Wrong. Director of Intelligence James Clapper said in a statement that the summary was included in the briefing documents because "part of our obligation is to ensure that policymakers are provided with the fullest possible picture of any matters that might affect national security." That is what CNN reported, that Trump was given the summary briefing. Unprecedented, are you for real? As opposed to what's been done to Hillary Clinton for 3 decades.

Trump was factually wrong regarding CNN. They reported that Trump was given a 2 page summary on Russia having potentially embarrassing data in the intelligence briefing. That was before Buzzfeed released the detailed document. CNN never released or talked about said details. What they reported was not fake news, it was simply referring to the 2 page summary that was provided. So Trump was wrong about CNN, his attempt to conflate who did what failed, and he embarrassed himself by again trying to bully the press.

You're factually wrong on CNN. They reported that Trump was given a 2 page summary on Russia having potentially embarrassing data in the intelligence briefing. That was before Buzzfeed released the details. CNN never released or talked about said details. What they reported was not fake news, it was simply referring to the 2 page summary that was provided. So Trump was wrong about CNN, his attempt to conflate who did what failed, and he embarrassed himself by again trying to bully the press. And Kelly Ann Conway later tried and failed on CNN to again conflate the issues. She said Trump never got the 2 page briefing, but then when pressed by Anderson Cooper said she didn't know if he got it because she wasn't there and didn't have clearance to know. CNN stands by the multiple sources they obtained the story from. This is the type of double speak that people not paying attention let Trump and his sycophants get away with. Conflation and pivot to avoid the truth.

He reopened a previously closed investigation, and sent a cryptic letter without details that was ripe for misrepresentation by Clinton's opponents. “I­n connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.” This written without even knowing the contents of said emails. “Given that we don’t know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, I don’t want to create a misleading impression." Too late, Comey did it by simply sending the letter. And it then allowed Trump to exploit a false narrative. “Now the evidence is so overwhelming ― because they wouldn’t have done this unless the evidence was overwhelming."

Investigating Weiner's emails and making assumptions that they were related to Clinton before they were actually looked at (and subsequently determined to be irrelevant) was not part of the original investigation. But again, Comey was not obligated to mention them until after they were looked at and conclusions were made. But at least you're now conceding that the House Republicans were behind leaking the unnecessary Comey letter that helped sway voter opinions. Comey should have expected such a letter without explaination would be used by the Republicans.

General Flynn! You're as predictable as the Bills punting in 4th and 1, and just as unimaginative. Comey could have waited until after the election, he was not required to meet a certain deadline. It was his decision to inflame the situation and then not offer an explaination.

Yes, yes, and I assume the non-partisan Secret Service has a say in where a president stays and determines it's security. Obama didn't do a search on Trivago.

Remember Trump said he could shoot someone and they'd still support him. He knew his followers.

It was General Flynn who first tweeted a story from True Pundit that the NYPD had evidence on Clinton. His son later continued the fake news tweet. The intelligence leadership thought the Trump scandal credible enough to show to the govermment leadership. So you consider Putin a childish, thin skinned, narcissist.

When in Trumpworld, do as the Trumpites do, like General Flynn who retweeted a story about Clinton involved in a sex ring. It's not fake, it's publicly unverified. There's a difference. The intelligence leadership had enough confidence in the classified sources that it was shown to Trump, Obama, and Congressional leadership.

Ash‏ @oneLOUDERash NIXON: No way can you pull off a more scandal-ridden presidency than I did. TRUMP: Hold my beer. NIXON: Wait this isnt beer.

But it's from Julian Assange, retweeted by General Flynn, so it has to be true.

Scapegoats for those who prefer to turn a blind eye to the facts.

Doug Whaley = Baghdad Bob

As opposed to others who are fine with the 17 year drought and another 7-9 record. Don't ask tough questions and buy more season tickets in support of mediocrity. Some of us aren't fooled by the "rinse and repeat" label on products.

Did you listen to presser? Whaley was asked, and he said he didn't want to reveal criteria because it would tip off other teams on what they're looking for. Given the Bills track record, if Whaley said what his criteria is, I would expect other teams to do the opposite.

HC gets fired and interim coach holds presser. Press naturally is going to ask about firing and coach has no answers. GM holds presser. Press naturally is going to ask about firing since coach couldn't answer, and GM says he speaks for the owners but has no answers, or is even interested in why Rex was fired. And the owners who appearently are the only people with the answers don't have a press conference. So it's the presses fault that they keep asking and don't get answers? Please.

But it's a Bills tradition to pick RBs high when they already have good ones on the team. #BillsyContinuity

Has Kim ever taken questions at a press conference after the initial purchase one? She seems to be more coherent than Terry. She could have provided the answers missing from Whaley's tire fire presser.

This says it all. Close the thread.

And they lose credibility by deceiving or not having the answers. I've seen plenty of corporate shills in my life. The Pegulas threw Whaley under the bus, and he let it happen. That's sad.

Which is why the media will and should remain skeptical about anything management says.

He asked what many fans would like to know, just what do you do as GM since the Pegulas seem to have cut you out of major decisions. What else do they decide without consulting you?
