finished reading the transcript of the Nunes hearing.
want to hurt many many people. Nunes isn't actually doing much more than being a chairman in the meeting, but most of the talking (from Democrats) falls on deaf ears. it's obvious what this is - we'll watch it play out like the Iraq War narrative did.

xp - yeah, except the great majority of trump supporters are like Americans in general, to whom "millions of new jobs" has approximately the same meaning as "more than a few new jobs". innumeracy is ascendant.

the unwillingness of editors - because let’s be honest, that’s who is ultimately assigning these angles - to see the phenomenon klion outlines is especially odd given that long and staten island are both not far from manhattan!!!!

MR. QUIGLEY: [...]When you, as the majority, conceived of doing this memo for release to the body and to the public, the preparation, the thought of doing it, the consultation of it, was any of this done after/during conversations or consultations with anyone in the White House? Did they have any idea you were doing this? Did they talk about doing this with you? Did they suggest it? Did you suggest it to them? Did you consult in deciding how to go forward with this before, during, and after this point right now? I yield.THE CHAIRMAN: I would just answer, as far as I know, no. [...]MR. QUIGLEY: Mr. Chairman, does that mean that none of the staff members that worked for the majority had any consultation, communication at all with the White House?THE CHAIRMAN: The chair is not going to entertain --MR. QUIGLEY: I yield.THE CHAIRMAN: -- a question by another member. Do any other members wish to be heard? Your time has expired.MR. QUIGLEY: Does that mean just questions you don't like or questions in general, sir?

BREAKING: Discovered late tonight that Chairman Nunes made material changes to the memo he sent to White House – changes not approved by the Committee. White House therefore reviewing a document the Committee has not approved for release. pic.twitter.com/llhQK9L7l6— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) February 1, 2018

Keep in mind, no one knows anything and nothing matters anymore anyway, but I've come across everything from rumors of Wray resigning in protest to accusations that Nunes forged Schiff's signature (?) to unnamed sources in the intelligence community ominously if enigmatically predicting that "shit is about to get real."

Not to mention that in the afore linked Times story you've got that former Trump cat Corallo explicitly stating he thought Hope Hicks was obstructing justice.
