So many hearings and investigations, yet no one is ever held responsible, fired or jailed.

This is because (1) Congress is not a law enforcement body. It is a law making body, and (2) the purpose of their hearings is supposedly "oversight," but in actuality it is political gamesmanship. Discovering truth, making it public, and holding wrongdoers to account are actually the last objectives of congressional hearings.

"California Rep. Adam Schiff may not offer much by way of substance, but give him marks for political flimflam. The ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee was so successful at ginning up fake outrage over his Republican counterpart that he successfully buried this week’s only real (and bombshell) news."

I Schiff him marks for absolutely NOTHING. I give Strassel a C- for starting her story about Schiff rather than real news. The real headline is Obama "wiretapped" Trump. Too bad no one anywhere in the media has the cojones to print it.

I assume Obama still has not returned to a a nation, any nation that has an extradition treaty with the United States? Is he still on that gay paradise island in the South Pacific?

Same liberal kook I spoke about earlier in this thread actually takes this immoral and illegal position: he HOPES Obama had Trump under surveillance, because if Trump was a Russian agent, he SHOULD be watched.

Lunacy reigns.

To sum up, Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration.

Friday dump....but grist for the mill....

'expect Sunday here at FR to be a long thread...bring popcorn.

“...Obama changed rules at the end of his administration to advance this...”

Exactly. And Obama almost certainly changed the rules at the last minute also to provide cover for the illegal sharing that had already happened as well.

Poor, poor Hillary.... She had a direct link to all of Trump's plans, conversations, maybe even his most inner thoughts if he shared them with his cohorts...

She also received all the questions (and probable the answers) to the debates before hand in a timely manner..

She had all the "MEDIA" pounding the drums 24/7 on her behalf...

She had ALL the money that China and the Arab's could provide....

AND SHE STILL LOST..!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..!! No wonder the left's heads are spinning around.....

This is why the Dims are pushing that Nunez remove himself from the House investigation - he knows what Obama was up to.

And don’t forget Obama has to be the one that put the clips on the wire and listened. If not trump lied.

Bipartisan investigation is an oxymoron. Both Nunes and Schiff are partisans. Schiff voted for Hillary and Nunes, presumably, for Trump. They both have dogs in this fight.

The GOP (the Stupid Party) buys the narrative that they must be evenhanded while the Dems (the Evil Party) makes no pretense what side they are on. Just listen to Schiff at his press conferences and read his statements. They are highly partisan unfounded attacks against Trump and his administration. No evidence has been produced that show collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. Yet, these accusations have been with us for over 8 months.

We do have evidence, however, that the Trump campaign and transition team were under surveillance by the intel community and that American names were disclosed illegally. The MSM has been reporting for months about wiretapping and intercepted communications re Trump and his team using unnamed official sources. Yet they have the chutzpah to demand that Trump provide evidence for his accusations. Trump is actually agreeing with their reporting. Checkmate.

Actually he’s correct. So the next question is why wasn’t Obama and the FBI getting wiretaps legally against trump if they thought he was in collusion with russians.

Either the fbi wasn’t doing their job or they are lying now saying there was an investigation started in July.

Schiff is a Political Hack and if I were Nunes, I wouldn’t give him the time of day.

Poor, poor Hillary....

The overflow of useless information that they are still trying to extract something from, must have been overwhelming. No wonder she had no clear message of what she was going to unleash on America. And I thought her failure was mostly due to her excessive drinking...

“Today is gonna be crazy.

It’s been crazy here on FR lately, with some number of FReepers believing that we’re sailing off the edge of Earth to waiting sea serpents.

It is frightening how corrupt our media is...They mislead when they report, and they mislead when they don’t :(

I heard the MSM still has not reported on the Maryland school rape case...

He wouldn't have a stage for his flim flam if the media didn't provide him cover and credibility - just more fake news from the media.
