5. And they said Russia did something but never talked about what they did

I wonder if they are setting up a war with Iran...... by saying Iran is attacking US

4. But they're not talking about Obama's beat down of the Con now

and the Con has a new talking point for tomorrow.

I knew it was BS when Ratcliffe said it was aimed at hurting the Killa Con.

of 2000.


Just another desperate move by tRumpolini. Maybe he doesn't want to do the debate tomorrow night, throwing up a distraction with Iran.

15. I only caught the last two minutes of Wray's talk...

And it barely made sense. So they are saying that there's interference from Iran mostly. I think this was a bit written by DF45...

If it doesn't make sense, it's probably bullsh*t. Every trick they can think of will be employed because they have everything to lose if they don't win. This smells of desperation and I think Wray was pressured to get up and say something.

People are smarter than they hope, I think.

6. Act One

It sounds to me like Trump ordered them to have this news conference one little notice, and this feels so much like ACT ONE in a play.

9. Election interference????

That's really stretching it. Think of the hands on shit pulled by the Russians both past and present. Donnie is going to pull a war out of his ass one way or the other...be prepared! Only his base will be entertained. Only make things worse for him.😠

12. "Russia, if you're listening..." Emphasis was on Iran, BUT this does not help Dotard.

Hardly any word on Russia from the presser. Don't wanna trigger Crazy Uncle Donald…

17. Zero case to be made to have done it in prime time

No reason at all. But they did. Why? To ensure maximum exposure? Maybe. I’m skeptical.
