    This has been one of the great hopes of the Russian Conspiracy all along. You know what some people call that? A witch hunt.

    Party doesn't forsake their treacherous activities. In fact, it makes it worse. Even while they have a majority in Congress, they will still attack the US and denigrate its capabilities. But you know, I'm starting to feel a dread and a major depression politically. It's over. This country. Politically, there's no point. This country cannot be sustained by any coalition, any leader or any further period of time.

    The US was given a powderkeg called "leader of the free world" and blew itself up with it. I want to move to England. I can still speak English and not have to deal with this anymore.

    I still check him out, too. He has become a parody of conservative news commentary. He's a complete joke. You can't help but wonder if just off camera Trump is giving him a handjob as he deflects from Trump's disaster of a presidency. The guy doesn't promote any values or principles, just Trumpism. There is a special level of Hell reserved for propagandists such as him.

    They can if they uncover something while investigating Russian ties.

    It is like the police getting a warrant to search your house to find drugs. While doing so they find no drugs, but a dead body. They would be able to start an investigation looking into possible murder. If evidence is found they can present that to a grand jury and if they think it sufficient you can be prosecuted for murder. Despite the original reason for the investigation being about drugs.

    IMHO there will be no conspiracy charges related to the election. I think the best evidence will be similar to what we have already seen. Just stuff that could have been the Trump campaign doing illegal stuff. No smoking gun.

    If Trump is impeached it will be for something like money laundering for Russians. IMHO it will be rough ride. I imagine many Trump supporters will be claiming Trump did nothing wrong and money laundering is not collusion with the Russians to influence the election. So impeachment and any charges will be claimed to be just the establishment trying to get rid of Trump.

    What the hell does this (bold) have to do with the definition of a Democrat or a Republican? What policy are you referring to? Sounds like complaining for the sake of complaining.

    150 million people on food stamps? Do tell. But that's on your planet, right? Not this one. Or are you talking about Russia?

    One year into the FBI's Russia investigation, Mueller is on the Trump money trail

    One year after the FBI opened an investigation, the probe is now managed by special counsel Robert Mueller. Sources described an investigation that has widened to focus on possible financial crimes, some unconnected to the 2016 elections, alongside the ongoing scrutiny of possible illegal coordination with Russian spy agencies and alleged attempts by President Donald Trump and others to obstruct the FBI investigation.

    While the economic recovery under President Obama has been sluggish and underwhelming, slow and disappointing are hardly words you would use to describe the stock market's performance under the outgoing president.

    Since Obama's first inauguration on Jan. 20, 2009, U.S. equities have surged 12% a year, not counting dividends, in what turned out to be the second-longest bull market in history.

    To put that in perspective, those price gains were nearly four percentage points per year more than domestic equities have averaged since the end of World War II. They also compare favorably to the 4.6% annual losses suffered by the S&P 500 index of U.S. stocks under the eight years of Obama's predecessor, President George W. Bush.

    Here's one other way to think about it: If during the upcoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, the stock market were to replicate the success it enjoyed under Obama, rising by a factor of 2.5, then the Dow Jones industrial average -- which currently stands at just under the 20,000 level -- would have to climb all the way up to 50,000.

    46 million on food stamps. Of course since work requirements and other factors have been implemented by The Don, it's at it's lowest in 7 years.

    Now let's tackle that pesky national debt on that planet you live on.

    The special prosecutor has the right to go wherever the clues take him. Don't even try to speak for the American people, you can't.

    You do understand this has been totally expected as part of a SC investigation.

    Talk to Walmart about paying their people enough, where they won't have to live on food stamps. Or is the Corporate State off-limits to discussion.

    We've moved on to the national debt which skyrocketed to 20 trillion dollars under Obama.

    Most U.S. attornies and prosecutors. It is how tthey investigate and issue subpoenas and get witness tesitmony. And by the way there are always grand juries empaneled, they just start using one.

    Where is the one Comey never called as he should have.

    What is mind-blowing is that neither Trump or his family did not imagine that they could not hold up under the kind of scrutiny that a POTUS and his family are subjected to. Just how ****ing greedy and dumb are these people?

    A single person can live without food stamps working at Wal-Mart If you think you are going to provide for your family of four working as a cashier anywhere you're a fool.

    The hubris of the Trump crime family is off the charts. They're different from normal people. Completely above the law, in their minds. Psychotic, in Donnie's case. They're lawyered up to their ears...

    Did we ever see anything even close to this from the Obama administration, or any other President?
