People keep saying this and I feel it hasn't happened yet. Obviously these things take time, but everybody was talking about how the IC was going to get all out against Trump following Comey's firing and nothing has really came from it.

Enough with this bullshit comparison already!

Watergate was one single thing that required thorough investigation.
Regardless, Dems controlled both the house & senate by the time he resigned.
And if congress at that time were GOP like it is now, nothing would've happened to Nixon.

Trump is responsible for a mountain of bullshit far worse than Watergate that should've collapsed on itself by now.
The emoluments clause alone, that he's still ignoring, should've been enough to impeach, were it not for a GOP congress.
Timeline has nothing to do with it, only who controls congress.

Tit-for-tat hypocrisy doesn't really get you very far. Is there anyone that's not already convinced that Republicans are gigantic hypocrites? People know, they just don't care.

It's the closest comparison we have in modern history. Whether or not you want to believe it is up to you, but it is. The IC can still bring this to a screeching halt if they wish.

This is definitely going to generate more movement. CIA folks who've put years into cultivating that source will be out for blood.

No one's talking about Comey anymore.

Checkmate, libtards.

The Gish Gallop's going to need to be renamed the Trump Gallop, and apply not only to deluging a debate opponent with bullshit, but also with being so incompetent you create a singularity wherein nobody cares anymore.

*deadpan voice* I sure hope Congress investigates what classified information Trump sent through his insecure mouth with the same vigor that congress investigated the classified information that Clinton sent through her unsecured email server.

foxnews.com has a top story of Hillary starting a new PAC.

The Trump leaking classified info story is below Spicey owning the liberals.

And the Trump Leaking video is mostly questioning the anonymous sources and talking about how Trump is legally able to release it (it's an "art form")

It's a good thing that McMaster made the statement.

After all, the American people know that a respected general working for an incompetent Republican Administration would never sacrifice their credibility by publicly lying for their boss.

It just wouldn't happen.

I think today marks the point where I've transcended from any cycle of outrage into a pure level of unending seething fury at what is being done to our country

He never technically lied. He denied things that WaPo never even wrote about.

I'm using the term colloquially. That is, it's an intent to deceive. Dude definitely is burning down his own credibility for Trump tonight, plausible deniability or not.

What I find pretty funny is that he did this in the middle of a huge scandal over firing the guy investigating his Russian ties.

And while that's going on, he decides to just start spilling classified information to Russians

He is such an idiot

For me I've ceased to get outraged at most individual stories because it's just so tiring.

Which is probably what they want tbh

I'd have been inclined to agree 4 months ago (that is, re: "this is what they want") but at this point I just don't think they're clever enough.

I'm kind of with you on outrage fatigue too, but this and Comey last week kind of shocked me out of it.

Man. I'm so old, I remember when Republicans used to pretend to care about national security.
