1. Susan Rice to replace day long attacks on Stevie Wonder Beyonce and (back to) Kanye West

"I didn't hear anything to believe that she did anything illegal," Florida Rep. Tom Rooney, a Republican helping to lead the panel's Russia invesigation, told CNN of Rice's testimony. He declined to discuss any of the contents of her classified remarks.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican who is helping lead the House investigation, told the Daily Caller "nothing that came up in her interview that led me to conclude" that she improperly unmasked the names of Trump associates or leaked it to the press.

"She was a good witness, answered all our questions," Rep. Mike Conaway, the Texas Republican now running the House Russia probe, told CNN. "I'm not aware of any reason to bring her back."

2. So she was doing her job, huh?

Well, the Republicans in Congress will certainly have something to say about that, even if it is a common practice!

Keep this in mind, friends, when you want to carp about a liberal giving conservatives a golden opportunity to complain. They'll carp and moan about anything. It doesn't matter if it's right, wrong, standard practice, devious underhanded move, or turning water into whine. Conservatives will make a federal case out of anything.

3. Trump did not try to hide it...

He acted like the President the day after the election. He paid little attention to rules or laws. He wanted a back channel to Russia, without the knowledge of the FBI or the CIA. He was the Lone Ranger.

4. Good for her

5. Isn't this pretty damning evidence?

Straight from the former National Security Adviser. There would be documentation to back it up, I am sure.

6. This fragment feels like it will be the fatal nail in a larger coffin: But we don't know why yet.

I remember this sachelles meeting being mentioned: Someone knows that this is going to really hurt 45- We'll probably find out eventually....Especially with Rachel getting more and more dirt on the cabal.
