks, aka collusion. Flynn KNOWS he's in deep doo-doo and his best hope is to practice his vocals and try to get the best possible deal.

That MAY be what's coming out soon, possibly tonight. Tick tick tick tick tick...we'll see what the BOOM is.

37. Not really. They've been questioned now for months.

Maybe Holder has heard that the staffers' morale is low, after the firing of Comey and the persistent criticisms and claims by the President himself that the investigation is a "hoax" and "fake" and "partisan."

I think the Congress people are behind the intel people.

It seems like the third branch of government, being the Judicial Branch, may need to come to the rescue if the Republican leadership of the Congress is colluding with Trump!

A Russian agent selecting Federal Judges, abrogating laws derived over many
decades of legislating and jurisprudence, castrating federal agencies

This is ILLEGITIMATE!
