Goodlatte said something to suggest making Wray stand up would be onerous. Maybe stress-related back issues? I would be. Indeed, I think I am.

Goodlatte continues to let the FL GOPers who most directly benefitted from the hack and leak have the early press time. And thus far, reporters aren't noting that significance.

Gowdy says Mueller hasn't found anything yet. Now says this country is being hurt by Mueller investigation. We've seen the bias. We need to see the evidence. If you have evidence of wrong-doing, present it to GJ.
