FBI Director James Comey met separately with members of the Senate and House for highly classified briefings. Members went into the briefings looking for a firm answer from the FBI to the question of whether or not their was an ongoing investigation into possible ties between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia but emerged silent on that question and appearing visibly disturbed.

On the Senate side, Comey met with the Chair, Senator Chuck Grassley, and Ranking Member, Senator Dianne Feinstein, of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

After the meeting, Feinstein spoke very briefly with reporters who had been waiting for the pair to emerge from the briefing:

Long-time observers of events on the Hill noted the unusually somber appearances of the Senators:

I've seen Feinstein have the worried look on her face. This is more than that. She just met with FBI chief Comey.

1. Her smile is recognition, something the reporter asked was something familiar to her.

Something she had heard before, something she knew to be true. Not sure what though.

4. The smile was Almost as if

The minute the reporter said "can you confirm"
She instinctively knew the next words would be somehow related to "investigation/ trump/ Russia"

And I read the smile+ body language as a combination of:

"Dude, you have no idea.... if you only knew.... &
that's the understatement of the year"

2. This happened yesterday so I'm wondering why something wasn't said about it today?

Why isn't this big news?

3. Our Allies were watching Drumpf

I think there are some real problems around the corner for this clown. The meeting had to expose more than just "Obama didn't tap his wires". She said highly classified

6. And the voice quality of phone intercepts is generally high

making it pretty hard to deny
