1) This has the potential to be a massive story. The fact that Tulsi Gabbard at DHS has revealed this, and not the DOJ, is a signal that they do not want this to look like a "gotcha" of political enemies but of what it was, a real national security threat: the "Muh Russia" conspiracy was real and involved multiple individuals in the Obama administration, including scum such as James (Scrotumtoter) Comey, James (The Clap) Clapper, and John (Brennanski) Brennan, not to mention Obama himself.
