In reply to the discussion: Comeys terrifying warning: Russia is coming after America and Trump doesnt care [View all]babylonsister

COMEY: Well, there was an initial briefing of our findings, and I think there was conversation there, I dont remember it exactly, where he asked questions about what we had found, and what our sources were, and what our confidence level was. But after that, I dont remember anything.
But the reason this is such a big deal is we have this big, messy, wonderful country, where we fight with each other all the time. But nobody tells us what to think, what to fight about, what to vote for, except other Americans. And thats wonderful and often painful.
But were talking about a foreign government that, using technical intrusion and lots of other methods, tried to shape the way we think, we vote, we act. That is a big deal. And people need to recognize it. Its not about Republicans or Democrats.
Theyre coming after America, which I hope we all love equally. They want to undermine our credibility in the face of the world. They think that this great experiment of ours is a threat to them, and so theyre gonna try to run it down and dirty it up as much as possible. Thats what this is about. And they will be back, because we remain as difficult as we can be with each other, we remain that shining city on the hill, and they dont like it.

THIS! TRUMP SHOWS CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT (IMHO of course). ZERO INTEREST IN DETAILS
