Senators Silent After Meeting With FBI Director Comey
rollcall.com ^ | 2/17/17 | Niels Lesniewski/Bridget Bowman

Not much can get between senators and a recess. Except, perhaps, FBI Director James B. Comey.

Members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, along with ex-officio member and Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, huddled for a total of more than two hours on Friday with Comey.

The FBI director’s visit was not announced publicly, and it’s possible members of the Capitol Hill press corps only found out because he was spotted in the hallways and entered a secure room used for intelligence briefings.

But leaving that secure room in the Capitol Visitor Center, senators declined to even confirm the presence of the FBI director, much less the substance of the meeting. Those who did talk generally only gave “no comments” or referred questions to Intelligence Chairman Richard M. Burr and ranking member Mark Warner.

-—Trump is too smart to try and prosecute reporters.-—

However, he should bypass the reporters and put the publishers in jail. Even a few days in jail would be a severe inconvenience for Pinch Shultzberger. The photos of the perp walk alone would be historical. Taking the case to the supreme court would be very expensive and likely hard on his stock price.

Vault7 release date was the first thing that came to my mind.

OK, I can see that and hope you are right. I’d love to see mr. and mrs foundation fraud in jail forever, their ill gotten gains seized, and their idiot spawn out in the street as a beginning. I just do not trust Comey and what really galls me is that when stymied by lynch he never made an appeal to Congress.

Find the tweet entry on Twitter page; it will have a time & date on it.

That way, will know if it was before or after the announcement of the meeting of the Intel committee.

What is the date & time on that tweet?

Was it before the Intel committee meeting with Comey?

This book is the definitive tale of the Modway saga. It makes much of what was written and what you think you know obsolete.

Since not much has leaked about it, I would wager that the Left heard stuff they didn’t want to hear and some of it was about an aggressive push to find illegal leakers....

Or a multi-count felony stack against Clinton and players, or even a nice little summary of who is going down over #PizzaGate.

The movie Midway is largely based on the writings of Lt Cdr Fuchida that have been shown to be fictional and inaccurate.

If you have an interest in Midway, read this Freeper highly recommended (not me) book.....

Interestingly, Palm Beach County is also home to Rush and the Trump Mar a Lago palace.

I clicked on the link and it says 5:59. Is that a different time zone than D.C. Time?

Is that before or after the meeting.

It still says 2:59 PM for me. Everything is so vague it’s hard to know. All the stories have been generated by the one story and I haven’t been able to find any additional information.

I have no idea what my Twitter time setting is, so obviously the date stamp is different depending on an individual's setting.

Thanks for the reply.

We can hope - there has to be a reason why Trump left Comey in place and I’m hoping that it wasn’t Comey playing him while planning to try to perform the coup de grace....
