As Careful As Comey Was Trying To Be I Think He Let Something Slip Today...

At one point in answering a question about Flynn he said "The Flynn case" and then quickly corrected himself to "the Flynn investigation".

It caught my attention for two reasons; first because no one else was specifically named as being investigated - just that they were looking into the tRump - Russian connection.

And second the word "case.

It might have just been a poor choice of words, but I would be nervous if I were Mike Flynn.

2. And the trump cartel knew Flynn had committed treason, and they appointed him anyway.

The reason you would do that is

a. you are also committing treason and have been for months

b. you have every intention of ignoring it and if necessary pardoning for it


One tenth of the info would have any Democrat impeached and on trial for their lives.

of coverage today.

And just as likely to be 'the case' in question.

ETA: Nunes alluded to it yesterday too, as 'THAT is the one crime we know of...'

Schiff seemed confident and gleeful in emphasizing that point to Jake Tapper today, that Trump's own people may have been source of leaks and that Flynn was disliked by many in Trump circle and in govt

9. ...or Pence's people

Some of the leaks said that Pence was furious that Flynn lied to him and that Trump knew it.

Or Priebus's people. He's apparently been getting the blame for many of the administrations misfires.

Don't know if they are the only ones who see the name(s), so may not be too hard to investigate?
