So, what is the barometer reading on the rumors about tomorrow's Congressional hearing?

Will this be another Grinched moment for us?

50-50. Information will be carefully revealed so that no one appears to come away with a win.

There won't be enough information to make the Russia-Trump connection, so Trump gets away free.

The wire-tap that caught Flynn was illegal, so Comey is in survival mode. Deals have been made; agreements reached so we won't get anything of value.

Just another clue.

This is the big one! Even with carefully crafted questions that are meant to withhold information, we will still have enough info to connect the dots.

This will be the definitive big one. History will remember this as the day that America lost plausible deniability and its innocence.

It could be explosive or it could be a fizzle. We'll just have to see. The problem is that it's an open hearing, so classified information will not be discussed in detail. That will have to wait for a closed hearing.

Either the pits of hell will open up, Jesus will return, or an unnoticed asteroid will hit the Earth. My plan is to stay on the Planet of my birth orbiting the sun.

My guess at the end of the day most people will be as ill informed or stupid as they were when they started the day.

Republicans will go through the motions, silence any Dems who wish to speak up and declare it over without actually looking at any of it.

Seems the focus of the investigation, as 'THAT is one known crime that was committed'.
