Insert Gilda Radner "Never Mind" meme here.

Still, fun to see Drumpf get all bent out of shape over perceived intrusions into his sphere-of-crap.

and, working for Trump may be a career killer for many, so maybe they're looking to redeem themselves

who have worked on both the Senate and House sides in various staff type jobs. Amazing how it becomes the Nine to Five or more,and it is all about process and not about partisanship. Especially in a Investigative or Legal position.

That these 'former Trump aides' were actually career types who had worked for the Obama Administration, therefore carrying a stink Trump simply couldn't tolerate.

If that's the case, then this is another example of the Trumpster shooting himself in the foot.

Trump is such a spiteful person and his Aides are cut from the same cloth. Trump knows he is in deep Political trouble and these same Aides are doing what ever it takes to keep their jobs as well as keep the Conspiracy Theories alive.

....The Dems and their committees are going “nuts.” The Republicans never did this to President Obama, there would be no time left to run government. I hear other committee heads will do the same thing. Even stealing people who work at White House! A continuation of Witch Hunt!

They've spent a quarter century running a bullshit-fog machine.

Granted, they did not do this same exact thing, but that's because there was no cause, and they couldn't even fake it.

"LIBTARDS" then we can be sure that we've pushed him over the edge. Right now he's just barely balancing before the fall.



I'm ready for the full crack up.

Well done, Representative Schiff!!
