Trump has no right to know details about an ongoing investigation that involves him. It's really a moot point anyway, the Senate is beginning their own investigation by a bi-partisan panel.
He has every right to know al inteligence. He is the POTUS. You are a damned fool.

Correct. But anybody with a sense of decorum would recuse themselves at this point.
Why? The Dems detecting something that they did not like does not give Schmucker the right to appoint chairman of ANY committee while he is in the minority. The speaker has that authority. Schiff is a snake in the grass. He will make all kinds of innuendo and never apologize when proven wrong. He has ***-kicking due him for past actions.

I am curious how one can overlook the blatant disregard of our governmental process in this case? We have three branches of government that are supposed to be checks and balances on each other. Here we have the chair of a powerful House committee sharing some sort of information on an ongoing investigation with the President whose administration is under investigation. He won't share what he knows or what he shared with Trump with the rest of the House committee. By some accounts is blocking the committee from doing their job.....Maybe partisan whining, but I am not sure there.

At a minimum, Nunes has shown complete disregard for our governmental system; a member of the Trump transition team running to his former boss with intel. (the blatant conflict of interest deemed somehow to be acceptable) At worst he has compromised an investigation. Yet we here almost no criticism from the right except for the usual moderate voices such as Sen. McCain. I am not sure if the right has declared the administration's potential Russian ties as a non-event and literally don't care, or if the ends justify the means in this case and anything to protect Trump is okay. But the hypocrisy of some who wave the "Constitution flag" to remain silent when one of the Constitution's foundational tenets is trampled, is very telling.


OM1, I'm curious, what was your reaction to Loretta Lynch's "meeting" with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac last fall while his Wife was under the Obama Justice Department's investigation?

Russians bought condos of his. Big deal. That's what passes for evidence/news. Comey didn't bring anything new to the table with his briefing. There isn't anything to sweep.

First, different ideas is not leaking classified information to the press as a government employee. Second, their ideas do not matter now. They are under different management, and should act accordingly, or expect to be shown the door.

She should have resigned or been terminated immediatly. I am very conservative when it comes to following rules and law. My entire adult life I've been in roles where I had to remain free of any appearance of a conflict of interest. Those included referee, bank examiner, and auditor. There is no gray area here.

OK. I just wanted to hear what your opinion of that "meeting" was in light of you being so upset with Nunes.
