also sounds less like a fishing trip, more like they have specific instances in mind.

This is just a shot over the globalist ship’s bow. The president knows the Republicrats will stonewall this, but it’s his warning shot to all of them that more is coming their way. Ryan and McConnell are wetting their pants and making frantic calls to their Demorat globalist counterparts Pelousy and Chucky on what to do next.

It is. Obama’s activities involve many people, who are likely already under active surveillance & investigation now. As DoJ gets involved more publicly in coming weeks, they will be willing to sing to save their tails. I bet Mr. Obama’s little war room is pretty active this morning. Lots of loose ends to tie up and false narrative game planning to do.

I believe the acting Deputy AG was intentionally avoided in the succession plan Lynch put in place right before she left. That in and of itself give me some confidence in the guy, because they avoided him. Don’t know how true, but this guy is known for being apolitical and calls it how he sees it no matter what. They have to be soiling their pants this morning.

Let’s see who is the John Dean of this scandal. You may have to start with smaller fish and get them to roll over.

Start with Rick Wilson - Evan McMuffin ... This whole Russian connection was started by the GOPe ... in the primaries. Do not be surprised to find out Obama's crew was fed intel by the GOPe!!!!

This is good. But an investigation by the DOJ would be better. Hopefully, that is coming.

This will be debated at FR. Probably in our normal Hot and Heavy mode.

My View: DOJ will proceed quietly. Congress will be the one we watch, listen to, replay and post on YouTube. It will be great fun.

In the end it will be the DOJ investigation that counts. But the PR value of a Congressional Investigation will pay big dividends at the Ballot Box. And, hopefully, it will help squelch the Grand Obama Plan to Impeach Trump.

He has been above and ignored the rule of law for so long he figures the rules don’t apply to him. He was banking on a Hillary win to continue the lawlessness. Only way I can try to understand his brazen arrogance and utter stupidity.

Yes zero YOU acted very stupidly

I believe that it was going to be his War Room when Hil was President.

She was simply going to be a figurehead and he was going to be running the show.

All she wanted was the perks and her name in the history books.

She got part of that right, she is going down in history as THE BIGGEST LOSER.

Agreed. Hearings on C-span day after day will open some eyes. The media will find it hard to completely ignore.

WOW….if you missed Mark Levin on Fox News just now, you missed a powerful indictment of Obama based on the reporting of the NEW YORK TIMES! He read excerpts from their coverage that clearly reveals that Obama was spying on the Trump campaign since the spring of 2016 by using five different agencies of the federal government. His cover was the bogus “Russian contact” when in fact, Hillary's campaign had more direct dealings with Russia. The entire Russian angle was preplanned to discredit Trump's campaign and now his presidency. Get the tape of this presentation by Levin.
What needs to happen now since Sessions wimped out, is that President Trump should appoint Giuliani as Interim A.G. and we need to see what Obama knew and when did he know it.

Agree.

Congress can’t be trusted with something like this.

Statements from Graham seems that he really wants to distance himself from this. However, the way McCain has been sneaking around passing on fake information about Trump and the Russians, it really seems like McCain might be part of it.

Sessions has recused himself. A special prosecutor, most likely.

The White House is correct to make this demand because it puts the Democrats on the spot. But in reality the investigation is far better conducted by a grand jury rather than these hopeless congressional committees where the Republicans are no better than the Democrats when the television cameras are on.

Add this to Spicer's "Neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted" comment and I am concerned that this sounds like Trump is backing away from yesterday's fireworks, hoping it all goes away and people will forget about it.

I hope I'm wrong.
