Why is Clapper making a “Q” sign in the fifth photo from the top at that CTH article?

GUWESS who’s going to lose this one, and it isn’t going to be Trump.

Time to jail Mueller, McCabe, Strzok/Page, the Ohrs, Baker, Sullivan, Yates, Holder, Lynch, Hillary and Obama.

The only “Rushing Collusion” I have here is my hurry to clean out the outhouses of what is supposed to be an honorable DOJ/ FBI, Congress and the whole recent Obama Outhouse.

I’ll buy the toilet paper and ExLax.

“So they have the guy named as a co-conspirator with Fusion GPS as an author of this article?”

Be specific. Which author?

What’s your source?

“WaPoo is just making this up ... unsigned statement ... all anonymously sourced or not sourced at all ... stated as FACT ... total fake news”

Wish it were as simple as that.

It is posted on the FIB (transposed intentionally) website:

https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-statement-on-hpsci-memo

Of course, when it becomes obvious that WP, Google, and other info sources have become front organizations of corrupted “intelligence” agencies, it all begins to make sense.

“We need to get every rabid lefty that voted for Hillary out of the fed govt. All 97 percent of them.”

Whether 30%, 50%, or 97%, the leftist politicos are worse than dead weight anyway. They’re actively engaging in a war against justice. Better off without them. Better off with nothing getting done, than having what gets done being evil.

Great catch.

I don’t think Shannon Bream knows what she is talking about. Did she cite any source? Of late, I haven’t found Shannon too reliable. She says she is being an objective reporter, but I sense an hostility to Pres. Trump on her part. Of course, this might just might be my own subjective thinking.

The memo was voted out of committee at the first available session after Nunes completed the summary.

The only point of #ReleaseTheMemo was to pressure Ryan and the rest of the House Leadership not to stand in the way of the Intel Committee to force a vote by the whole House.

And before you go into the usual Ryan-is-a-tool-of-the-Devil routine, The Speaker was under enormous pressure from both the DOJ and the FBI to suppress the the memo, and he needed the public support.

Ryan is a piece of living sh!t that wants Trump gone as much as the deep state does

No one cares if he was under pressure.

It matters, because it was within his power to block release of the memo.

So yes, sensible people very much did care.

“It matters, because it was within his power to block release of the memo.”

It was? I thought he just urged it’s release. Either way he’s still a pathetic ball gargling corrupt member of the swamp. A hillary voter.

George Nori/Norey Coast-to-Coast or whatever his name is, touting Dan Ellesberg’s smoke and mirrors. Dan was the guy encouraging leaking with that misnamed “Truth-Telling Commission” a while back.

FBI and DoJ had well over a year to cooperate with the committee if they were concerned with getting the facts straight; but they conspired to withhold the truth. Based on that, they are in no position to claim innocence now.

...”Unsigned....it means nothing...People are going to prison!”...

It is way past time that the treasonous in our government are sent to prison. That is the only thing which will curtail the criminals who manage to worm their way into our system.
