    Carlson and Hannity are 3rd-Rate Partisan Comedians (Nobody takes them seriously).

    Ingraham is a 2nd-Rate Partisan Comedian.
    But, she does a good job of pulling off the "Blonde MILF Persona", so I cut her a bit more slack when I am laughing at her Tired Partisan Shtick.

    Oh, God. Now Hillary is going to claim she had the flu when she was grossly negligent in handling top secret documents.

    Collectivist have 0 standards. They could care less about what is true. They say whatever benefits them at the time. The sad thing is watching their drones buy into every lie. Total sheep.

    Geez, this article title and content of a perfect example of bad reporting.... She's not blaming some cold on the decision to release the transcript... just on whether she should have told the equally ancient Grassley beforehand.... Titling the article as they did is just crap, which I have seen on media outlets with both left and right leanings... This one happens to be a right leaner...

    To her point, Grassley and Graham didn't give the Dems any notice on the Steele accusations, so I have no issue with her proceeding unilaterally in response.... But at least she has a bit of class to admit it wasn't necessarily the best move...

    “The innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript are part of a deeply troubling effort to undermine the investigation into potential collusion and obstruction of justice,” Ms. Feinstein said in a statement.

    The Dossier itself is misinformation... Why else would they walk back the claims of a mole.. Should we look back at the threads claiming there was a Mole and look at the replies thinking Trump was doomed?

    Uncooperative? Did you read the transcripts? He certainly wasn’t the most forthcoming. Lots of we will not answer that. I can see that as uncooperative.

    Those are valid concerns, and the lawyers for Simpson did not want it released. They said as much. It’s in the transcript.

    There was some, but again, you didn’t seem to have read the transcript. It’s only 312 pages.

    There really is a whole lot of nothing in the transcript, but gross mischaracterization? Hardly.

    so you didn't read the transcript. You seem unaware of the process. Asking questions that encroach on the agreed parameters of the questioning is perfectly acceptable and SURPRISE standard operating procedure. These agreements are negotiated all the time and even trump associates use the process. guess you didn't notice.

    He answered all of the questions that fell within those parameters. You'll not that almost the entirety of questions from republicans focused on uncovering a nefarious democratic plot and not at all on the validity of the content.

    Oh? I read the transcript. I noted the kinds of questions that he didn't answer. I see you actually didn't read it carefully.

    Simpson's reason for expressing a desire not to release the transcript was clearly stated. He and his employees had rec'd death threats and he did not want their names out in the public. He was concerned with protecting his people from malice. i guess you have missed his REPEATED calls to release the transcripts. You'll note that in the released transcript the employee names were redacted.

    He has even requested release from the congressional committee hearings. Rather an odd thing for somebody you have already convicted to do, doncha tink?

    Yes gross misrepresentations and not so subtle inferences to nefarious financial dealings. He was concise and explained the source of funds fro multiple sources over the course of the assignment. He even detailed both his own and his understanding of steele's motivations and thought processes.
