    All of these closed hearing are starting to become tedious. Can nobody just tell the ****ing truth and be forthcoming? Cleanse your damned souls you gutless spineless jellyfish.

    Trump said he'd testify. They should book Comey and Trump for the same hearing. Swear them in. Put that **** up on PPV and use it to pay off part of the debt. Everybody wins, right?

    Epic.

    Open hearings are political theater that do not produce much or like the Comey hearing, allow congress critters to get on their soapboxes and still produce nothing.

    Trump would have his greedy little hand out for his share of the profits.

    Or at least just take the fifth, like normal mobsters.
    At this point, it's a given that Trump and his kakistocracy are in deep coverup mode.
    They must have serious crimes to hide to act in such a cowardly way.
    Let's see if Trump follows up with actually testifying. So far, he's lied about everything else, so I won't hold my breath.

    Lol...So why are you people so afraid of nothing?
    Who the hell do you think you're kidding with this dodge?
    The turd polishing has become comical.

    Lol...He ain't going to grab much profit with just one of his greedy small hands.
    He'll need to hold a basket of deplorables with those small hands to catch any meaningful swag.

    Why do I have the distinct impression that Sessions is having sleepless nights and wishing that he had never agreed to become involved with the BLOTUS?

    So pleading the fifth now makes you equivalent to being a mobster?
    did you have that same sentiment for all those that pleaded the fifth under the Obama administration the ones that took the fifth during the IRS scandal and the Clinton Email investigation were they all like mobsters also?

    At this point if they aren't under subpoena Trump's people should tell these committees to kick rocks. This nonsense is about subversion, not the truth.

    It's time to start treating it like it is, a conspiracy theory. They've accused the President of treason, it's time to show some evidence or be dismissed as the subversive nut jobs they are.

    The BLOTUS is addicted to public attention so there is no way he would want to testify in closed session.

    The BLOTUS is also a conspiracy nut himself so you are just projecting his failings on to the Dems.

    Who exactly has accused the BLOTUS of "treason"? Please provide credible nonpartisan sources for that allegation.

    If you watched the Comey hearing, Sen. Collins asked Comey directly if Trump "had ever asked about" the investigation into Russian election interference. NO. Clearly Trump isn't at all concerned about anything Comey was investigating. The OP authored another thread, insinuating Trumps hands off approach indicated apathy, but what it establishes is that no degree of investigational "meddling" ever took place. If you listen closesly to committee members questions you can appreciate their sublime undertones. Comey crucified himself.

    Sorry you won't be getting your dopamine hit Tuesday. He shouldn't be testifying at all about an on-going investigation of this nature.

    Actually, toddy, although we almost never agree on anything, I wholeheartedly agree with you now on this! Let's get the entire narrative out there -- ALL of it, including any microscopic thing done by either Republicans or Democrats. And with all of the "story", let's have PROOF! Anything not supported by PROOF is bullshit and subsequently, thrown out! Now... would you agree with me on that...?

    You're trying to assert that the Left isn't accusing Trump of treason?

    Who do you think you're kidding?

    MSM is pulling out all the stops. Trying to insinuate there's something nefarious about Sessions sending his #2 to a meeting on appropriations? Of course those same MSM outlets are simultaneously reporting on the Intel committee hearing Sessions will attend, to address exactly those issues they're accusing him of avoiding. Sessions in fact, submitted a written REQUEST to testify. He is going to label Comey both a liar, and criminal. You can quote me.

    Patience, old chap. This isn't going to be an overnight affair. How long did Watergate go on for?

    Tedious? After only a years worth of wild accusations? Fret not. The criminal prosecutions will be very public. I anticipate huge leftist protests on the steps of the federal courthouse. Sessions is going to contradict Comeys sworn testimony. Comeys trial for perjury will be "must see TV". Let's all enjoy the show.

    Of course he will, in exactly the same way that Trump attacks anyone he disagrees with. Of course he would have to provide evidence that Comey is both a liar and a criminal. I suspect that won't be easy.
