I think our country is at the edge of a cliff

15. They looked tired. And displeased.

It could be they have a lot of information that's damning. "Displeased" because of big bad things in the future.

It could be that they have a lot of suspicious information but nothing that is really big. "Displeased" because they have a lot of work and maybe nothing will come of it.

It could be that all the information they hoped would stop Trump just isn't there and all we know is all there is to know. "Displeased" because they have raised massive suspicions and now have to let them slide.


For example, we hear "X talked to so-and-so" and there's proof of recordings. We assume that if, say, sanctions came up as a topic then it had to be Trump's guy discussing how to get rid of them. But what little we know would also be compatible with, "So, X, how's about getting rid of those sanctions?" "Sorry, Ivan, if I had my way we'd triple them. Can we get back to the topic?"

Yeah, suspicions are okay. But acting on them is risky and believing them riskier. Esp. when there's no need to do either.
