(47,456 posts)I often wondered what had caused the looks on their faces.
It took them long enough to let the America people know what the heck is going on.

You know, except for being able to rake in million$ in non-reportable payments, life near the top of the ladder can be a bit teetering.

(22,976 posts)We were told by the media just how shaken she (DF) and some others appeared.
Every time I read or hear the dossier being downplayed or dismissed, I think of Diane Feinsteins visceral reaction in learning its contents, and I get even angrier that its been under wraps for so long. Grassley even said in a Iowa town hall a year ago that hed be open to releasing the dossier, but now, hes on the Trump timeline: Sure, sure, I dont see a problem in doing that...a year passes...

(34,661 posts)After years of reading about how the Senate of the US works,it is for the most part,all about Collegiality . Know one wants to call another any names and do their level best to not ruffle feathers over issues. After McConnell's stabbing the Dems in the back,those days seem to be over. Again,the looks on the Faces of the Gang of Eight told a story of what just happened.
Memories of the Gamesmanship that played out during the Clinton era are still fresh among many in Congress.

(24,777 posts)That's it. Was Maxine Waters there too? I remember her being livid.
OliverQ
(3,363 posts)anything so insanely shocking to create that look. She had the look of, "Trump is guilty of treason and didn't legitimately win."

I remember hearing that before Obama left, he safeguarded evidence in many places to make it harder to cover up. I assumed this meant that he placed evidence or briefed people in all the intelligence agencies.
There are no leaks coming out of Mueller's investigation and we still are scared shitless by what we have learned. Something tells me we know a small fraction of what she knew last summer.

Golden Raisin
(4,614 posts)exiting grim, silent and ashen-faced after the March 15, 2017 Trump-Russia briefings with Comey. They actually looked scared, as if they had seen a ghost, or worse. It made a deep impression on me and I still wonder what produced that effect. It must have been really bad.
