(58,785 posts)It's critically important to meet their destructively unprincipled maneuvers with adherence (as much as possible) to principled, responsible, and long-established practices.

(58,785 posts)is that the intel services backed the DoJ against this WH aggression; there was some nervousness expressed on the boob tube about what would happen if they did not.
Neoconservative The Daily Standard has an article with a little background background for what Westwood is hearing. It's also speculating on possible reasons for Nunes's silence after the meetings, but not for what could follow.

President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Mueller, Comey, Hillary Clinton, the FBI, CIA, Deep State, George Soros, Elvis, Big Foot, the Tan Suit, Abbot & Costello, Ancient Aliens, Rod Rosenstein, H.R. Pufnstuf, Ms. Piggy, Chemtrail Pilots, Charo, the Illuminati, and the Builderburgs (I'm sure I missed a few) are all conspiring against Herr Dick Tator?
It's because, THEY.DO.NOT.EXIST!

Dang, I would have never suspected her.
The rest of it makes sense, but I'm heartbroken now.

(33,100 posts)My sources tell me it's the "Bilderberg Group" and not "Builderburgs" as I had in the text above.
Also, Ms. Piggy prefers to be called Miss Piggy.
Yeah, Charo is a hot tamale.

(3,722 posts)that Nunes is not crowing about the Mueller team "hiding something" because they did not give him what they were "demanding". Start up a new whacky conspiracy to re stoke the knuckle draggers. Would seem to be right out of his playbook.

(17,982 posts)Said nothing is proof they found out nothing. Do they honestly think the FBI Leaders are dummies.?
They found out what the FBI wanted them to know.
And McConnells statement finished it off. Did you hear any more about Spygate yesterday?
Now, the Press is callingTrump, The Deal Breaker!

(3,344 posts)It's odd that was tweeted yesterday afternoon and I heard nothing about it. I wasn't watching CNN, but MSNBC never mentioned it.
