If Priebus asked the FBI to lie and cover up...he broke the law..Plain and Simple..

Why did he ask them? Whose idea was that??
Will Priebus tell the truth to save his ass.?

These questions will be answered soon..and it ain't pretty but it will take down a few..

3. If that happens, will that refusal to pursue charges also be a scandal ?

the AG is loyal to Trump not the law. Ultimately the right owns the whole show.

2. He asked them to down-play media reports. You are right - why would he do that?

Who in intelligence led him to believe the reports were "grossly overstated"?

5. Morning Joe...

Morning Joe said that it was the FBI (McCabe, I think his name is) that initiated the conversation with Priebus telling him that the FBI isn't finding any colluding between tRUMP and Russia. So, Priebus asks McCabe to come out and tell the public that. But, McCabe says "no." And, then Priebus goes to Comey and asks the same thing of him and Comey also says "no." So, the way I look at it, the FBI (McCabe) was wrong to approach Priebus to tell him they're not finding anything, but then it was also wrong for Priebus to ask McCabe and Comey to come out to the public to let them know of their supposed non-findings. So, IMO, aren't both the FBI and Priebus at fault??

11. Perhaps nothing will happen, but the fact "Drumpf ordered his flunkies to do it"
