Is this a REAL BOMBSHELL because the word has really lost so much meaning (just from hannity alone) that BOMBSHELL really needs to be something Hugh and Series at this point.

Seems like there’s a Seinfeld skit in there somewhere.

George: “Have I got a bombshell to tell you, Jerry!”

Seinfeld: “You got a job! You got a date! You left a 15 percent tip!”

George: “Just for that, i’m not gonna tell you the bombshell!! And it was big, baby, it was BIG!!!”

The only correction I would make...

“...more high praise for Coats from the four murky corners of the DC Swamp today...”

I don’t consider the Swamp to be a four-corner entity. If you drew it on paper, it would reveal itself to be more like a Rorschach blot. Better yet (or, worse yet), it would look like a huge cancerous tumor that has metastasized into various parts of the body politic.

But still, I hope this is the right move by PDJT. Every appointment he makes, I bite my lip a little. Could this be a Sessions repeat...

The truly biggest, loudest bombshell of them all was that Hillary orchestrated and paid for the Steele report and the report was used by the FBI, the DOJ, and all the intelligence agencies as legitimate.

The second biggest bombshell was that the Republicans rolled over and submitted to it.

I think bombshell is the new racist.

It requires skill to write lines that these characters would probably say, AND have the correct words in those lines that make you hear their voices saying it.

Well done.

"There has been some speculation that ODNI Dan Coats needed to step aside because he was refusing to comply with the declassification process. It’s worth waiting to see if that assumption is accurate, or if the speculation is unfounded. However, there is validity to the speculation based on the structure of how executive declassification is done."

To the swamp rats who infest D.C. it was a bombshell. They realize that, one by one they are going to be taken out. Especially after Trump wins a second term. Their days are numbered.

This does qualify as a bombshell if he can be confirmed. You saw last week that Ratcliffe is fully aware of what the coup plotters were doing. It is also obvious he wants to hold them accountable. Coats and Wray were the only firewalls left (assuming Horowitz and Durham do their jobs). Its beginning to look like September and October are going to be blockbuster months for the truth.

“This is a bombshell?”

It is because it ends the stonewalling by the Deep State. Now anyone of the little guys who knows what really went on, and trust me, many hundreds know, with a good number on our side. To put it another way, you can’t run operations as they did from the top - you need guys in the trenches to carry it out. But they (mostly) have families to feed, so they’ve laid low. Now it all changes.

This could be even a KABOOM!!

This has to be a great pick. The libtards are absolutely losing their minds.
