The differences between questions asked by Democrats

and Republicans were striking in today's hearing. Democrats laid things out and asked good questions. Republicans focused on "leaks," which are beside the point, really. Democrats probed; Republicans tried to cover.

Very informative.

They should be trying to cut their losses, but they are digging their political graves, instead. When everything comes out, they're going to look bad, indeed. What Comey, Rogers and others in the IC know will bring Trump down. And it will bring his sycophants in Congress down with him.
