CNN now reporting that SSCI leaders told Comey to work faster.

Burr and Warner urged Comey to speed up Russia inquiry; Comey asked Rosenstein for more resources. Next day, Comey fired, per @SaraMurray

1. Wanted to rush through the investigation with insufficient resources

Sounds about right, if you really do not care about the corruption/collusion as long as your party has complete control. Is anyone really surprised?

2. Or maybe they knew things were getting hairy w/ Trump because he wanted the investigation shut down.

3. That is my thought too.

4. I agree somewhat that was the intent

What was also revealed was Comey felt there was a lack of resources to do proper investigations in the given time period. If there truly are the reported over 20 sealed indictments, multiple grand jury seatings, etc., the scope of this investigation is larger than the resources provided. We already know far fewer staff were devoted to the congressional hearings on the subject than to the multiple partisan hearings on Hillary's email server and Benghazi.

5. Warner is a Democrat. If he wanted the

investigation sped up, there's a reason.

6. I know Warner is a Democrat, the asking for extra funds/resources jumped out at me though

I think the scope of the FBI investigation was not what the GOP intended

7. Oh I agree. It probably surprises everybody.

Trump'sbeen laundering money since at least the 90's , maybe even earlier. Sherrod Brown said that what R's say in public about Trump and whAt they're saying behind closed doors are two completely different things . I hope they find some integrity.
