"I am just so damned sick of all this crap. Allegations being thrown around left and right by Trump and the left and the media. Build the case first then make the charge, not in reverse order. I want to get moving on the agenda not get bogged down in this mess."

I share your exasperation, but maybe "this mess" is intended to STOP Trump's agenda.

The way Comey is framing this issue he may be honor bound to resign.

It is Internet only. Streamed. Already an old model but what the hell does that bald fat stupid Fran Dresher voiced f know. Let him open his pie hole and he will tell you I know it all. He is the kid you wanted to beat the F out off in middle school. Still is. Never grew up. A complete and utter jackass.

You never, ever, show the news whores what you've got in your quiver. This case cannot be won in a rigged media, so you make your fantastic accusations, and then let them writhe in the 'not knowing' of what you have.

By so doing, the Left and their vile mouthpieces all come out with their denials and equivocations. The longer you provide no proof, the surer they become that you have none. They get more bold, and start really mouthing off.

Then you lower the boom. And take 'em all off at the sac. Chop their jewels right off, in public. They have nowhere to run, or to hide.

That's how Trump nails 'em.

I can straighten out one thing in this mess for you. The rest of it is foggy.

Trump Tower has office spaces and tenants. There are one or two Russian banks who are tenants - they lease office space the same as any other business. That was reliably reported and the banks were named in something that I read. It has also been reported that it was determined during the investigation that there were no links to Trump with the bank(s).

I read yesterday (can’t remember source) that something to do with a Russian bank in Trump tower was part of the probable cause that got some kind of surveillance rolling, but (my speculation) it is a big leap to investigate Trump simply because of something a tenant did or is alleged to have done.

Hey Drag - one thing I have discovered on this site over the years, most people project their behavior as the behavior of everyone else, too.

You are one person. Just one. Only one. There are 320 million people in this country and it may surprise you that not everyone does the same things you do. Not everyone likes the same things you do. Not everyone likes the same foods you do and not everyone likes the same TV programs and movies as you do. Understand?

The networks and the papers are not the only ones in town, but they are still the most influential because of their reach.

Trump still lost the popular vote. More people voted for Hillary, or another way to put it is that more people vote against Trump than Hillary.

I have watched network news perhaps a dozen times since 1992, but I am aware their influence is still the greatest.

It’s a shame your hate clouds your thinking to the point that you cannot admit that he actually did something useful today.

If you have all your facts verified and in hand, you present the facts at the same time you present the accusation.

No one has all the facts in hand in this imbroglio.

senior American officials


Doesn’t say former officials or former Administration officials. So it could be Senators McCain and Graham, or Comey and McCabe, or Mabel and a co-worker at the USPS. All would qualify as “senior American officials”

LOL.... When I was 14 I was reading 1200 words a minute. Reading lab teacher thought I was cheating. She control tested me with comprehension and all the rest. She became my friend and in awe. Probably down to 900 wpm but I read a lot of bull crap that you have to digest. My butt hole isnt big enough to deal with all the crap we are fed in print. Now I prefer the video media. At least I can play fetch with my one of my cats (did not have to train her) as I listen to the complete and utter crap they spew. Make a paper ball. See if it is in your cat to be a fetcher. They don’t care about the look of disgust in your face when Pelosi comes on.

I saw what Comey said, and what Lynch said.

And you believed them. Right. Because whatever someone who worked for Barack Hussein 0bama said, you can take straight to the bank.

I'm not doing your homework for you; there's a thing called the Internet. Learn how to use it.

Now that Trump’s President, it should be easy enough to produce the FISA warrants, even if only redacted versions.

As President, Trump has authority to declassify anything, plus the clearance to see anything. The FISA warrants should be on his desk in less than one day.

Truthfully, I will have to watch it again...I half-watched but mostly listened to it twice...really was not watching and certainly not watching for shaking...and I am not sure what relevance shaking has on the actual content of his presentation...

However, you have piqued my interest, so I likely will watch it closely again tomorrow and try to note shaking.

Congress needs to investigate this and put people under oath. This is getting out of control, and the country can’t be governed this way, via innuendos, and accusations, and counter accusations, and stories from unnamed sources.

Trump has everything. He knows where this will end, who is involved, and where all the bones are hidden. You are wrong on this one.

You never reveal capabilities, tactics, strategem or intel at the onset of a conflict, and this is war.

Get a grip, boot.

It was trembling. Just go half way into the video turn down the sound and Levin is in a state of terror. Look at how the paper is moving like a geisha fanning herself. He got F’n busted as a criminal co conspirator and the law got layd out. The great one has been neutered, not that his balls ever dropped given his Fran Dresher voice. Jackass had it coming.
