Unbelievable! BURR just now: the burden is on the New York Times to get and show the memo.

Isn't the job of Congress to investigate such improprieties? Isn't that what the use of subpoena power is for?! I seem to remember it being used extensively in very recent past over and over again.

1. Gee, is this what Treey Gowdy was saying during the Benghazi farce?

I seem to remember Republicans taking a somewhat different attitude then......

[Freethinker65]

2. No, Burr. Do your fucking job!

[MontanaMama]

3. Pay attention to Burr.

He might be showing us who he is and what his intentions are. Did one of Dump's minions get to him??

[Leghorn21]

5. 10-4, Mama. I have no faith now or ever in this Burr mofo. Watching carefully indeed - n/t

[uponit7771]

15. Minion in the form of Ryan and McConnel

[MontanaMama]

19. Agreed.

They will go down with this ship. At least I hope they do. However, they will never turn on Dump. Ever. The frightening thing is that if Dump doesn't go down, they won't either.

4. Schiff is backing up the memo

[calguy]

6. I think the memo will show up at the right time

Comey knows where it is and when the right time to produce it. Ever since the firing, the leaks have been coming out, each one worse than the one before. I bet there is a lot more to come.

7. Burr was hoping to slow walk the senate investigation until Trump

created a "Wag the Dog" situation with N. Korea or Iran.

[MontanaMama]

8. Hearing now on CNN

That Comey wrote lots of memos about his interactions with Dump. He clearly wanted to document the conversations because he thought they'd be important. So, fuck you very much Richard Burr. Bring on the tapes!!!

[MFM008]

9. He's going all Nunes

On us.

[Ilsa]

10. Media pulls back a curtain and catches trump in flagrante delicto.

Congressional republicans refuse to turn their heads to see what's behind the curtain.

11. Sen. Lindsey Graham just commented lol

12. You can't make this stuff up.

He was in the midst of an investigation, he was following it where the evidence lead. In other words, he was doing something until he was fired by a person of interest in the investigation.

I'm not the brightest bulb, and even I get that much.

[Thrill]

16. And whats your job as a Senator?

[Demsrule86]

18. Burr and the rest have to be very careful...they could be charged with obstruction.

Nixon never went to jail but many around him did...Burr could find his ass in jail.

[duncang]

13. Don't worry buuurrr

I'm sure Comey can show everyone copies when he testifies.

[GallopingGhost]

14. That was infuriating.

I am also sick of the talking heads saying things like, "Is it possible he didn't know..." and "Is it possible he didn't understand..."

WTF. Does he even have an IQ?

[MontanaMama]

20. It is one of two things:

He's either a criminal or he's incompetent. I'm inclined to say he is both.

Motherfucker doesn't get a pass for being a giant orange ignoramus. JFC!!!

[GallopingGhost]

21. I vote both. n/t

[MontanaMama]

22. That's my vote too GG

These traitors have to go down, right?? I just heard Charlie Pierce tell Chris Hayes that his prediction is nothing happens and this all goes away. There isn't enough wine in my house tonight. Gah!

[GallopingGhost]

24. Ah, yes.

He's on the nothing to see here, this is no big deal, move along bandwagon.

[Mr. Ected]

17. Is this what it's like to live in a fascist state, Daddy?

Yes, dear, this is exactly what it's like.

United States of America, my ass. The GOP robbed us of our democracy. We may never get it back.

[Corgigal]

23. They know he did

It's a law enforcement thing. They make notes and date everything.

Hubby is a retired cop and still does this. It's done some wonders over the years. It's the reason why Bannon wanted the opposite, cause they wanted a she said/he said , which goes no where.

I'm again amazed on how dumb trump really is. I guess his private security detail never told the big man how ethical law enforcement works. Ethical, being the word here.
