The thing that people forget about what was going on in June of 2016 was that no one was really focused on sort of this question of whether Donald Trump had a relationship with the Kremlin. So, you know, when Chris started asking around in Moscow about this the information was sitting there. It wasn't a giant secret. People were talking about it freely. It was only, you know, later that it became a subject of great controversy and people clammed up, and at that time the whole issue of the hacking was also, you know, not really focused on Russia. So these things eventually converged into, you know, a major issue, but at the time it wasn't one.
I agree -- that is a pretty interesting point.

This entire thing seems to have been pretty dynamic in the beginning - constantly changing as new things were revealed or unearthed.

Cover-up? Of what?

A. I will go back to your question, but,
3 again, it says "Source B asserted the Trump
4 operating was both supported and directed by Putin
5 aimed to sew discord within the U.S.," and, you
6 know, basically -- you know, there's a number of
7 different ways that it seems they're trying to
8 intervene in our politics in this memo.

And let's not forget that this testimony is not even 3% of the kind of dirt Mueller and his team are uncovering.

Also, I miss a time in America when both parties cared about our security and supported the rule of law. I really do.

It really wasn't that long ago.

I mean, you know, I think that also -- of course, in retrospect we now know this was pretty right on target in terms on what it says.
In other words, he's testifying that he and Chris Steele were helping the Kremlin interfere in the election.

it is a long enough document , but scanning through it i CAN see why Republicans wanted to hide this. The Doc seems to show Fusion GPS in a good light and appears awful for trump

it clearly shows Steele was concerned with Trump being blackmailed by Putin and that this was the motivation to contact the FBI..

Grassley should be ashamed of himself.

Wow. Where exactly do you get that from? What nonsense.

Senator Feinstein has a spine & in the interest of transparency, just took a page right out of the typical republican playbook in a successful outmaneuvering of grassley & graham! Good for her!
