    unbelievable.

    In an apparent attempt to protect Putin from the CIA, Peter King wants to go after our own CIA!

    You can not make this stuff up!

    I now think our democracy might seriously be in trouble - that is, Trump isn't going to be president for 4 years, or 8 years. He plans to rule us for the rest of his life sort of thing - that's where this is heading.

    Those cherubs over at the CIA. How could anyone think they were ever up to anything?

    Trump wants to bring back feudalism... He will change his title to 'King'.

    Sweet Lou got owned again with his over-the-top antics and failing to see his own partys hypocrisy.

    I don't really take anything King says seriously. People somehow elected him a U.S. rep. though so it bothers me to read about nonsense like this. It diverts attention from more important issues and serves to further harden people in their camps. Right now there's some wingnut in Long Island saying, "That's my guy!" Republicans have to pander to these people to get votes.

    It'd be nice if he was in Alex Jones position and Jones was some lunatic on the streets of Austin, but we live in a topsy-turvy world.

    I read that. Unless I missed it, I didn't see any call for investigation into the FBI director. So unless at least one Democrat lawmaker or government officials actually called for an investigation into the FBI director, this is uniquely a Republican thing, which doesn't surprise. More than politic as usual is getting quite common and this is so far another instance of it, unless I'm mistaken and there was a call to investigate the FBI director.

    I also knew this comparison between the two directors were coming up sooner or later. It's not a fair comparison. The CIA assessment is about Russia, not Trump and was done after the election once they have more information to make it. The CIA didn't said Trump is involved in anyway with the Russian activities. How is that even consider a "hit job" on Trump? The FBI letter is directly about Clinton's emails, against the DOJ rules, against tradition and precedent. To add - and the FBI director got criticized by both sides of the political spectrum.

    Oh well, as long as its being reported by that paragon of fair and balanced journalism "Politico" it MUST be correct. (sarcasm)

    Here's the interview he did on "This Week":



    What he says doesn't sound outrageous to me.

    Sam you're acting like one of my best friends right now lol. In our group text I get no less than 5 texts a day from him freaking out about every little thing that happens with Trump.

    Hmmm, covert agency involved in assassinations and coup-de-tats in almost every other country on earth needs to be investigated? Nah bro, they'd never do anything shady inside this country. *sarcasm*

    I see the liberal meltdown is still in full swing. It would be sad if it wasn't just so dang funny.

    You know what's really funny? That you think people being concerned about our leadership trusting Russia more than the CIA is so dang funny.

    8 years of obama derangement syndrome from you and yours, only fitting they give you at least 4 years of Trump derangement syndrome.

    He's crazy, I'm just praying he doesn't procreate is all. That's how low the bar is for him.
