Absolutely nothing of substance is being revealed.

Typical media build up and then the actual delivery is a typical fail.

But of course on Twitter they are calling today "Day 1 Impeachment".

Nothing will come out of this but talking points for either side.

It's a sign that there wasn't anything there to begin with.

Uh, I think it's a pretty big deal that we now have public confirmation that our sitting President's campaign is under FBI investigation.


But that's just me. On this board, that seemed to be a disqualifying thing when it involved the candidate from the other party a few months ago.

And this should give Donald quite a case of the heartburn.

They would really like to see a chatty Comey, which is not happening today.

Our President has NO EVIDENCE to support his claims that a former President wiretapped him. I'd say the President being outed as a liar is significant.

That's stupid. The only reason this is a thing is due to the Democrat butt hurt.

Was it stupid when it was confirmed that Hillary was under investigation?

That's not true. They couldn't comment on more than half if the questions. We don't know what they know exactly.

Was it a fact that Hillary was running an insecure email server in her bathroom? Or did the repulicans make that up?

Did Democrats make up the connections to Russia a handful of people connected to Trump's campaign have had?

We can play this game all day. It was a big deal that Hillary was under FBI investigation while she was running for President, and it's a big deal that Trump is under FBI investigation now.

That isn't exactly true. From today's findings, there was NO EVIDENCE to support Trump's wiretapping claims.

NONE.

And when asked if a FISA was denided, what's was eve answer? Seems like a pretty big piece of evidence that can't be discussed.

Yeah, it's nothing. He confirms that there is currently an investigation into Russian Trump ties. He also confirmed that what Trump reported about surveillance has not been supported by anything they have seen. Nothing to see here .

Democrats win this regardless. Its bad optics.

Comey didn't say very much from what i can tell (I didn't watch, but did read summaries). That is a bad thing for trump b.c that means the investigation is in hot pursuit.

If there is something there, democrats tar republicans. Even if there is nothing there, the democrats scream foul nonstop. If they win in 2018, the last two years will make the benghazi investigations look like child's play.

If they lose, they still fricking scream. And try to keep the narrative on russia.

They are knowingly asking questions only an idiot would answer. This shite is super classified. All they can say is "no comment"?

These 2 guys are like baseball umps. The only thing they can do newsworthy is frick up. By saying too much.

He's not a liar. He thought it was OK to accuse Obama of wiretapping him based on Fox "news".

He's a dunce. He thought it was OK to accuse Obama of wiretapping him based on Fox "news".

This board is just incredible..
Obviously this is obviously bad for Trump and his administration. Any spinning of that is insanity.
