    Would the Chief be around to punch him and get away with it?

    No he didn't.

    Yes he did. He said there was intelligence contacts between the campaign and Russia that warranted investigation of collusion. That's the same thing unless you're arguing Flynn's defense in his upcoming treason trial.

    Which is already different than your previous post. Post the quote Michael.

    In fairness, Fox was the first to go all-Manchester last night. Perhaps entirely as an excuse to change the subject from Trump.

    GOWDY: Did evidence exist of Collusion, Coordination, Conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian state actors at the time you learned of 2016 [Russian] efforts [to meddle with the election]?

    BRENNAN: I encountered and was aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign, that I was concerned about because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals, and it raised questions in my mind … whether or not the Russians were able to gain the cooperation of those individuals. I don’t know whether or not such collusion — and that’s your term — such collusion existed. I don’t know. But I know that there was a sufficient basis of information and intelligence that required further investigation by the Bureau to determine whether or not U.S. persons were actively conspiring, colluding with Russian officials.

    Part of the problem is it's easier to be ScreechTV when a party with the opposite mindset is in power. Rush Limbaugh had the same problem 20-something years ago. All of a sudden, he went from ripping to the Clintons to defending Republicans who made gains elsewhere. People want to rip those in power. Easier than defending them.

    Right. Which is not what Michael quoted him as saying.

    He is unable to say he saw any evidence of collision.

    He saw contact.
