During the hearing, Trump himself tweeted that “The NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence the electoral process.” When Democratic Representative Jim Hines of Connecticut brought up this tweet in near-real-time to Director Comey, Comey denied that the FBI was making a statement one way or the other regarding Russian influence on the election’s outcome and claimed his bureau’s investigation was still “ongoing,” despite no hard facts whatsoever being presented in the hearing.
Later the same day, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh asserted that while no new information was presented, Comey’s “ongoing investigation” talk may be a pre-emptive notice to Trump to cease his efforts to “drain the bureaucratic swamp” in Washington, lest he tempt efforts by Congressional lawmakers — on both sides of the aisle — to impeach him. According to Limbaugh, a political message has been sent: “you either straighten up and fly right, or you’re gone.”
It will be interesting to see how this game of Spy vs. Spy will play out in the coming months, but for now, it appears the Democrats are simply blowing smoke from their own ten-cent cigars.
