Marx' aphorism that history repeats itself the first time as tragedy, the second as farce will be fully borne out.

3. Unfortunately, I don't think so. The FBI told him the NYT story was bullshit.

That's about as unethical as it gets. So anything Priebus said after that is sort of beside the point. That's how I see this playing out.

but I'm beginning to lose hope that anyone at the FBI will do the right thing. I fear that there are so many dirty hands in this mess - 45, Putz, Bannon, Miller, Priebus, Conjob, Eddie AND McTurtle that the FBI will not move forward. I believe all they will do is hold a threat over their heads for the next 4 years. Flynn might be the only floater flushed from the bowl. Frightening.

Plus, even if PRIEBUS is out, seems like BANNON is the beneficiary if not having been the instigator to begin with.

the FBI went to Piebus to inform him that the FBI is finding NO COLLUSION between Russia and Trump.

19. I think he did it on purpose.

There is NO way he didn't know what he was doing.

Of course, he will sing like a canary, fly away, and get his boss impeached. Just like President Pence and the Republican leadership told him to do.

His bonus awaits.

20. Not buying it - SOMEONE told him the reports were overstated.

Asking them to help downplay the media reports based on that is ???...what exactly?

I think its actually a clue as what the FBI MAY have - if anything.
