If Trump approached Intel Chiefs back in March....?

[kentuck]

Why did it take so long for the story to come out?

Were they waiting on a special prosecutor?

Why was it leaked at this time?

[shraby]

1. Nobody was leaking it apparently. Now is a different story because he is known to have

tried to shut it down just recently. He's made himself vulnerable to damning leaks.

2. They were afraid they'd be replaced w those who would pledge the loyalty

To HIM that they would not. They seemed to be doing what they could to prevent them from ending or slowing the investigation while gathering evidence and keeping notes. Comey needed more than what he jotted down. They all did.

3. Dunno, looking, but

'Current and former officials said either Trump lacks an understanding of the FBI’s role as an independent law enforcement agency or does not care about maintaining such boundaries.'

15. yeah, sure. as many times as he has clashed w le?

give my a grande vente break.

4. They've been saving it up to hit all at once as a "package deal" that will be the downfall of many

in his administration. Now we are seeing 2-5 or more BIG breaks every day. These events aren't now just coming to light, but this is an organized delivery. As far as the "what's taking so long", he's been in for 120 days. This is a methodical takedown of a cancer within this country.

10. YES! More than once I tried to reassure impatient,

stressed out DUers, that things WERE happening, below the surface, that Universal Timing was perfect. Trust the Timing!
& stay NOISY & vigilant!

5. When it rains, it pours.

Things that are usually ignored or looked at as harmless usually come to the light when there is a torrent. The Comey memo/Trump's attempt to shut it down probably stirred something in the air that got folks talking about similar instances. You start sharing stories and realize that it wasn't a one-off thing that occurred with you/your agency.

7. what do you mean?

[furtheradu]

11. That was weird, huh?

[MyNameIsKhan]

13. Very weird... unless that was Eric Trump Donald Trump Jr Ivanka Tiffany or Baron

Consipiracy can be child out of wedlock huh

[furtheradu]

14. HA! That was MY 1st thought! Probably a few "unclaimed"..& THAT is sad.

Unfortunately, that thought interrupted my looking at the username. Wtheck! ?
Things may get weirder, as the collusion hits the fan!

8. Nothing to brag about there, Slappy. nt

[spanone]

9. trump has humiliated the intel community, time and again...i don't believe they take that lightly

especially from an asshole like trump.

he has made many enemies.

[malaise]

12. Yep

He will learn
