anyway, and will also confirm there is nothing there....all to keep the Deplorables aflame, as they were promised flaming hot gruel before the Nunes memo release, and all they got was cold porridge.

More evidence of the legality of this whole process, and there are good reasons for these things to fight mobsters, drug running and the like, and tRUMP foreign or not, those who nefariously interfered with our elections.

Sessions is playing a purely partisan attack on the FBI. Folks know to trust the FBI far more than tRUMP, who has accumulated over 2000 lies (as tracked by some site, I don't remember who now at the moment). Sessions has been awful quiet lately until now, so what's going on?

??? Interesting play here maybe?????

I have generally kept a distance from the FBI, the agency has lots of good people, but does have a small number of Nazi types. But Trump and his minions versus the FBI, I chose to back the FBI without any concerns, at least then I won't remotely be backing traitors.

not because of what they will discover, but the distraction is becoming official and we can never know where it's going from here.
