1. So much to do, so little new, so much at stake.

2. Puzzling.

I really don't get what the Trumps are trying to accomplish -
or are they just loose cannons bouncing wildly around the ship.

Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia! WTF!

3. Schiff, they are lying to you, these are not the same documents.

6. This!!

I am sure what they showed nunes was about him. They put it off so long. So they could try to find something they could show as "proof" to Schiff that might justify the outrage. Hopefully nunes will see no matter what he does the WH will be holding it over him from now on out.

5. Would you trust these materials?

Serious question. If you were Schiff, would you be 100% confident that the materials the WH gave you to read were the actual, complete, materials Nunes went running to show tRump?

I know Schiff is trying to be a good sport about this, playing a rigged game. This makes me curious as to what is really going on in his mind.

8. Well, there definitely no way to confirm if they were the same files

SAD! They didn't follow protocol and invite everyone in the committees to view them. We'll never know for sure. SAD!!!

9. Nunes said along it didn't involve Russia, was legally collected, names were masked

and no evidence Obama ordered wiretapping of Trump. His only concern was that he could figure out who the masked names were and therefore if info was disseminated too widely, leakers could unmask names.

So it's nuts that he went on this wild tangent back and forth to WH and with media press conferences and canceling hearing, unless the whole thing was just a big distraction and effort to shut down the House investigation because of what was revealed in their first hearing. So WH upon Trump's orders used bribery/blackmail or some sort of strong-arm tactics to manipulate Nunes.

So there was nothing warranting all the ridiculous grandstanding and disruption of the committee's investigation and Schiff of course found that out, no surprise it was just another Trump ruse to prop up his Obama lie with his supporters and a major distraction.
