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.

Thanks for reminding me about the Trump / Rubio dinner meeting. That is interesting.

I agree about Comey. You might be right Chuckles the clown would have been on all TV shows.

Did you see the Wikileaks tweet today? Mike Pence is in Europe getting chewed out by Russia. Strange reversal of politics. Under Obama’s watch, one of CIA’s spy operations is revealed.

The reason I bring this up is that both the VP and POTUS were out of town yesterday. That concerns me as to the purpose of the untrusted Comey’s meeting and the untrusted Rubio’s tweet.

No, I did not see the wikileaks tweet.

Interesting point about both POTUS and VP out of town when the meeting took place. They will know about it now of course, but it makes the timing all the more interesting.

Odd about Rubio’tweet. Obviously he wants the world to know. I wonder why.

Putting all your comments together, it would imply that the senators are mum, because they like what’s about to happen.

In other news, Wikileaks divulged today that Obama’s CIA hacked the French election of 2012, infiltrating all French political parties and receiving almost real time information about discussions in them.

Good, I had forgotten about Yamamoto's plane being shot down.

The movie, Midway, with Charlton Heston, is a wonderful recreation of the battle as seen from both sides.

The flip side of the Hillary pic is this Trump pic taken from the Battle of Okinawa where the USS Intrepid successfully fought off kamikaze attacks.

My Dad was there at the battle as a gunner's mate aboard an LST. He said to us kids, "If anybody says he wasn't scared, he wasn't there."

I just checked the CNN link. It’s watergate . . .

Warner says he doesn’t want a partisan food fight and then CNN says the committee put in procedures to keep the White House from destroying documents.

Exactly. The RATS are against the wall, and absolutely must pounce on any tidbit they can get CNN and MSNBC to scream about in their futile attempt to keep DJT from reaching 60% approval.

They’d have FOUND a way to leak it if it was good news for their side. I only wish the descriptions of the senators had been ‘ashen’.

If they had something, wouldn’t DJT have everbody on the team in DC when it happened? And remember Rubio tweeting that wikileaks could ensnare Republicans next so don’t gloat.

Monday being a holiday, RATS would want to release what they had now, before Trump’s rallies and Presidents’ Day activities. I think the HRC uranium sale to Russia is what’s about to be publicly explored... the RATS won’t survive that.

That was a great movie.

We had a friend who was a radio gunner in the back seat of a Navy Plane during the battle of Midway.

Coming back, they saw the Yorktown in trouble and landed on another carrier.

He was still amazed at how easy pilots, guys like himself and other Navy guys came from one carrier could come/land on another carrier and step up and do their job on another carrier or ship.

However, he joined the Air Force after WWII and retired as an officer.

He said trying to find your carrier or even a back up after air to air/sea battles was very unnerving. He wanted his runways to be where they left them, not some place else.

Also, he backed up your Dad’s comments about being scared.

However, he said, once the stuff hit the fan, you and your team mates knew what to do and did it until the action was over. He said once he and his pilot took off safely, they were in the moment until they started back to the carrier. He said his worse fears came at night after the battles, when he was trying to sleep. He would get up and go find an outside deck to walk on. Those decks would be crowded with guys wanting to talk and those who didn’t. They were the greatest generation.

Seriously? Obviously not of any importance at all..... meanwhile a big story today is about Trump’s sons working on a golf course in Dubai “amid conflict of interest concerns”..... good grief...
