    Sounds like Nunes has shared info with the White House before it was shared in committee. That has caused Schiff to talk about an independent investigation. Nunes has really fucked this up, because people aren't buying his bullshit anymore. First he was more concerned about the leaks than the Trump/Russia collusion. Now he's actively subverting the process. And now Schiff is saying that the evidence they've seen for the collusion goes beyond circumstantial: "I don’t want to go into specifics, but I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation." Fuck Trump.

    This isn't subverting the process. If the President and/or his people are being illegally unmasked by the Obama admin and/or Obama admin holdovers to create public chaos then there are national security implications and the President needs to know immediately. There is no rule that info has to go to Schiff first. The other shoe is dropping.

    The shoe is dropping at this moment on CNN. They are essentially confirming that the Trump team was being investigating for coordinating with the Russians, possibly on the release of the DNC emails. Nunes was technically right and now we know why he was rushing to the WH.

    I listen to morning joe actually on youtube haha.

    Scarborough is playing up american politics like it's wrestling. Should have dramatic music under everything he says.

    Cringey dude. And he and that woman, Mika, is playing their parts. She always has to be all worried about "How can we... have a president who does things like this?" while Joe is all "Let me tell you people how it works in Wahsington, because I was there fighting Bill Clinton in 94 and I know everyone".

    But, still nice to have on while working.

    Shoes dropping everywhere! Just saw Schiff...lot of hinting but not "confirming". So far as vague as Nunes. It's a total mud fight and Trump loves mud fights!

    Whatever.. this is not good for Trump no matter how you think it shakes out. Battling an Obama legacy would only be the goal of an idiot president. You don't bring your predecessor up all the time. That makes no sense.

    Second, Schiff is not saying anything specific because he considers it classified. Nunes may have released classified information today. Ron Wyden (D-WA, Senate IC) basically said so. What Schiff said today which is VERY different than even Sunday, is that there is MORE than just circumstantial evidence. On Sunday he stressed that it was just circumstantial. He learned something different today.

    I agree. It makes it more likely that Nunes will have to agree to an independent prosecutor because he may have to recuse himself. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the juice was not worth the squeeze, that's for sure.

    Yup. I personally don't think that was his intention. I think he was a good little lap dog and ran to his master to get a treat. Major fuck-up.

    Spin what? That it's "a major fuck-up"? Says who? What it sounds like is mass panic that Nunes has the goods. If he in fact has the goods then there will be nothing to spin. The evidence will speak for itself.

    It is amazing how none of you contemplate that Trump's surveillance charge was true and that he has evidence to prove it. I am able to contemplate that he is full of shit yet most of you are completely unable to digest the opposite. There is just zero room for that possibility in your partisan brains. If Trump/Nunes are correct then it blows the narrative apart. 3D chess indeed.

    "The leaks are real but the news is fake" may have been the warning.

    You still think this is a potential win, that Trump and the gang are playing 3D chess.

    You need to start thinking of this like checkers. I will give you time, you can figure it out.

    We have now had headlines declaring "no wire tapping" and are about to get evidence of surveillance. It is a win when the #resistance loses. Follow that with the prosecution of leakers which Comey said he takes very seriously and that those who did so are subject to 10 years in prison. This whole thing could be one massive counter intelligence operation to nail the law breakers. Abusing intelligence collection is a crime. 3D chess.

    Do you ever stop to think about the why? If Obama ordered this or knew about it, as trump claimed-sick guy tweet, why wouldn't it have been leaked back when it could have helped Clinton? Because it's spin by the guilty as the coverup begins. Just like Nixon blaming the press for his misdeeds, trump is blaming Obama for his crimes being exposed. Sessions lied. Flynn lied. Whistleblower or leaker? Remember, Obama declassified or classified and shared intelligence in a manner so as to preserve evidence while allowing the investigations to continue. He didn't politicize it. Obama's moral fiber must eat your innards. Particularly after eight years of a mostly scandal free administration. Hillary or Obama in jail yet, comrade?

    I think Nunes fucked Trump today. And Trump and others are too stupid to understand that. 3D chess indeed.

    I agree. It makes it more likely that Nunes will have to agree to an independent prosecutor because he may have to recuse himself. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the juice was not worth the squeeze, that's for sure.
    Yup. I personally don't think that was his intention. I think he was a good little lap dog and ran to his master to get a treat. Major fuck-up.

    BS, how are you going to spin this? It's OK, you can have the usual day or 2 to come up with the spin.
    Spin what? That it's "a major fuck-up"? Says who? What it sounds like is mass panic that Nunes has the goods. If he in fact has the goods then there will be nothing to spin. The evidence will speak for itself.
    You still think this is a potential win, that Trump and the gang are playing 3D chess.

    You need to start thinking of this like checkers. I will give you time, you can figure it out.
    We have now had headlines declaring "no wire tapping" and are about to get evidence of surveillance. It is a win when the #resistance loses. Follow that with the prosecution of leakers which Comey said he takes very seriously and that those who did so are subject to 10 years in prison. This whole thing could be one massive counter intelligence operation to nail the law breakers. Abusing intelligence collection is a crime. 3D chess.
    This is already a lost issue for Trump. Picking a fight with the former president makes no strategic sense, unless you are trying to create a distraction. You are trying to pass your budget, get Gorsuch approved and pass the health care bill which is taking a lot of political capital. Why in the world does this make sense for Trump?

    I'm not even going to remind you that the tweet was false on its face... he used the words "illegal" and "Obama". Comey has said that no such thing is true. Nunes even said today that it was incidental and legal. Why is accuracy and precision suddenly so difficult for you in the last 60 days?

    Sounds like Nunes has shared info with the White House before it was shared in committee. That has caused Schiff to talk about an independent investigation. Nunes has really fucked this up, because people aren't buying his bullshit anymore. First he was more concerned about the leaks than the Trump/Russia collusion. Now he's actively subverting the process. And now Schiff is saying that the evidence they've seen for the collusion goes beyond circumstantial: "I don’t want to go into specifics, but I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation." Fuck Trump.

    This isn't subverting the process. If the President and/or his people are being illegally unmasked by the Obama admin and/or Obama admin holdovers to create public chaos then there are national security implications and the President needs to know immediately. There is no rule that info has to go to Schiff first. The other shoe is dropping.
    There's nothing illegal about unmasking.
    There is something illegal about leaking, which is technically what Nunes did today.

    If you want to get technical about it ...

    At any rate, this is the supposed head of an investigation informing the chief suspect in that investigation of what might be coming down the pike before even informing other members of the investigative team. Not a good look, and will almost certainly result in an independent investigator being assigned.

    Some people have speculated Nunes pulled this stunt in order to have the albatross of an investigation taken out of his hands, while simultaneously pretending to be trying to help Trump. I don't think he's that smart, frankly.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do

    Oh yeah? He may have to recuse himself? Or else what?
    It's called political pressure and your integrity is on the line.. there's no "or else".. Did someone tell Sessions to recuse himself "or else"? No.. he bowed to political pressure.

    It is amazing how none of you contemplate that Trump's surveillance charge was true and that he has evidence to prove it. I am able to contemplate that he is full of shit yet most of you are completely unable to digest the opposite. There is just zero room for that possibility in your partisan brains. If Trump/Nunes are correct then it blows the narrative apart. 3D chess indeed.

    "The leaks are real but the news is fake" may have been the warning.
    Nobody will care if the entire trump team is a paid off front for Moscow and colluded to undermine a US Presidential election.

    You might even come around eventually
