Being not as in the know as most here, I tend to take a wait and see approach on these things... Often what is touted as a big thing in my book just fizzles out. So I lurk for the most part until I get a feel of the situation.

   It shows you just how screwed up everything is in DC when it takes a Presidential Directive to 'prod' certain Department Heads to cooperate with the United States Attorney General.

[EdJames]

It is obviously an important first step, of a fairly long and tricky process.

Hoping that it goes the way that many of us are hoping it does.

[MoMo]

Always the skeptic @corbe its surprising you get up each morning.

   Don't start on me @MoMo

Trump sends a memo....  yeah, okay.

Brennan in handcuffs and refused bail, that's big.

Obama employee's last day at the White House, some crying.
Now we’ll find out part of the reason they were crying.
They knew they’d eventually get caught.

@corbe

Please start a poll betting which one of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse is going to 'unexpectedly' die first.

Brennan, Clapper, Comey, or Lynch?
