17. The FBI Director is another "Russian" plant, too. Unfortunately, he snowed them. Incl. Democrats.

His firm represented Russians connected to the govt, and now he's in charge of the FBI's Russian investigation.

The Senators asked him what he'd say to those who got a call from Russians with dirt on opponent. I heard Senators restate his answer to say that he would tell them to call the FBI. But that is not what he said. You have to listen closely to these shifty people. He said, after being asked several times by Lindsay Graham and pushed on it, he finally said reluctantly that "that is something that the FBI would want to know about." Sounds similar, but it's not the same thing.

I can't believe they confirmed that guy. He must have a lot of friends in the Senate. He certainly is a friend of Trump's....and his firm represented big Russian clients connected to the Russian govt. Duh.

I would never have confirmed that man. Can't we get someone in these positions w/o connections to the Russians and a bff to Trump?
