Come Monday?

How many Democrats will be out holding press conferences or speaking about the Russian hacking job? I say a flat zero. Anyone else?

You mean make an effort and maybe upset the applecart for everybody in power?

Don't bet the rent on it. Comey's still got his job and McConnell thinks he's untouchable and the whole rotten gang is looking more smug than ever.

Even Obama has dragged his feet for over a month and now it's too late for him to do jack shit about it. Maybe he just didn't want to believe it. Who knows?

Remember, we knew this bullshit was happening back in early October. I imagine that's why somebody's cage was rattled enough to shut the site down for 2 weeks.

Happy holidays.
