(32,611 posts)How come the press is not talking about his trip to the WH to discuss the ongoing investigation? Does he meet with drug lords and mobsters to give them an update on what the FBI has found?

(7,434 posts)Bannon has taken over two branches of government. Trumpy complies and his pleased with Bannon's advances. Sessions won't investigate or prosecute Flynn, he won't recuse himself, and he's definitely working for Trumpy's survival.
THE ENTIRE EXECUTIVE BRANCH HAS NO INTEGRITY! And the GOP in Congress is just as corrupt.
And who cares? Eh? The Dems, and especially the DWS DNC, has destroyed themselves, so they have no effective voice.
If we get out of this situation with the Constitution intact, we'll call it a miracle.

Comey secretly briefs Senate Intel Committee
Press reports meeting but no content of the discussion is available for release...
WH says they have "talked" to top intelligence who say Russia constant contact stories are false/ overstated...
Leak reveals WH contacted FBI after a meeting to get story squashed in media ... FBI refuses
WH says FBI made first contact to Priebus By phone
WH then says that the original timeline (after meeting) is actually correct
Then WH says McCabe (FBI) initiated discussion after meeting ... and Priebus naturally responded by asking if there was anything FBI could do to notify media...
Then story is leaked that WH went to Nunez & Burr to ask them to debunk story in media ... Nunes' committee was not briefed by Comey, so he has different background info & tells media what WH wants him to
Burr has been briefed... he tells media he has been in contact with WH about Russia
FBI has said nothing
The WH is feverishly trying to re-focus attention away from "constant contact with Russia"
By getting it conflated with the (separate) Flynn investigation ... and it is probably because they fear Flynn gave the Cohen Ukrainian sealed envelope to
FBI...
Since there are at least 3 separate Russia investigations going on it is in WH best interest to twist all 3 into 1 for media purposes.... that way if any 1 of 3 is not proven explicitly.. then WH can say No evidence of Russian influence... as a blanket way to delegitimize validity of any future reports regarding proof related to different Russian influence investigations....
Bottom line... until a concrete event (jail/resignation/ 25th/etc) occurs, we really won't ever know who all the players are and on which side of the truth they stand.
