The word "unmasking" is mentioned.
Any question regarding "leaks".

So what's the consensus on Richard Burr

Old-school Republican, tax cuts and defense spending ahoy. Not a batshit lunatic like Ted Cruz or any of the dipshits in the House, but will still protect the party until the last moment.

Did anybody catch on the MSNBC clip from a couple pages back that Comey told Sessions he didn't want to be left alone with Trump? :stonklol:

Neither did any Miss Universe contestant, what's the big deal?

Burr equivocated about fairness and trying to sound above partisan politics, Warner straight-up calling out Russia and saying the IC agrees.

Burr realized he was in trouble there when Comey said the FBI got everything it needed without content, had to go back to Clinton.

Is Burr asking these email questions as a way to ding Comey's credibility?

Basically. If they can undermine the FBI, they undermine the public's perception of the Russian ties.

It still is funny watching the 180 people have done on Comey since last November. I mean I totally get it, but it's still funny to an extent.

Edit: I'll also add that I don't think he was wrong in terms of the reason he gave.

It may be my inner intel sperg, but I've never thought he did anything politically.

Kinda weird that Comey rarely met with Obama/Bush.

You'd think the FBI Director and the President would talk a little more regularly.

Not particularly, if the FBI needs to pass something to the President, they'd pass it via the Attorney General or intelligence channels.

You don't just waltz down and talk to CID, man. If they need you, they'll get in touch with you.

I'm on a customer site today, but just from the comments in this thread it looks like it was everything we hoped for and more. Can someone give me a synopsis of what's happened so far?

Burr opening statement: Bipartisanship, EMAILS.
Warner: Uh, Russia done hosed us.
Comey statement: I'm sad about leaving the FBI, I'm glad to be here, Trump has been telling lies about me, and goodbye to my FBI brothers.
*Comey goes under oath*
Burr questioning: Did Russia hack us? Wait, poo poo, they did? Um, EMAILS.
Warner: Is Trump really that hosed up? Huh.

I hope a result of this testimony is that people who raked Comey over the coals realize he was a good guy who did the right thing and was always acting in the countries and the FBI best interest.

You could replace the ending of MGS3 with Comey and everybody on the left and right would find a reason to hate him.

Is Rubio's game plan to make the investigation look inept?

It's the whole RNC gameplan. Their talking points got leaked, they're running a campaign ad against him.

Fox is going to spin this as Comey being useless and Trump isn't under investigation and didn't directly ask, so there's no problem.

"How damaging would it be for individuals involved in the transition to set up a back channel with Russia, on their equipment, and evade our intelligence services?"
