I thought the meeting was late afternoon, after the rest of the Congress had left for recess? Maybe I misunderstood.

I don’t think the timing would matter. Rubio, like his mentors McCain and Graham, has been eager to gin up a new Cold War rather than wait to see if a new one is inevitable. So his story would be in that direction no matter what he’s seen or when he’s seen it.

Rubio was spouting off to influence public opinion, that’s the sole reason he would be making a statement like that at this point.

Someone said they saw a CNN thing on this that stated the committee is taking steps to keep the White House from destroying any documents anyone else see that?

Steven Dennis tweets that Schumer was there for part of the meeting and that it was at least a couple of hours long and in the afternoon. Rubio’s tweet must have been his usual posturing.

If this was bad for Trump, the MenSeekingMen would be ****ing all over each other in pyrotechnic glee. They aren’t. They’ve gone rather silent on the matter.

DU would have picked up the scent, and they haven’t. Thus, thi s is most likely horrific for the RATS.

I could be wrong, this is just my instinct.

I have raised this with my sources, and they are saying nothing. So
1) they obviously are aware, but because of classification issues or because of just wanting to shut up about it, they aren’t commenting.
2) I have at least tried to see if they trust Comey. I don’t but it’s unlike Trump to keep him unless it’s a “Godfather” thing with the mortician, if you remember that scene.
3) I really don’t like new comm director. The people they are talking to about replacing Flynn are really good, including Bolton (Yes, I like him despite some Freepers) and one of my faves, H. R. McMaster. I weighed in that he would be my choice and they asked why and I told them. We’ll see.

I see Bannon will speak at CPAC.

The senators were tight-lipped as they left the meeting to start their week-long recess, but one attendee said the closed-door briefing was about Russia. Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who was at the meeting, would not comment afterward but later tweeted: “I am now very confident Senate Intel Comm I serve on will conduct thorough bipartisan investigation of #Putin interference and influence.”

That is from the CNN Story. Rubio made his tweet prior to the meeting. Why did CNN lie? To shade a story?

Watch the documentary on McAfee. You might not be so impressed with him.

This is why I suspect FISA warrants. They get involved, even senators know to shut the heck up about it, against every leak instinct fiber in their body.

Really, the bigger Q is why isn’t CNN running this down? Because this thing is NOT going their way. Recall Tappers hydrophobia yesterday. That’s the behavior of the rotten gang the New Sheriff chases out of town, they shoot up the storefronts and people on their retreat, and hurl their own weapons when they run out of ammo.

It does seem like maybe he was rallying support.
______________________________

Showing the Senators that he, POTUS, has clout with the voters. As in political capital. Elections are coming.

In the article, it says the Russians used fronts and shells to invest. That clears POTUS and puts the onus on the Russians for deceptive tactics.

I’m hoping that if Pence’s friend is a pedo, Pence had no idea. It’s possible for close friends and family to have no idea, if someone is skilled at dissembling.

Finally, WHY were McCain and Graham absent? Arrogance? Guilt? They already knew what Comey had to say and it was their worst nightmare? They will use the holiday to arrange permanent vacations in far-off venues?

McLettuce was in Europe trashing Trump and Graham was saving the vote for Pruitt.

We shouldn’t be complacent.

There is an element of evil among the liberals and we would do well to keep a close watch on them all. We probably have no conception of the depth of their vile treachery.

One great approach would be to investigate all of THEM and tie up all their energies defending themselves. We could delve into their lives and publicize all their corruption.

W’s big mistake was that he wouldn’t defend himself and the whole GOP was too ladylike to get themselves dusty helping him.

Trump has shown us we have to fight back. It won’t be pretty. It will be distasteful. But we have to do it for our grandchildren. This is America’s last chance.

Those of you with the means to investigate and shine the spotlight on liberal hypocrisy and wrongdoing, please consider doing so.

Well since Graham was there for Pruitt why wasn’t he at the meeting? Or was he?
