Here is another link. See if this works. Smile

Here it is if that one doesn't work.

Hookers. Maybe Trump played Rugby in Russia?!

M0stlyBowlingHedgehog · 07/06/2017 22:02

Ah, that one works cozie. (Phew, I'm not on some US intel banned list, not allowed to access the Senate committee notes...)

Here's what I'm getting from GOP lawmakers: most somehow haven't read Comey's testimony yet, and if they have, they're not concerned by it.

cozietoesie · 07/06/2017 22:11

Well.........I'm afraid that that link isn't to the Senate page. Grin But you will, at least, be able to read the pre-released statement.

cozietoesie · 07/06/2017 22:13

They would say that, wouldn't they, Pain?Grin

Chris Christie: Sure, Trump tried to undermine the FBI's independence, but "the people elected an outsider candidate."

OMFG....😑

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 07/06/2017 22:15

But they always surpass my expectations!

Chris Christie tells @NicolleDWallace Trump's comments to Comey were "normal New York City conversation" he didn't realize was inappropriate

cozietoesie · 07/06/2017 22:20

They're actually betting on it. Sad

Comey hearing online betting

AcrossthePond55 · 07/06/2017 22:21

They aren't concerned about Comey's testimony because they're pretty sure that none of their 'loyal constituents' (i.e. the Republicans residing in their districts) are going to be calling them and screaming 'impeachment!!' and they don't give a rat's ass about the rest of us. Trust me, I reside in a Republican district and our Congressman's office has made it pretty clear that our opinions don't count. They know that the Trumpettes will swallow Trump's inevitable tweets about 'Comey lies', 'fake news', 'Comey is sour grapes', 'no proof, I never said it'.

Orlantina · 07/06/2017 22:26

It will be weird if Trump says parts of the testimony are fake news whilst at the same time tweeting that other parts of the testimony back him up with what he said.

Tweet 1

#fakenews I never demanded loyalty. Comey is lying.

Tweet 2

Look, Comey just confirmed I was not under invesigation.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 07/06/2017 22:33

orlantina weird or inevitable?

NEW: "The president feels completely and totally vindicated," Trump's private lawyer Marc Kasowitz tells @margarettalev on Comey testimony.

Is justice Comey for Trump?
illegitimateMortificadospawn · 07/06/2017 22:37

Inevitable.

PerkingFaintly · 07/06/2017 22:41

I'm sure Kasowitz's statement is literally true. I doubt 45 understands any of the words in Comey's statement except the half-sentences he likes.

He certainly won't be able to work out what other people will see in the statement, because that would involve skills he doesn't have.

cozietoesie · 07/06/2017 22:43

It comes down, as ever, to the will of Congress.

I took a hit for the team and visited Infowars. No mention whatsoever.

Is he confirming it's all true? I don't really care how he feels about it.

PerkingFaintly · 07/06/2017 22:50

Oo-er, clean out yer cookies now, cozie.

Thanks for doing that, so we didn't have to!

Sen Burr to reporters on release of Comey testimony: "I'm sorry it took away from all of your ability to find a source to leak it to you"

Nick Penzenstadler @npenzenstadler
Transparency DOES reduce leaks, he's got a point. haha
