3. that fits too, yes, sigh nt

2. Unprecedented

6. Un-fucking-believable!! It's up to Mueller to put a stop to the Traitor-in-Chief...

assuming he's allowed to completed his investigation.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

4. Just WOW!!! What's next?! A military overthrow of our Constitutional government?!?!

[C_U_L8R]

5. I'm almost wishing for the military to step in and save us.

But treatment worse than cure and all that.

9. I hear ya... it's really up to Mueller now (a Republican!) to save us from the maniac in the WH.

Just not sure we can count on him to do the right thing.

[steve2470]

16. I really do think Mueller is a good man and I'm not the only one who thinks this

Mueller is more of a GHWB Republican, believes in fair play via democratic institutions and the rule of law. Yea yea I know GHWB ran the CIA but you get my point. Things were never THIS nuts during GHWB.

14. Schiff's fighting an up-hill battle... the Democrats' own memo is a good start.

They need our support... release the memo now!!!

10. Fascism is here and it is gaining speed.

[MariaCSR]

11. RIP Rule of law

[smirkymonkey]

12. I just can't believe this.

I really feel like I am going mad.

13. Who do you think created the Banana Republics

if not the US banana corporations and the military and authoritarians they owned.

[Botany]

15. Why? Because that is all they have got.

They know what those FISA wiretaps and monitors picked up and it
will electronic and tele communications between Russ/Putin and team
Trump and I have no doubt that they also might have picked up traffic to and
from the RNC, the NRA, Cambridge Analytica, Fox News, and certain members
of Congress ..... how did those different an unneeded GOP congressional hearings
into HRC have fresh intel that can be traced back to the Russian hacking and
Wikileaks? .... and that shit is gonna get out so they have try to muddy the waters
and talk about FBI and FISA abuse to try to change the subject.

BTW just by using the word FISA then you know it should be good because to get
a FISA wiretap you have to go before a federal judge (DU lawyers help me out here)
and show cause and then the judge has to make sure the actions are legal..

17. whatever they are trying to hide must be YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

[Dawson Leery]

18. The GOP sure loves Russia and their tactics suddenly.

[procon]

19. With is the same bunch that spent years trying to find Benghazi on a map.

With luck, maybe they can drag it out until 2020 elections.

[Arazi]

20. So which Dem is brave enough to commit seppeku and release the counter memo?

At this point, words of outrage are meaningless

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

24. Seriously! Release the fuckin' memo now!!!

[Corgigal]

21. What makes them think they are all so safe?

Like the DOJ and FBI can't do their own investigations on ranking members and drop the dirty deeds to any journalist they see fit.

They are fighting for their lives, cause they are corrupt. We can start a fund me site for one of our allies intelligence on Trump. Someone might bite on the offer.

[writerJT]

22. Schiff is doing everything he can to save America.

Great leader.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

25. Totally agree... a true American hero.

23. During a BBC-hostedTown Hall meeting

Held in SC and chaired by the Beeb's Zeinab Badawi, a GOP congresswoman said, "...our friends, the Russians."

No one said a word. My blood pressure doubled.
