To get daily briefings, as opposed to weekly or monthly, there must be a lot of stuff going on, including new evidence coming in.

We would get to watch him pound the nails into Chump's coffin, one-by-one on live TV.

but if he is useful in bringing down 45, let the fun begin.

There will be a repuke circular firing squad. He will be in their crosshairs, they will be in his. Let the firing begin. Even if 45 is the last one brought down, I will be happy.

This sounds just like one of Trump's "big reveals" that are actually fits of narcissistic grandstanding. Why are Liberals so quick to embrace this blowhard? He has absolutely nothing.

But, I could see his point. Because he knows there are allies of Trump that sit on the Committee and there would be the inclination to spin whatever the testimony might be, without the public seeing the whole picture.

That means he wants to bypass the media, and the media is NOT on Trump's side, no matter what else they may be (illusionists, like they have been for 5,000 years).

I have a feeling Comey knows and wants to talk about more than just this silly Russia story.

There are multiple ways to read the actions that have been going on (particularly when you don't read other people's narratives of it first), and not all of them are necessarily good for us.
