Why haven't we heard from Nunes and the rethugs who saw the evidence today?

[kimbutgar]

I guess they are working on talking points tonight.

Or the evidence has them scared?

Mmmmm

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

1. They're each

waiting for the other one. Then they'll all start talking. Isn't this about when they get on that train up to the sacred outpost up in the mountains or whatever. The last time they went there two civilians died getting hit in a dump truck by the train. Back after the election, thats where Paul Ryan ordered everyone to keep quiet about the campaign donations and election oddities(?). It's on film.

[brush]

13. They're getting their story together.

They'll all be in lockstep on the Sunday shows with the same talking points.

[IADEMO2004]

2. Nunes is working on his alabi

Nunes and Trump cellmates is my dream.

[Chickensoup]

3. They need a little time to spin

lies and fake news. It is not as easy
as you think .

[ooky]

14. Especially since a democrat was in their meeting.

Nunes had tried very hard to keep dems out. Since Schiff was in the same meeting makes it harder for Nunes to spin lies about it.

[SWBTATTReg]

27. This doesn't stop them...remember RUMP's shi*ho*e comments about Africa? They all ...

lied about this idiotic comment not being made but it was. RUMP also was caught on tape talking about assaulting a woman's private parts (access Hollywood), and they denied it and/or attributed it as 'shower room talk'.

[defacto7]

4. They need time to spell it all out to Trump

so he can understand. You know, finger puppets and the like.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

17. Haha..made me laugh out loud, startled my sleeping dog!

[Iahotdog]

5. Takes time to work up a good conspiracy theory

Especially from that pack of idiots.

[kimbutgar]

6. I hope they read devastating news exposing the awful truth the election was contrived to be

In his favor by Russia.

[janx]

7. I agree that they need time to spin.

There is no evidence of this conspiracy theory, obviously. It is a great embarrassment to them.

[struggle4progress]

8. If DOJ was smart, the bums didn't learn much of anything the bums didn't already know:

DOJ just told a story any idiot could understand and pointed out some questions any idiot would want answered

The FBU expressed its sincere desire to avoid any politically-motivated taint to their investigation, promised to investigate any evidence supplied suggesting that any investigator was politically-motivated, emphasized their dedication to professionalism, and pointed out the importance of playing by the long-standing rules, including not publicizing partial results from an on-going and incomplete inquiry

Unlike the Trumpeteers, they probably went to the meeting thoroughly prepared and didn't shoot from the hip or go off half-cocked

[shraby]

9. That was a classified meeting. If they blab, they are in trouble.

[BigmanPigman]

11. They are already in trouble and don't give a shit

because they are shitheads. They know Mueller has the goods on them too. They will continue to delay/distract/demean the investigation until they hear the FBI knock on their bedroom doors like Manafort. They are scrambling and will not stop since they have nothing to lose...their time is very limited and they will pull every trick in the book to escape Mueller and justice for their crimes/$$$$/treason.

[RainCaster]

10. They are dreaming up shit they can say, but they will trial it on Faux

If the staff on Faux not News buys into that crap, they know they can sell that to "his base". As long as they have his base, the GOP will be docile.

[kentuck]

12. Before the briefing, I assumed they would be very quite if they received any disturbing evidence ...

If there was just a hint of someone actually spying on the Trump campaign, we would have already heard about it. They may have received more evidence today than they imagined? It may take a little while to process the information? If they are not all over the TV tomorrow, then something is up, I think?

[mitch96]

15. "rethugs saw the evidence today"

No comment? Maybe,just maybe there was nothing there of merit.. Is it possible the DOJ did not show their cards today? Just enough info to prove there was nothing there but there really is..
The FBI just got caught fibbing about the amount of phones they could not crack b/c of "unlock able" phone software.... so they aren't all boyscouts...

[cntrfthrs]

16. because there was no spy...

[nevergiveup]

18. Sleepover at the White House tonight.

[Grammy23]

19. Maybe they let them know just enough to know they are all in a world of sh*t.

Their silence following the meeting is very telling. If they got anything worth repeating (classified or not) they’d have tripped over their feet racing to the microphones. Perhaps someone also put a bug in their ear that they are all on the fast track to Mueller’s target list.

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall where they met.

Can’t wait to see what tRump gags up on twitter tomorrow morning. It should be a beaut.

[MyOwnPeace]

29. Grammy,

I'm thinking along the same line - I can hear them meeting now:

"Uh-oh, there's something wrong here......
........we're in deep shit!"

[Brother Buzz]

20. Because their names kept popping up in the evidence to many times today

And they're scared because all the good defense attorneys are not returning their telephone calls.

[safeinOhio]

21. I heard trump say he hopes it's not true.

He got his hope.

[UCmeNdc]

22. They have to organize their lies.

They will tell their version of the event once they coordinate their lies with the real facts to make a belivable story.

[Vinca]

23. They have to tell Don first.

[sunonmars]

24. because they didn't get what they wanted.

[HopeAgain]

28. This is the answer we are all hoping for

I think it may be right.

[JI7]

25. He needs to get it from Trump who needs to get it from Hannity

Or other fox idiot.

[MFM008]

26. Because

There's no THERE there.

[WhiteTara]

30. They're gathering their go bags

and planning their escape before Mueller indicts them.

[samnsara]

31. wouldnt it be nice if one of the repugs left the mtg...

...saying 'holy crap trump really IS guilty!'

[C_U_L8R]

32. Seems McConnell may have realized that

Frankly, I think they all know Trump is guilty as fuck and are just playing the clock to get as much as they can while the getting is still good.

[librechik]

33. + 100

[BSdetect]

34. They may try the old "they did not tell us enough" BS
