More body blows to Trump and his administration
The White House was knocked on the defensive Monday ahead of its biggest week yet on Capitol Hill as F.B.I. Director James Comey confirmed the existence of an active investigation into Russia’s meddling in the presidential election, including whether there was any coordination with now-President Donald Trump’s team.
In another blow to Trump, Comey and National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers also publicly refuted his unsubstantiated claims on Twitter that President Barack Obama had ordered a wiretap of Trump Tower phones. The leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees had said last week that Trump’s allegations were untrue.
“I have no information that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the FBI,” Comey said.
The White House scrambled to contain the fallout, deploying two simultaneous war rooms, according to two people familiar with the arrangement, one in the Executive Office Building to monitor the Comey hearing and another satellite war room in the Senate offices to keep tabs on Gorsuch.
But any hopes in the West Wing for a split-screen day were dashed with the revelation of an active probe into campaign associates of the president. At the White House, televisions in the press offices played the Comey hearing as it ran live on all the cable networks.
“I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counter-intelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election,” Comey said, “And that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government.”
Comey said the probe will “include an assessment of whether any crimes were committed.”
FBI’s Trump-Russia probe knocks White House on its heels
IMO, Comey can no more be trusted than the proverbial fox in the hen house.
Or that Bill and Loretta were talking about grandkids when their planes just by chance happen to run into each other at the Phoenix airport can be believed.
Expect some "highly suspicious" evidence to come out of the "investigation".
Classified of course so that it or it's originator can be allowed to be seen and/or revealed.
Expect an impeachment to be hatched from this serpents egg which IN MOST PROBABILITY will fail in the house.
However if it does not there will be mountains of unintended consequences for both sides of the aisle for an impeachment based upon fabrications.
weeping wailing... etc.
For ALL American citizens as well.
WWIII will be accelerated as our enemies and "friends" see us in our greatest hour of weakness.
Unless of course the LORD intervenes on our behalf.
Yes I believe God intervenes for nations in this age of grace.
