Mainecat Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 What were they told about the Russia Trump connection? Feinstein and Grassley grim and silent after Trump-Russia briefings with Comey Senate Intel leaders Feinstein and Grassley grim and silent after Trump-Russia briefings with Comeyhttp://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/senate-intel-leaders-feinstein-and-grassley-grim-and-silent-after-trump-russia-briefings-with-comey/ After closed door meetings with FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday, top members of the Senate Intelligence Committee looked grim and rattled and refused to divulge the contents of the meeting to reporters. At around 5 p.m. E.T. on Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) faced reporters but revealed little about their meetings with Comey. “This briefing was all on sensitive matters,” Feinstein said, “and highly classified and it’s really not anything we can answer any questions about.” Comey has been at the center of multiple controversies lately, from his decision to make a later-discredited announcement about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s email server in the days before the 2016 election, to whether or not his agency is currently investigating Donald Trump’s campaign for colluding with the Russian government.

Mainecat Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 from a post ....like I have said the Democrats are eerily quiet Have you ever been in a situation in your life where you have a suspicion that something bad has gone on, that all signs and evidence point to something bad having gone on, but before you receive definitive proof of that bad thing, it's still just theoretical and out there in the ether? And then you finally receive proof positive confirmation that what you've suspected all along is in fact the truth, and it just slams you like a huge blow? Even though you've been proven right, because of what has just been proven right is such a downer, instead of wanting to gloat, you just feel absolutely dejected because it proves the worst in people? That you'd rather be proven wrong because the truth is so much worse of a reflection of people? I honestly think the Senators in that meeting received proof positive confirmation that the person who is the sitting President of the United States colluded with a foreign power in order to influence the US presidential election. And that is horrible and that is unprecedented in this country's history because it weakens us. Our national sovereignty and independence was compromised to the core. There's no reason for Diane Feinstein to be smiling or feel smug about that. There's no reason for any of us to smile or feel smug about that. It's the truth, the utterly depressing truth. When the US House committee began to vote to start impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon following Watergate, some of the members voting had tears in their eyes as they voted yes. The tears were not for Richard Nixon. The tears were due to the gravity of the situation and the sobering truth and undertaking they were being called to carry.

Short answer, most Americans would be grim if there was something tying them together, I think people in DC are more worried about their respective parties.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted March 16, 2017 Gold Member Share Posted March 16, 2017 So then, we don't know what the subject matter is but MC is going to imply its negative towards Trump with no proof to corroborate. Got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hate for Trump is so large in the IC (deep state) no way incriminating evidence would not have been leaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
