This IS going to backfire on Trump and the GOP [View all]

1. The FBI did exactly what they were tasked to do.
Trump will have a lot less ammo to use about them being corrupt once all his dirt is out.

2. We all know that Grassley and "fiends" stacked the deck.
Warren mentioned tonight that there was info in the FBI docs that they are not allowed to talk about - that supported the claims against Kav..
That will all come out in due time because people are not going to stop digging.

3. McConnell seriously misread the country. This isn't going to blow over.
