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

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 Trump on Wednesday declined to say whether he had actually ordered DOJ to release all the documents the House Intelligence Committee had subpoenaed. “I want them all to get together and I want them—because everybody wants this solved,” Trump said then. “I want them all to get together. They’ll sit in a room. Hopefully they’ll be able to work it out among themselves.”

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!

Charo?

Dang, I would have never suspected her.

The rest of it makes sense, but I'm heartbroken now.

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.

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.

Later, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told Fox News that there was "nothing really surprising" in the classified briefing.

defending the Mueller investigation. The fact that he heard nothing that changed his opinion about the investigation is a positive statement. I hate McConnell, and hate hearing his voice, but it takes some guts to defy the base and support the FBI in this situation.

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!”

Trump has given us all a good look at the double standard for entitled, rich, white men. They are accustomed to getting their way, legal or not.
