I am so sick of all this I could scream

All these inconsistencies in peoples' stories, like Dan Coates, need to be straightened out by having hearings in Congress to get to the truth. And in the right circumstances, with the right people asking the questions, the truth usually, eventually, emerges.

Coats, Barr, Giuliani, Sarah Huckabee Sanders etc. etc. etc... The fish rots from the head...

And they still claiming he didn't committed OBSTRUCTION ? Really ? HIS own people saying he did what else is he suppose to said ? OBSTRUCTION is not only the complete act is also the intend. If a person goes to a bank and tries to robbed the bank he is still going to jail not for robbing the bank but for trying to. PLAIN AND SIMPLE....

Trump says, " l have a pebble in my shoe ( COMEY ), can you make it disappear ??!!".( COATS)", NOBODY DISOBEYS MY ORDERS !!!! " Sounds
like obstruction of justice to me

[tanjavanabel]

If others were indicted for lying to the SC, why not Coats?

[ajp]

Another question is did Coates also say that he never said anything like that to anyone ?

[clydepratt]

Abolish the Republican Party!Drain the swamp!!

Taxes??!! I don't pay Taxes. And what is taxes I'm EL PRESIDENTE.

[stewartprofessionalservice]

Dan Coates is available for hearings from time to time right? Midwestern and well respected leader as DNI. Great scoop Getting Law Prof. Barb Lonewolf McQuade and her clear insight in to the day to day news

[brendalmnegron]

Lies, lies and more lies if they say the truth, nobody's going to believe them.

[romans]

If they choose to impeach the person in the White House that means pence is the new person in the White House? Same difference, can they impeach both at the same time?

[jekyll]

Uh, why is obstruction even a word if it doesn’t apply here?

[dennisjanda]

What did Coats know to doubt the President ??

[cornellwaters]

Beware, Putin Pops in the comments section.
