What is in bold green above is untrue. Nothing new came out of this hearing. Which means nothing is going to change due to today's events.
Listed below are the 6 takeaways from the hearing according to the Washington Post. Ask yourself, is there anything new in this list that changes the status quo of this controversy?
Obviously the answer is NO.
the six takeaways per WaPo:
1. There's no evidence of Trump's accusation that Obama tapped his phones
2. The FBI is investigating connections between President Trump's campaign associates and the Russian government
3. But the FBI is going to be VERY tight-lipped about the investigation
4. Democrats seem pretty sure associates with Trump's campaign colluded with Russia
5. Republicans, meanwhile, want to focus on*intelligence leaks to the press
6. Intelligence officials still don't think there's any evidence Russia's meddling directly influenced*votes
