Sorry for the late reply, but my ability to do so will be sporadic over the next couple of weeks due to work/travel/etc. Anyway, whether it's feel good crap or not as you say, my point is really about the MSM and the so-called leakers, how they choose to leak/report whatever they feel fits their agenda. I thought this is what Rubio was alluding to and what I also believe. I don't know the truth and honestly find it quite difficult to find it. Therefore, I try to withhold my judgment until further information is available to us.
My personal gut feeling is that I don't trust Comey anymore than I trust the President at this point in time. In other words, so far as I'm concerned it's a draw until someone actually proves something. Sure wish I had the time to visit with some people more in the know to get their opinions on the matter, but my schedule is not going to permit that at this time. I mention this because I tend to lean toward knowledge that is more first-hand than media driven, people who have worked in and for the system. Otherwise, I can only go by what I see, hear, and read, and I'm finding it more difficult every day to weed through the bias and to find truth. I'm trying not to jump to conclusions based on my beliefs or my desires. Some days it's not easy with all the emotion and bias out there in the press. News is just not news anymore and I'm more angry about that than anything. I would think that you feel the same, being the truth seeker you say you are.

I will be glad to supply any link you want on Trump's life of lying and deceit. Of course you can find that anywhere if you simply look.
I was distraught that would say "I don't trust Comey anymore than I trust the President at this point in time. In other words, so far as I'm concerned it's a draw until someone actually proves something." That makes no sense when the ex director of the FBI is testifying UNDER OATH and a compulsive liar is simply mouthing of and telling even more lie. I suppose you might be happy with a President who thinks he is still on "Celebrity Apprentice" instead of worrying about the country.
I know you are busy so will not go on but will share with you as a start an article from one of Trumps biographers...wish you safe travels but you sure do need to read a bit more on this guy.
"But the hearings did give us a vivid picture of something familiar — how Trump has adapted his trademark tactic of distraction and misdirection to fit his current circumstances. During the campaign, he used it to capture headlines and throw opponents off balance; now, instead of going off on immigrants, Mexicans, Muslims, the elite, etc., he's mining Russia-gate itself to keep our attention away from what's going on outside that Senate hearing room."
Given the negative and potentially illegal implications of ties between the administration and the Russian government, you might think that the President would do his best to draw attention away from the issue.
Indeed, he did maintain a rare silence during the hearing and for some hours afterward. But someone with the same name — Donald Trump, Jr. — kept up a steady stream of derogatory tweets while Comey spoke, and the next day, the President got back to trashing Comey, refuting things the former FBI director never said and continuing his own dance-of-the-seven-veils act regarding whether or not there are tapes of his conversations with the former FBI director.
In part, this is because of another iconic Trump trait: loudly and repeatedly declaring he’s the winner and his opponent the loser whenever he perceives a threat.
It reminded me of what happened back when Trump's first marriage hit the rocks in December 1989. It was a messy situation, involving a wife, a mistress, and three young children — the kind of thing most people would try to keep private, particularly if they were simultaneously facing a tsunami-size financial meltdown.
Not our President.
To build his super-luxury brand, he'd spent the ‘80s on a high-end buying spree that netted him an airline, a football team, the Plaza Hotel, Mar-a-Lago, three casinos, and the world's sixth-largest yacht — as well as put him nearly $1 billion in the red.
Then, just as the proverbial you-know-what was about to hit the fan, a mistress-wife dust-up occurred on the paparazzi-clogged Aspen ski slopes.
Trump’s parents were appalled and the kids were freaked out, but he gleefully exploited the headline-making potential of this domestic meltdown in a last-ditch effort to convince his creditors that he was too famous to be foreclosed.
Bankers had loaned money to him not because he was a prudent guy who hugged the shadows but because this was their brush with glitz and glamour, and he was more than willing to turn his own family melodrama into tabloid fodder that might help keep Ship Trump afloat.
Now, Trump is betting that once again the media and the public won’t be able to walk and chew gum at the same time — that is, to pay attention to both Russia-gate and the drastic shifts in government priorities and policies that are unfolding out of the limelight and will wreak havoc in the lives of tens of millions of Americans, including the supporters who put him in the White House last November."

I might add that your comments on the media are what he has planted in all his loyal followers head and it has no merit and his charges have never ever been specific at ANY TIME. His definition of FAKE NEWS is news he does not care for, and you guys buy into it. I am tired of hearing about the media being a cause of anything.... THEY REPORT WHAT HE DOES AND SAYS
