so obv Nunes briefed the WH on what it already knew making it pure theatre as suspected. yeah this will go well.

time to ramp up the recusal calls. other networks haven't gotten it yet but Schiff needs to be on this like Mark Sanchez on an offensive lineman's butt

lol because of Nunes' repeat refusal to ever divulge his sources, his spokesman's reply to the NYT story a minute ago was "he will not confirm or deny" the sources, so now he's not able to actually say the story isn't credible or else he'd be going back on his word.

If there's one thing I've learned from all of this, it's that I hate tweetstorms.

Also, re the two people leaking to Nunes:

https://twitter.com/christinawilkie/status/847504180772253696

Trump personally intervened to keep one of the two Nunes leakers, 30 yr old Ezra Cohen-Watnick, in the NSC, against NSA McMaster’s advice.

Democratic Senators asking for Trump/Azerbaijan investigation:

Rubio on the hacking charges today:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/03/30/marco-rubio-was-targeted-by-russian-infowar-ex-fbi-agent-reveals.html

"In July of 2016, shortly after I announced I would seek reelection to the United States Senate, former members of my presidential campaign team, who had access to the information of my presidential campaign, were targeted by IP addresses with an unknown location within Russia," Rubio said. "That effort was unsuccessful. I would also inform the committee that within the last 24 hours, at 10:45 a.m. yesterday, a second attempt was made against former members of my presidential campaign team… again targeted from an IP address from an unknown location in Russia. That effort was also unsuccessful."

And Carter Page, still not quite getting it down right:

Oh and:

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/spicer-announces-new-information-intelligence-committees

White House press secretary Sean Spicer announced Thursday that it would invite the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees to review information discovered “in the ordinary course of business” related to a request two weeks ago.

The announcement came minutes after the New York Times reported that two White House officials provided House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) with material that purportedly showed that information related to President Donald Trump and his associates was incidentally collected by U.S. intelligence officials.

Good plan, turn an awkward situation into an opportunity to meddle with the Senate committee too.

By senior year, Comey was a double major in religion and chemistry, writing a senior thesis on theologian Reinhold Niebuhr and televangelist Jerry Falwell and on his way to the University of Chicago Law School

They both influenced MLK to some extent, so I think there's an argument to be made that Comey is basically MLK.

he could've said "Teillhard de Chardin and TV game show host Bob Barker" and it would've made as much sense

lol I was just thinking I would love to see what Comey had to say about Falwell, and then the "influenced MLK" post came up and I almost did a spit take.
