Why isn't this top news?

Former MI6 agent Christopher Steele's frustration as FBI sat on Donald Trump Russia file for months
Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent who investigated Donald Trump’s alleged Kremlin links, was so worried by what he was discovering that at the end he was working without pay, The Independent has learned.
Mr Steele also decided to pass on information to both British and American intelligence officials after concluding that such material should not just be in the hands of political opponents of Mr Trump, who had hired his services, but was a matter of national security for both countries.

Meanwhile, Trump Has Really Pissed Off China
Two Chinese state-run newspapers are warning President-elect Donald Trump against putting the “One China” policy up for debate.
"If Trump is determined to use this gambit in taking office, a period of fierce, damaging interactions will be unavoidable, as Beijing will have no choice but to take off the gloves," wrote China Daily, an English-language newspaper

GOP Wants To Fully Legalize Gun Silencers. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
The GOP has just risen to a whole new level of crazy. Last week, it introduced the Duncan-Carter Hearing Protection Act of 2017, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) and Rep. John Carter (R-TX). The bill removes gun silencers from the scope of the National Firearms Act of 1934, and refunds the $200 transfer tax to applicants who purchased them after October 22, 2015.

Donald Trump has persuaded Republicans to doubt the intelligence on Russia's hacking
Donald Trump this week finally came around (kind of) to the intelligence community's conclusion that Russia engaged in hacking in an attempt to influence the 2016 U.S.

Speaker Paul Ryan is urging the GOP-controlled House to pass a 'critical first step toward delivering relief' from President Barack Obama's signature health care law.

Meanwhile, in our nation’s capital, our elected officials had a late night of work. After seven hours of debating, they voted to approve a resolution that would rid the country eventually of Obamacare. Can you imagine, the senators finally worked until 1:30 in the morning, and it was for this? How would Congress like it if we all met in the middle of the night and voted to take THEIR healthcare away? -Jimmy Kimmel

The FBI Needs To Be Investigated, Namely Comey, And A New Election Must Be Held.

If true, this salacious dossier on Trump was gathered by a very experienced intel man, Christopher Steele, hired by Republicans opposed to Trump before he won the nomination. Let that sink in.

Below are the last two paragraphs of an article by the Guardian.

...In the US presidential campaign Steele was initially hired by a Washington DC political research firm, to investigate Trump on behalf of Republicans opposed to his candidacy. He was kept on the assignment after Trump won the nomination and his information was circulated to Democratic party figures and members of the media, Reuters said.
Eventually he began dealing with the FBI regarding the dossier, sources told Reuters, but he became frustrated at the bureau’s slow progress and cut off contact. The material then circulated in political and media circles before ultimately making its way into the public domain.

So the FBI Director, James Comey, knowing of this dossier decided to intervene in the presidential campaign days before the election inferring that Hillary's emails were once again a problem.

How many more dots need to be connected that there was direct interference by the FBI and Russia all in favor of Trump?

UPDATE: Justice Dept is going to "review" the FBI

I am taking the day off. My friends have come by to paint the inside of my house. 😊

Peace and love to all.
