Boy, that is a lot of neat graphics they used. it looks more real when you do something like that. It's amazing that these folks are so concerned over big bad russia and never concerned about American plutonium deals made to russia.... If Russia is bad for America and ties to Russia are bad for Americans, shouldn't it run the length of American society or just republicans (who used to be democrats)?
"Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Trump demanded his loyalty and leaned on him to pull back the FBI’s investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn."
I don't like Trump and I think he's as incompetent as anyone else does, but I listened to part of Comey's testimony and I didn't get that Trump, either "demanded" Comey's loyalty or "leaned" on him to pull back from the Flynn investigation... He "asked" for both - there's a big difference and I think the article is putting a spin on the testimony that wasn't there.
Comey even clarified the part about loyalty and said that the President could count on honesty and he said he wanted "honest loyalty". Comey said he would get that... he did say they might have interpreted that phrase in two different ways, but he let that go. A conversation of that nature would have been a far cry from a "demand" for loyalty.
As for Flynn, the President said he was a good guy and that he hoped Comey would be able to let the investigation go. He didn't "lean" on him to do anything, during that meeting and from what I heard, Comey didn't say he did.
As far as all these investigations that are going on, I may be naive, but I can't help wonder what's the point in having that many in process at the same time. It seems like just as big a waste as all the various Congressional investigations into the Benghazi incident. It's just as unlikely that they'll come up anything, so why can't one committee do a thorough investigation and share the information with everyone else instead of wasting the time/money to carry out so many simultaneous investigations, especially, since the special counsel has been appointed and his investigation is probably the one that really counts anyway?? What am I missing?
