#1 Meanwhile, the FBI Director makes 'wise cracks' about New England Patriots during congressional testimony.

#2 Anyone who tells the truth must be yanked. CNN did this all the time to support Hillary.

#4 #2 Anyone who tells the truth must be yanked.
Exactly Herb. Must be that truth is not valued in DC. The hearings are Kabuki theater. Why do I always get this feeling that when someone won't give a straight answer or that when they invoke the cloak of security to not testify, I think they are lying or complicit?

#5 It wouldn't be the first time a news analyst/commentator has made unsubstantiated claims. So why did he get sacked? There's more than a good chance he was told by the news division not to say anything until they could verify the report but he chose to ignore them.

#6 Napolitano has been benched and won't be appearing on the air in the near future.

It sounds more like he was given a time out than that he was sacked, DepotGuy. But perhaps this is how they ease him off the payroll without upsetting his fans.

#7 It's all stageplay theatre for the masses, JohnQC.
That's why they each have their scripts. You will often see a camera cut to an empty face 'listening' to a question, that is being read.

#8 Perhaps it was true, and the value of the "*" process for internal screening of each other's citizens is considered so vital to national security that it's exposure is viewed as a catastrophic setback to the WOT. I suspect The judge was told to be silent and because of his integrity refused. Hence his benching.

#9 There was this paper from the late 90s published in Oz that explained that part of the game. It came right after the US spying on Soviet Sats spying on the US so that it wasn't direct spying on the US population.

#10 I thought it was common knowledge that the '5 eyes' spy on each others citizens to bypass national laws.
