So Hilarious

Quote:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
James Clapper and others stated that there is no evidence Potus colluded with Russia. This story is FAKE NEWS and everyone knows it!
4:35 AM - 20 Mar 2017
Yet Fox News is what he relies on to accuse former Presidents of breaking the law

Quote:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
The Democrats made up and pushed the Russian story as an excuse for running a terrible campaign. Big advantage in Electoral College & lost!
4:49 AM - 20 Mar 2017
more hilarity

Wonder how this Comey thing is going to go today.
Everyone in the universe including Trump knows he was lying about wire tapps

Important test for the media. The tweets should be outright ignored, Trump obviously want us to talk about anything other than Comey going on the record that Trump simply made up the Obama wiretap claim. Let's see how they do.

Sigh...if only the media had remembered that they could ignore Trump 12 months ago we likely wouldn't be in this mess...

Comey just confirmed the investigation (Russian interference in the election).

It's all Obama's plan to take down all the people he doesn't like!

He had Comey make the October surprise to get rid of Clinton once and for all. No one would believe he would do it after playing nice all those years and campaigning for her but it just shows how despicable a person he is!

And then he got Comey and the FBI to investigate and continues his support of this the Trump campaign and the new administration. He will take down Trump and the GOP will fall during mid-term elections. Then it's Michelle 2020!!!!

Or at least this is the type of crap I expect to see on facebook.

I also expect Trump to still say "see see see they were wiretapping me! And Obama demanded it! FAKE NEWS!!" Hopefully the media actually concentrates on the investigation and continues to dig there and put an end this administration.

I'm sure 'no evidence' will be found through this investigation.

Not that I believe that or anything. Just have a feeling.

There will be multiple hearings. The one today is in the House. The Senate one will have more meaning.

Investigate the wire tapping, and they "found no evidence to support that slanderous accusation"
I like the wording there.

This Adam Schiff speech is pretty amazing actually.
Says, Russia, Trump campaign made deal to make Hillary look bad in exchange for not criticizing Russia in Ukraine, and to start badmouthing NATO.

Trey Gowdy with another utterly humiliating performance, just like the Benghazi hearings.

So from what I understand there is "Strong circumstantial evidence of collusion" between Trump administration and Russia with "Indirect evidence of acts" and "direct evidence of deception" linked to Trump.

Seems like now it's not a matter of if collusion happened they are investigating but how.

FBI investigation is now official.

Quote:
But this Sunday on "Meet The Press," Schiff, D-Calif., told host Chuck Todd, "I was surprised to see Director Clapper say that because I don't think you can make that claim categorically as he did. I would characterize it this way at the outset of the investigation: There is circumstantial evidence of collusion. There is direct evidence, I think, of deception and that's where we begin the investigation."
Quote:
FBI Director James Comey on Monday confirmed that the bureau is investigating Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election — including any links or coordination between members of Donald Trump's campaign and Moscow.

The bombshell revelation puts an end to months of roiling speculation and frustration on the part of Democrats, who saw the director’s silence as a double-standard after Comey’s repeated disclosures in the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

In a dramatic moment at the beginning of a hotly anticipated House Intelligence Committee hearing on Russian interference in the U.S. election, Comey announced that he had been authorized by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to break bureau policy and publicly disclose the probe.

“As you know our practice is not to confirm the existence of an ongoing investigation,” he said. “But in usual circumstances where it is in the public interest, it may be appropriate to do so.”

A palpable ripple of anticipation went through the hearing room as Comey continued: “This is one of those circumstances.”
But he declined to provide more details, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.

“I can promise you we will follow the facts wherever they lead,” Comey vowed.

So this is basically two separate hearings: The Dems are investigating Trump/Russia, and the GOP are trying to criminalize portions of news reporting.

Look over there!

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump

What about all of the contact with the Clinton campaign and the Russians? Also, is it true that the DNC would not let the FBI in to look?
