| FBI & NSA chiefs testify in Congress on Trump, Russia, wiretapping |
| 2017-03-21 |
| [RT] FBI and NSA directors are testifying before the House Select Committee on Intelligence concerning allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign and President Donald Trump’s claims his campaign was spied on. 20 March 2017 19:19 GMT The FBI investigation itself is creating a cloud over the sitting administration, Nunes tells Comey. Comey says he can't answer if the FBI has any evidence of any wrongdoing. "I can tell you that we don't have any evidence," he says, urging Comey to hurry with his probe and ending the hearing. 19:13 GMT Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is asking Comey (both were prosecutors once) about hearsay and newspaper articles as proof. "The system we respect would laugh you out of court" if one showed up with a newspaper article as evidence, Gowdy says. "How do you cross-examine an anonymous source? How do you cross-examine hearsay?" Skipping down to...what "people shouldn't do"...or think, or something. 19:03 GMT "Tell us why we should care about Russia's use of Americans, helping Russians destabilize our democracy?" Heck asks. "I truly believe we are a shining city on a hill," Comey answers, but cautions that people shouldn't jump to conclusions. "Now we're going to close our mouths and do our work... because the answers matter." Emphasis added. |

| #6 After all this time, all the scummy democrat party soviet press have.... Is nothing. There is no proof of anything, just an insipid merry go round of idiocy. |

| #5 FBI/NSA: We did no wrong, Trump bad! Congress/Media: Okey dokey, good enough for me. How does a society hold spies to account for illegal spying when they are the ones who find the evidence of illegal spying? |

| #4 Oh and the leaks! The only thing we know for certain out this whole freaking mess is that FBI leaks like a sieve and Comey won't even say whether or not he is investigating the leaks. This guy has a serious credibility problem. |

| #3 I like it Nero! JohnQC, all good points. I would add that nothing has been said about the Obama administration's abject failure to do anything about cyber security. They are so sanctimonious about those bad, bad Russians doing all that hacking but strangely silent about their failure to prevent it. Also, nothing was said about the DNC's abject failure to implement security measures on their email server. If it was the Russians who really did hack it you could make a case that they did us all a favor by demonstrating the gross incompetence of these people who aspire to run the country. If they can't manage an email server, how can they manage the country? |

| #2 BOY DID I JUST PISS OFF AN FBI AGENT!! Called the local FBI office and asked the agent who answered, "I have a guesyion about you Mission Statement". She said, "OK." I asked, "Based on Comey's testimony to Congress yesterday, do you serve Law and Order or the Democratic Party?" She said, "Sir this line is for reporting crime." I replied, "Sounds like a crime to me." She went BALLISTIC! I said, "Have a good day." Then wisely hung up. |

| #1 A few observations after watching the House Intelligence Committee hearing: 1.We haven’t heard much about the Clinton server, the Clinton foundation or what was found on Weiner’s computer lately. 2.No one has been prosecuted for anything during the past 8 years—it’s certainly not because there wasn’t criminality and corruption. 3.Comey is not a boyscout; he’s got some strange history. 4.Comey invoked the cloak of secrecy far too much. This would imply an on-going investigation, protecting state secrets, or jumping to conspiracy notions; cover-up and protecting those high up from prosecution. Folks, we just cannot have that much stuff that needs to be kept secret from the American people. 5. There seems to be little truth-telling in DC. 6.These hearings seem to be a kind of masturabatory activity that substitutes for getting anything useful done; except Gowdy, Nunes and a few others did a good job. 7. The American people are kept in the dark about what's going on in DC; the MSM is useless. 8.Swamp-draining is nearly impossible in DC. |
