About time. Although I'm not sure I buy the story of Bannon only being put on the security council to keep an eye on Flynn. Hmm.

Amazing timing thought it came out when everyone was watching the UN security council meeting about Syrian Chemical Attack

I wonder if Trump was deliberately trying to deflect attention away from that UN security meeting with that announcement or not I hope it didn't make as much impact as he'd hoped for

So that knobhead Nunes has stepped down from the Russia probe, ''temporarily''. Again, about time.
Whether or not you believe Trump is in the pocket of Putin, Nunes has acted like an absolute tit. Hopefully they'll throw the book at him for ethics violations, as I haven't seen anything other than him deflecting and defending Trump, which isn't a surprise considering he was part of the transition team

It's amusing that Nunes, apparently one of the few people to vocally suggest the whole Russia-Trump-love-in narrative might be flawed, has been forced out They're leaving nothing to chance, are they?

Yes, it's shocking how Nunes has been treated.

I mean, it's not like he potentially undermined the inquiry by secretly speaking to the Trump administration behind the backs of the committee... or anything

You don't see what an enormous coincidence it is that one man contradicting the stuff about Russia is politically bumped off sharpish?

Anyway, Trump has bombed Syria now, so that's something new to argue the toss about

By bombing Syria has Trump made that situation better or worse and therefore his own situation better or worse for himself?

After years of Obama flip flopping at least Trump has taken a decision whether one agrees with it or not.

There's no sympathy to be had with the Syrian regime. The only language they understand is force and Trump has spoken to them loud & clear.

Big IF, but if it stops future chemical attacks it's done a job whether you agree with Trump or not.
