19. I'm having a blast reading the testimony.

For me, what was a mind blower was how all this information was so simply and easily uncovered. Glenn Wilson's area of expertise is public records. He immerses himself in information that is available to any of us willing to do the work. He uncovered bits and pieces of Dotard's life here in the states and hired subcontractor Christopher Steele to do the same in Russia because that's his wheelhouse. I don't think Wilson thought he'd actually find what he ended up finding. Bottom line is that any investigative reporter could have done what he did...and they didn't. So, I agree with your post. I am floored!! First at how the MSM profoundly let us down and equally, how the majority holding power in DC is compromised beyond reason. We're in real trouble. the 2018 elections are crucial but even if we take over the House, we will not rid ourselves of the problem.

I'm not done reading the testimony yet but it is riveting. There's a lot of "there" there. Recommended reading without a doubt. The cast of characters is unbelievable. The story is just shocking IMO.

Who's responsibility would it have been to inform Comey? jalan48 Jan 2018 #11
I'm guessing whoever stopped that info moving up the chain, Volaris Jan 2018 #12
That would make sense. I'm not sure who had the power over the info within the government. jalan48 Jan 2018 #14
