They are all compromised.

The CIA and the National Intelligence Directors and the acting FBI Director are all reporting to Donald Trump. They are nothing more than political hacks. If they were not sycophants, they would not be in their present positions.

Pompeo at CIA, NI Dan Coats, and McCabe, acting FBI Director, do not offer a lot of assurance that they have one independent bone in their bodies. Trump owns them.

We should wait and see if he is ready to appoint special prosecutor? He is meeting with Senate Intel Committee at this moment. He may realize how he was used by Trump and Sessions?

Probably too much to hope for from his meeting today with Burr and Warner.

In my opinion. He is pulling the wool over a lot of eyes.

the kool aid for a little while so he might be still in control of his conscience and will do his duty as a Citizen.

Something seems afoot. Wishful thinking here, but ...

If, as rumored, there are grand jury indictments under seal, then could we be seeing preparations for their release?

Who knows. But we will know a lot more soon.

Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe on Thursday said the bureau’s probe of Russia’s attempts to meddle in the United States presidential election is “highly significant,” despite claims by the White House that it is one of the “smallest things” the FBI is currently handling.

“Sir, we consider it to be a highly significant investigation,” McCabe told Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) when asked about the White House’s comments on the investigation.

And ranking members of the Senate Intelligence Committee left the hearing for a meeting with Rosenstein.

I don't think we're in a position to know what the hell is going on with anyone at this point. Curiouser and curiouser!

smoke without any fire. Add in the fact that Trump is not acting like an innocent man - and it's only a matter of time before even the sycophants will crumble.

My guess - Junior's got a wad of cash - offering to open up some Cayman accounts for people.
