And NONE of it will remotely effect the timetable of indictments that will be coming down the pike for the minions of Trump.
And WHO paid 'Stormy'?!

Quote:One senior GOP senator, asked about his House colleagues' alarm over the memo's contents, sounded a more cautious line.
As he emerged from the House’s secure meeting room Friday, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) declined to say whether he'd actually seen the document. But when asked about the characterization by some rank-and-file Republicans that the memo's contents are “shocking,” Cornyn replied: “I think there’s a lot of paranoia around here when it comes to that topic.”
The lawmakers calling for a the release of the document have pointed to an obscure House rule that permits the intelligence committee to release classified information deemed to be in the public interest.
Under that process, the committee must notify Trump, who would have five days to decide whether to object. If he does, the committee may refer the matter to the full House, which would then meet in a "closed" session, out of public view, to debate and vote on the request.
Other than Schiff, Democrats have said little about the GOP memo, though it was unclear how many had viewed the document by Friday afternoon.
Schiff said he opposes the report’s release because the public would not be able to see highly classified source material on which the report is based, which he said would help identify “distortions” and inaccuracies.
Republicans, Schiff said, are “doing their best to tear apart the FBI to protect the president and I think it’s a terrible disservice to the country.”
A broader group of House intelligence committee Democrats called the concise memo—which they dismissed as “talking points”—an intentional attempt to mislead lawmakers because they'll never see the underlying documents that Republicans used to form their analysis.
“The documents that supposedly inform these talking points are highly classified," the lawmakers said in a joint statement. "And they will not be made public, making it impossible for the few Members who have seen the documents to explain the flaws and misstatements contained within the talking points without disclosing our most closely held intelligence sources and methods. This is by design."
