Congressional officials were told by FBI Director James Comey before he was fired that there are just a small number of Americans who are targets of the criminal or counterintelligence probes involving Russia and that none were President Trump or his top aides, Circa has confirmed.
Behind closed doors, Comey provided specific updates on about a half dozen or less targeted US citizens who were the focus of either counterintelligence probes or criminal investigations emanating from the Russia election scandal, sources familiar with the intelligence told Circa.
"President Trump is not a target, nor is any senior government official if Comey's account is correct."-Congressional Official
"President Trump is not a target nor is any senior government official if Comey's account is correct," one source said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because that person was not authorized to comment.

While the counterintelligence probe is focused is on whether any American was compromised by Russian spies, knowingly or unwittingly, the criminal issues are mostly focused on possible crimes not directly related to the core question of collusions with Russia, such as tax, lobbying or money laundering laws, the sources said.
"As had been stated publicly many times the FBI made clear it does not yet have proof of any criminal collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia or any proof voting ballots were changed. These probes can go on for a long time and things can change, but right now that is what is the state (of things)," said a source.
The sources spoke as Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) took the extraordinary step of going to the Senate Judiciary open hearing Thursday to say that he had been provided no evidence to date in classified briefings that Trump was a target.
"Shortly after Director Comey briefed us, I tweeted that he should be transparent. I said he should tell the public what he told Senator Feinstein and me about whether the FBI is or is not investigating the President," said Grassley.
"On Tuesday, the President’s letter said that Director Comey told him he was not under investigation. Senator Feinstein and I heard nothing that contradicted the President’s statement."
His statement was backed up by his Democratic counterpart on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dianne Feinstein (D- CA).
NO. Grassley and Feinstein delivered the narrative.
I thought Sarah H. Sanders did a good job of dealing with those idiots. She pointed out the silliness of their questions, and stood up for the facts.
I loved it when she read from a list, the comments of all the Dems calling for Comey’s head back when. These reporters don’t get it.
Also loved it when she said they were all obsessed with process. They are wasting all of our time with this endless focus on a non-story.
So, we must see things differently. I would hate to have to stand before those ignoramuses, and deal with their endless efforts to play “gotcha”. I like her calm demeanor in spite of such provocation.
She was very composed. I like how she smiles and laughs at their stupidity. Major Garrett used to be pretty fair when at Fox, but now he’s a shrieking teenage girl like all the rest of them.
And the Big Mac saw, and did quake and tremble before Big Maw. For it was of a great size, and did engulf both seas and stars within it...
She did very well. I like her better than Sean. : (
Is this ‘Auntie Maxine” heard this - - she was furious with Comey. He wasn’t playing into her IMPEACH_IMPEACH agenda.
Just when does she get brought up short for her deliberate, 24/7 STATED goal to impeach this President - with NO evidence of any impeachable offense.
Doesn’t that come under intent to overthrow a sitting president?

Aunti Maxine needs three meals a day - of bread and water and a pretty orange jumpsuit

The DNC didnt hand over their server because they knew who the hacker was..and his name was Seth Rich, murdered Bernie Sanders supporter Seth Rich..he handed over the DNC emails to Wikileaks before he was killed just in case something happened to him..and the only “Collusion” took place between the media and the Clinton campaign..they took off their journalist hat a long time ago and become activists for the Clinton Campaign
The way Senator Murray questioned McCabe this morning, it left the impression that Trump lied in his letter to Comey in that he would be informed whether he was under investigation or not. McCabe said people are not informed about that.>>>
He said it wasn’t ‘policy’ to inform one under investigation, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t part with that policy, privately.
I like her body language, too. She shows only a small case of nerves, but on substance she’s been lost.
I’m not even saying she is at fault.
Trump left her out of the loop, and she was willing to go out there yesterday and prove it. No pro does that. That’s the difference between a pro and a rookie, who is on a learning curve.
Sarah is going to be very good some day, but the White House is in grave trouble and it’s no place for *practicing* extemporaneous debate. They need to bring in a team of professional marketeers able to say nothing before they know wth they’re talking about and to say it with panasch.
Both institutional branches need help, desperately, from some messaging pros.
The truth does not matter to dimocrats. They will continue, as they always do, to beat a dead horse until it is a pile of mash on the road. Like a skunk run over by 50 18-wheelers, they will just keep running over the skunk hoping that something different comes out of the smashed skunk besides blood and guts. The truth does not matter to the left. They will talk, talk, talk, yell, scream, acts as if the world is coming to an end, but the TRUTH DOES NOT MATTER. I very seriously doubt that Any dimocrat could spell the word.

Looks like Barrack Hussein Obama. The fly below the mouth turned into a mole.
Solid post
Dumber than a box of rocks, Maxine Waters is!
On a related note, Newsweek published an article that says that a Russian hacker arrested in the Czech Republic on unrelated charges claims that the FBI approached him and offered him cash, amnesty and US citizenship if he would (falsely) testify that he hacked the DNC, Clinton, etc. on behalf of Putin and Trump.
If true, this means that the FBI was trying to concoct this nonsense, and more heads need to roll.

He has said it is BS a million times, but the Dems & media keep up the Russia Russia Russia narrative. Even after Comey made his statement. They know it's not true, but they have nothing else to try to derail the Trump Train.
Of course, this will not stop the dishonest, unethical, anything-to-win Dems from continuing to push the lie that Trump is under investigation for “colluding with the Russians.” It’s one of their key talking points, even though no one in a position to know has ever at any point claimed that. They don’t let having zero proof stop them from making their accusations, because they know millions of Americans won’t take the time out to look up whether what they say is in any way true.
CNN is an arm of the DNC. Why would they report on something that goes against their talking points? Their goal is absolutely not to get the facts out.
No hijack....What you said...It was the biggest political upset in U.S. history. Both parties and everyone outside Middle America was/is against him, including the democrat media.
