Too chatty, but fascinating and scary. The section she read concerned the moment the FBI informed Trump of the Steele Dossier. Trump and Priebus immediately began brainstorming how to spin it before the press. Clapper interrupted to suggest the CIA had only presented facts, its job. Spin was not their job. 

Trump and Priebus ignored him--and the line between intel and politics.

I think Trump supporters do not understand or care about that line. Many "independents" won't see what the big deal is.

By the way, I watched two hours of Fox last night. The dirt heaped on Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller is scarry; reminds me of old newsreels of Nazi judges shrilly ranting at defendants accused of treason. A completely inverted world over there, with Trump defending the rule of law against defenders of the swamp.

Oh no, not the Nazi reference! Don't kill the thread :)
- Apart from that, I can confirm that it's scary, I've never seen anything quite like this, and I grew up with actual state TV :). A huge media enterprise does everything it can to spin a legit investigation as corrupt and dirty. I mean, Lou Dobbs called Mueller a SOB on TV. An investigator, republican, former FBI director, war hero and honorable man. Just because he might touch Trump, prove a crime of his. This is abhorrent stuff.

@ comey topic didn't see it on Rachel Maddow, only you radical lefties watch this stuff :) but yeah, I heard something among these lines (sad but old news), plus that strange pee tape statement.
