Is it wrong to think that Trump has been sitting on nominating an FBI director just to drop it right now to deflect the media? Edit: it's starting, Burr is doing intros

The NSA guys are denying Trump ever told them to downplay or inhibit the investigation. And also taking the, "I cannot address this in a public session." The committee congressmen are pissed. I have a big feeling this, and Comey's testimony are going to be a nothingfart.

Yeah they all sound quite defensive about being made into political hay w/r/t the questioning that's happening so far. Ron Wyden needs to shut the gently caress up. His disposition has me liking him less than the guys defending Trump
