More obfuscation coming - I think.

Peter Hoekstra paints a case that the Obama administration got the raw intelligence reports. He paints this as unprecedented and a bad thing.

Fascinating.

As for Trump's assertion that Obama wiretapped him, Nunes repeated Friday what he has said previously, telling reporters, "That didn't happen."

However, Nunes on Wednesday had left an impression — widely repeated in the news media — that the conversations of Trump and his aides were picked up by American spies.

"I have seen intelligence reports that clearly show the president elect and his team were at least monitored and disseminated out," Nunes told reporters.

This was all about winning a news cycle. Sadly folks like Induveca fell for it (or chose to fall for it).

Trump is a hard worker, assuming he's on the Senior PGA

Can't believe Trump, an expert deal negotiator, couldn't get this thing done.

I don't like their argument - therefore their argument isn't an argument. Klein is the best

So now we're graphing guesswork partisan data from media pool reports? Ha.

Do you think there was any substance at all to the Republicans' motivation for repealing ACA? Do you think their constituents truly wanted this for themselves?

It looks like they've already gotten tired of winning. Trump warned us this would happen...

Is the "partisan data" line thrown in there because its the Washington Post?

If it's not from Wikileaks, you simply can't trust it.

I haven't read Art of the Deal. Can someone help me who has?

Does the Art talk about dealmaking as spending a few weeks on something, making a few phone calls and then making an ultimatum?

Maybe Trump will hit all the issues on the agenda this year.

"I spent few weeks on Health Care but Ryan screwed it up"

"I wanted to do Tax Reform but the Republicans weren't ready"

No, other than deficit spending reduction (but at the very high cost of the uninsured). Do you think there was an substance in Klein's argument
