    You mean the federal investigation of the sitting president colluding with a foreign power to undermine our election? I'd say that's worth discussing.

    These folks don't want to discuss this. They just want to navel gaze.

    Based on what evidence? None. To have made this allegation on nothing(whereas by contrast, Hillary's emails became known to the public) is defaming the 45th President of the US. But what we do know, confirms there is no collusion. There is however a leaker, and I suspect a liberal-leaning leaker.

    Grassley No collusion and no conspiracy.

    If there was clearly no collusion they wouldn't still be investigating it. Maybe there wasn't, but it has yet to be determined.

    I thought he came out and said their was no collusion but the investigation is still open because they want to get more details on Flynn and on the extent (counter intel) on how deep the Russians affected the election. Which they stated had no effect at all. They also stated that the investigation open in July means it is very young and government is slow to move on these things.

    I guess we will see where it goes from here.

    And THAT'S the problem. Until it's determined, the very accusation should not have come out. Because it's inflamed the public. If true, then Trump will get his just desserts. But if not, the FBI by proxy did the same thing as Trump's tweets. If I were at committee, I'd ask Comey one simple ass question: "What proof is there that supports your high confidence? If there is none, then you have no business being here until you do."

    Question: Is Russia our adversary? Comey - Yes Rogers- Yes

    Question: Do they intend to do us harm?

    Comey - Yes.

    Comey - "They engaged in a multifaceted campaign of active measures to undermine our democracy and hurt one of the candidates and hope to help one of the other candidates."

    Rogers - "I agree with the director."

    A lot of nothing that says nothing. Undermining one candidate would naturally support the other candidate. So I'd have aimed for a more direct line of questioning: "Was Russian Activity geared towards helping the POTUS, regardless of who his political adversary was?"

    If they thought that.....Trump would have never been allowed to take Office. So slobbering in the Wind doesn't change it up from spitting into the wind.

    More slobbering doesn't make it true.

    The person's you should have listened to is Comey and Rogers. They explained in great deal how American citizens become involved in surveillance efforts.

    An investigation was going to stop Trump from being elected? You don't actually appear to have any understanding of how Democracy works.

    Clapper: 'No Evidence' Trump Campaign Aides Recruited by Russia......


    Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told ABC News he did not see anything to suggest that Russia successfully infiltrated Donald Trump’s presidential campaign or recruited any of Trump’s advisers – at least as of Jan. 20, when the retired three-star general left office.


    "There was no evidence whatsoever, at the time, of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians," Clapper, a career intelligence officer, told ABC News' Brian Ross in an interview Monday for "World News Tonight." .....snip~

    If there was no collusion they would not be investigation to determine if there was collusion! That must make sense in some alternative universe, maybe.

    Comey also said leakers will be Prosecuted. So how many Demos will end up going to jail, and then prison, do you think?

    Big deal. That's old news. The FBI is investigating because it has to investigate, that does not mean there was or was not a crime.

    Same for obama wiretapping Trump. Except in this case it is a solid fact that there was a FISA request which was approved to wiretap Trump, and Trump was monitored by the govt. The question is whether obama knew about it.

    And there are only 1 type of person who cares that the Russians (if it was the Russians) leaked a lot of DNC and Hilary campaign emails. Those people are Hilary supporters who are mad that all the illegal and deceitful activities of the DNC and Hilary were exposed.

    Whoever hacked the DNC deserves the USA's gratitude for EXPOSING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DNC and giving voters accurate information to base their vote upon.

    Then its clear you don't know how the Law works. Any act of treason that one is caught in would be dealt with immediately. Trump would have been impeached before he took Office.

    Since he wasn't.....that should be a major clue for the left and its illiberals.

    You Do understand that probably as many Republicans as Democrats in the FBI probably want the truth to come out. Particulary now that Trump has repeatedly disparaged our security agencies and the people wo work in them.

    What part didn't you get with Clapper leaving Office on Jan 20th? [​IMG] Anything Trump is being accused of comes from the Campaign. That which they are investigating. Ala.....before he took Office. [​IMG]

    Guss now you are hoing to explain how acts of treason are delt with immediatly. Feel free to help our education by supplying the relevent laws that allows acts of treason by to be delt with immediately even before the acts are proven. This should be hilarious.
