We Have a Date!
The first public hearing in the House on Russia’s meddling in US elections will be March 20, Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said Monday.
Nunes said he has invited FBI Director James Comey and National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers, as well as former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Attorney General Sally Yates, to testify.
Got popcorn?
Whitewash, liquid, in RR tankcar quantities…
1Hell, hear that the Rethugs have a whitewash repository, near DeeCee, like the US’ multi-billion barrel “Strategic Petroleum Reserve” underground saltdomes in TX/LA.
The “IOKIYAR Whitewash Strategic Reserve”. Look it up…
Sessions sent an interesting note to Sen Franken clarifying the lie he told under oath. Only this time he denied he admitted what he admitted under oath so he lied again.
2The only date that will truly matter is the one with a special investigator.
3Saw a video of the Senate Judiciary Committee where Grassley hammered on Franken for doing a “gotcha” on poor old Jefferson Beauregard Sessions at the hearing. Franken fought back. The note from Jeff to Al only vindicates what Al told old Grassley in front of everyone. By the way, I am delighted to hear that Sally Yates is going to be giving some testimony. I still think she should run for Prez in 2020.
4It will be interesting to see Nunes and the Rethugs squirm.
5OMG Trump’s terror tweets alone will be Delirium Gold.
Let the ‘Lies and Blame the Liberals’ begin!
6The only gotcha Grassley watches for is him getting cornered by iowa junior sinator and former KGB agent Ivana Kuturnutzov and her castrating scalpel.
Sally Yates needs to be in government some more.
Nunes and others should be made to squirm, too.
7I guess I’m going to have to take up knitting again.
8Okay, so Rachel Maddow needs help watching out for umbrella carrying folks.
9We are going to see Cheeto Jesus totally become unraveled after they come back with an All-Clear for Obama, because it will show how delusional CJ really is to Americans. All Repug toadies (like Ryan) will get splashed with icky orange stink after he finally blows up.
10But…How much can the people in the know say in public without compromising “methods and people”?
11I don’t think it will be a whitewash, exactly. I’m sure they will find that Obama and Clinton are 100% guilty.
12I said it, didn’t I say it? Popcorn futures through the roof!
Maybe I should invest in Twitter as well?
13Why do I have the feeling that this will accomplish nothing? I see in the future a zillion hearings on Obama wiretapping akin to the zillion we had on Benghazi and private e-mail servers. All paid for by us hapless taxpayers. Until the Republican varmints in Congress grow some spines (never), and uncover some deeply buried ethics (never), Trump will get away with all of it. He’s our current version of Teflon president. They’re all in such orgasmic euphoria about having their own kind in charge of 2 of the 3 branches of government, they will never risk pissing off Trump’s loyal voters, as they’ll need them for their own re-elections.
14And weren’t we all not long ago villifying Comey for his highly questionable actions toward the end of the campaign? And now we should trust him to launch a fair and righteous investigation?
15“Invited” is the operable word. Nunez was on the DT’s transition team. I doubt Comey or any current office holder will agree to an appearance before that panel, especially while their investigations are on-going.
That said, if almost any of Rachel Maddow’s allegations over the last week are true, then I’d bet DT is a gone goose. Patience may be the newest operable word.
16We may have a date, but I’m pretty sure no one is getting to first base.
17Hey Madame LaMarge, be sure and knit Hair Furor’s name into your scarf in his favorite gold-but if you only have dayglo cheeto orange, that would also do nicely!
18That will require going to the yarn store again since I periodically decide that I’ll never knit again and give away most of my yarn. But gold and orange, and red to signify his tie, would be a lovely combination–oh, and pinkish red for his face. I don’t know if I can stand to think that long about him. Anyone have the size of his head handy? Sneak in with a tape measure and see how many inches long we need. Or maybe knit a picture of him so size is irrelevant….Y’all want to get together and have a knitting party? We can stand on street corners and knit and make people curious. We can call ourselves the re-SISTERS.
