The honest question is whether you believe that the leak is from the intelligence community. If you do why is that more plausible than say from Yates whom we already know is disgruntled and knew of the calls and subsequent lies. The next issue are the lies straight from Flynn's mouth and Trump not moving on said lies.

NBC's Pete Williams reports (as we have all along) that investigators have found no collusion between Trump campaign and contacts in Russia.

So are we outraged that this information was made up or that as Trump literally said himself illegally spread? I can't keep track of these bizarre excuses we are making for these morons.

I'm sure there are people who think this is concrete evidence of collusion. The rest of us who actually read beyond the headlines know that it really is just a reason to investigate whether collusion took place. Expecting people to withhold concern/outrage until there is sound evidence of collusion is asking for extraordinary patience. The possibility of collusion is an enormous scandal in and of itself.

CNN: FBI not expected to file changes against Flynn. He did not hide the truth. He was not intentionally misleading.

Pluse Russian bitches are hawt!!

This is obviously an opinion piece, but as a fan of the Adam Carolla show this amuses me:

Here's an opinion that apparently appeared in the Cincinnati paper.

http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opin...rump/97893248/

In his press conference continues to call out the media for pushing "fake news," especially CNN.
Why doesn't a Sunday reporter ask one of his representatives to provide just one instance of CNN airing "fake news?"

Here's some CNN fake "news".

That was a pretty awful opinion piece by the way.
