and therefore EVERYONE should be afraid to criticize the FBI for fear of them opening an investigation on any pretext and then leaking it to the media.

If you want to see a laughably disgraced partisan hack, we suggest that you look into the nearest mirror.

Judicial Watch is a front to launder money from GOP billionaires into false attacks on Democrats. JW has been assassinating Hillary's character for 30 years. They are a dark stain on America.

For a lot of us here, this news isn't particularly shocking. We've been following the stories, the theories, the strange and stranger coincidences. But for a large swath of the American public? Even an insinuation that Donald Trump--the man squatting in the White House--has been under a counterintelligence investigation? This news will rattle a lot of cages. Tucker Carlson is already out there claiming this is FBI payback for the criticism they've been under. I fully expect a series of rage tweets tomorrow morning.

But this is only the beginning. I suspect the 'news' will deliberately be released in a slow but ever mounting flow to give the electorate a chance to absorb the real gravity of the situation. Because to consider that the so-called POTUS is an agent of a foreign adversary is a pretty gargantuan leap, unless you've been following the news, the documents, the legal testimony, the connections, the hinky deals, the money, the contradictions, etc.

Not everyone has been doing that.

As for the right-wing reaction? They'll fight it to the bitter end, until the evidence is so overwhelming that even their smarmy voices are drowned out.

It's going to get really, really ugly. But this is the beginning of the end for Trumpski and his treasonous crew

Realization must be setting in that they are fighting for a lost cause. Whether they believe any of it or not they surely must realize that drumpf is not going to survive this year.

It's mostly mealy-mouth crap, where the ONLY one making strong statements against Trump in the article ... is ... wait for it ... LISA PAGE!

Notice how there's NO MENTION of all the things in the Steele Dossier that've proven true ... nope ... the WHOLE THING is still just 'unsubstantiated'.

You know what, f*** this article, it's Right-Wing/Trump-Favoring bullshit if you ask me.

Oh, and I'm damn close to saying FUCK the NYT at this point, frankly.
