Senators Silent After Meeting With FBI Director Comey

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.

Schumer will blab to all his commie buddies and after that if it can be spun to hurt our side it will be released.If not it will be spun to always help their side. I’m just wondering if it has to do with pizza.....

They are either scared to death and will shut up or were purposely briefed so they would leak,hard to tell.

Here in FLa. we wrote Rubio off along time ago. We wouldn’t trust him to do or say anything in anyone’s favor but his own.

Florida is hanging in the balance by a thread. As more deep-blue state north-easterners retire here, it will go the same way as Virginia.

Tell me about it. I'm on the REC for our county and we delivered almost 100% Republican wins last cycle and hopefully will do it again next time. It's the Gold Coast that screws up the entire state.

From Homestead to Port St.Lucie the dems are dominant.One good move is that Dade County has already removed itself as a sanctuary city. That will make a difference. No telling how many illegals are there. Estimates as high as 25%. Get rid of them and we stand a chance. As for Broward and Palm Beach that's the home of washerwoman former dnc chair,its near hopeless.

You are exactly right.

The reason, as best I can tell, Trump kept Comey is ... well, think of the scene in the “Godfather” where Brando rescues the mortician and says he will collect some day.

All I know is that Trump kept him fot a reason. Think of the opening scene in the Godfather where he rescues the mortician for a future favor.

Absolutely! Trump is one guy that every time I try and second guess him I wind up being wrong and he’s right.
