“Fill us in”

Like a hole?

Are you saying that you’re a hole who can’t look things up?

Comey interfering with a Congressional investigation. Time to fall on his sword.

“senior American officials” = “unsubstantiated rumors” = fake news = the only thing that NYT and WaPo publish anymore.

Sessions could fire the deputy in question but since there is no DOJ investigation no problem. The Congressional investigation freezes any DOJ/FBI investigation.

That’s a hard one. I can’t imagine Trump blowing up at someone without there being a tactical motive but maybe I am speculating too much.

Whether Trump was actually upset or not, what Comey did, I think, has had the better effect. He has effectively called them out and I don’t think they have anything damning but they probably did go for the taps which does not look good for them in light of the identity of the winner of the election.

According to the NYT, which cites 'senior American officials' Comey has argued that the "highly charged claim" is false and must be corrected as there is no evidence to back them up, but the DOJ has not yet released any such statement.

One could read it as Comey is siding with the Democrats, but Comey has now pushed the ball into the DOJ court. Interesting DOJ is silent about the matter. The old, "Wiretap??? Outrageous!!! We don't wiretap, do we DOJ? Er...DOJ???"

Comey could be playing smart politics here.

I think Comey is fence sitting, waiting to see which side gains the most in all this.

Today:

"In the meantime the pushback against Trump's accusation continues to grow with increasingly more republicans now rejecting the president's claims, and moments ago House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz told CBS that he has seen nothing that backs Trump's wiretap claims."

I'm afraid we're one hot-headed tweet away from a full pile-on from all sides against this president and his eventual removal from office. Trump better have all of his ducks-in-a-row for war with the deep state.

It's either the above or bend over and allow them to continue to run the country - as they have for decades now.
