It's party over country for them.

Grassley is garbage, and so is Burr. Neither Feinstein nor Warner should give an inch to those traitors.

6. I'd gotten the impression that Burr was actually working well with Warner... did I miss something?

I thought the Senate investigation was actually responsible and that it was the House investigation that was a joke.

FEINSTEIN puts her neck out to vouch for the Trump-Russia dossier: "Not a single revelation in the Steele dossier has been refuted," she said in a new statement blasting Grassley's criminal referral of Steele.

8. Remember the look on Sen. Feinstein's face when she came out of a classified briefing?

SHe looked beyond freaked out. Grassley just stared at his shoes and couldn't speak.

She apologized to the reporters that she couldn't tell them anything.
She told them she felt for them because they had been standing and waiting for so long and their backs must ache.

Senator Feinstein KNOWS what shit is coming down. She has SEEN it.

over to the corner for a L O N G timeout until he thinks he can behave and play well with others.

learned about this he was shocked and wanted to get to the bottom of it all. Since then, someone got to him. Either they have something really dirty on him or he got lots of dirty money. Maybe he didn't even realize how much dirty money at the time but now that he knows, he can't afford to be found out. Whatever it is, he's terrified. Same for Graham. They are being blackmailed.

...the question: payoffs or blackmail... or both? And yes, the about-faces for Graham and Grassley lead me to believe both are being blackmailed.

That the GOP is now stooping to smear a consummate professional like Mr. Steele who was only acting out of concern for the sanctity of our Elections, is beyond disgusting.
