Face the Nation barely follows up Repuke ex-FBI/Congresscritter about specifying Drumpf

So this Brian FITZPATRICK (R-PA) moved the goalposts a bit, now saying that BEYOND the unsealing that had been whined over, NOW we still don't know, that the *real* deal that still needs to be unsealed is the Affidavit of probable cause that will specify whoever maybe-Drumpf/maybe-not and identify who gave the tip.

He went on and on about not knowing enough, waiting before jumping to conclusions, blah blah. The host Margaret BRENNAN led him through building up his credibility as an ex-FBI-something and his measuring his words about how it all might be heavy stuff, but short of how much trouble Drumpf might be in, because we just don't know!

She led him through a list of inflammatory violent events - J6, the FBI attacker - about which he agreed that the climate of polarization fostered, but she didn't ask him where these events came from - like, *COULD IT BE* from the wingnut side, gasp! He roused himself to listlessly add the Congressional baseball shooter who was more mentally impaired than ideological, to make the follow-up moot.

He has a hangdog look, basically retreated to appealing for *everybody* (no names, please) to tone down all the yammering. She finally asked whether this included Drumpf. He said "everybody."

That's as close as the Repukes get.

*** ON EDIT: But judge ye for ye-selves:

1. Affidavit is highly classified from what I've read.

And, if released, they need to redact names.

Ridiculous that FBI agents & families are gettig death threats!

People threatening officials & threatening terrofrist acts need to be locked up & kept there.

Release nonviolent drug offenders or build secure tent cities to house these terrorists.

[UTUSN]

2. Which this dude knows, so his escape hatch remains: We don't KNOW, can't finger Drumpf...

[SheltieLover]

4. Right

Doing pootin's bidding.

[justhanginon]

8. I finger trump every time I see him on TV. In fact, I think I am getting

carpal tunnel syndrome from it.

[UTUSN]

10. Hah! - picturing the finger!

[PortTack]

3. Exactly..they are now screaming to have the affidavit released because they know that they cannot

[SheltieLover]

5. These ruskie assets need to be removed from civilized society.

Jmo, of course. But, if they are not locked up, they will continue to foment violence.

[PortTack]

6. Yes ...they will

[SheltieLover]

7. Not sure how this could work within the framework of our legal system,

but something needs to be done. Jmo, again.

9. the MSM should be rebranded as corporate news

We should not let them get called liberal news simply because they do not spew fascist dogma 24-7

[gratuitous]

11. We can argue all day long about who took classified documents out of the White House

But the fact of the matter is that Brian is darned mad and while he doesn't know anything he's pretty sure everyone's to blame. Especially Democrats and not so much Republicans.

[UTUSN]

12. Hah, yeah it would be a gratuitous argument, or rather a superfluous one. But is that what "mad"

looks like on him? All the other other ones in Google images showed him really happy/smiling. He looks worn out, tired (of being up against the wall? ) . It looks like back in the '90s when the wingnuts were calling CNN "the CLINTON News Network," and Wolf (and Judy WOODRUFF, but I don't remember if she was with CNN) had THAT look, which I deemed: "Tired Liberals" because they were worn out from being under constant personal attacks.

"doesn't know anything" - I sorta think he *knows*!

13. I never watch the Sunday morning parades of Republicans.

[Kid Berwyn]

14. GZP are traitors.

The Republicans who continue the charade are exposed.

They went with Trump instead of the Constitution.

It’ll be easy to lock them up.

And fun.
