    Wonder why you haven't heard anything about the Big Trump/Russia Collusion Investigation lately?

    BOOM !!!

    Because it is collapsing around the sleazocrats's ears, and the leaders are bailing out, before the domestic spying scandal leads to indictments.

    The rats are jumping ship before the trap is set. The Obamite leftover at the DOJ, IN CHARGE of the Trump/Russia "investigation", is , suddenly, STEPPING DOWN and RESIGNING FROM GOVERNMENT:


    Key Official in Trump-Russia Investigation Will Step Down

    Mary B. McCord, who has been helping oversee the Justice Department’s probe into Russian interference in the presidential election, is stepping down from her post as the acting head of the department’s national security division and leaving the federal government in the coming weeks, a source familiar with McCord’s role told The Intercept. The source, who asked not to be identified as McCord’s departure has not been formally announced, said that McCord plans to work in academia after leaving government.

    It was not immediately clear who will take over for McCord. “I can confirm that Mary is leaving DOJ next month,” said Marc Raimondi, a spokesperson for the Justice Department, by email. “I cannot provide any additional material at this time.”

    McCord is a
    career civil servant who became acting assistant attorney general in charge of the national security division in October, when John Carlin, an Obama appointee, resigned. In that role, McCord was responsible for counterintelligence and counterterrorism investigations at Justice. In his testimony before Congress, FBI Director James Comey described the Russia probe as “a counterintelligence investigation” and said it would “include an assessment of whether any crimes were committed.”

    “Any major investigation related to counter-intelligence or cyber-related counter-intelligence would fall under Mary’s leadership,” said Luke Dembosky, who served as deputy assistant attorney general at the national security division until last spring.

    Now that the bogus, Clinton campaign-funded, Crowdstrike LIE has led to the exposure of the Obama Adm.'s domestic political spying campaign...she doesn't want to be around anymore....must not like orange jumpsuits....

    And, of course, the left's Fake News "sources" will do everything they can to HIDE THIS from their gullible, spoonfed, lemmings....

    They're all huddled up, trying to decide how to lie about this, or pretend it didn't really happen....

    From the CNN article
    And this just came down today.
    It looks like House Democrats just won a big victory in the Trump-Russia investigation

    It's not over, It's really just getting started.


    Oh, yea. And Obama was spying on Trump.
    Because Trump was colluding with the Russians to steal the election.

    So, who is really the traitor in this story?

    Of course CNN said that...what would you expect from the least trusted name in news?? The "big victory" is that the lie-o-ocrats are going to have some other lie-o-crats come lie about the proof they do not have. Wow. Scary.

    Meanwhile, instead delivering this "death blow" ( :rolleyes: ) , the lie-o-crat IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE BOGUS TRUMP/RUSSIA CHOSE TO BAIL, NO REASON GIVEN...
    Gee...nothing odd about that.


    So you are seriously goin to try to pretend this is not a MAJOR SETBACK for the bullshit madeup Trump/Russia collusion "investigation"?

    SERIOUSLY???!!!!

    I hate to break it to you, but some of us have lives and don't wait around on baited breath for another one of your ridiculous threads.

    But thanks for giving us like 10 minutes or whatever...

    That the person IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE PHONY TRUMP/RUSSIA "investigation" just bailed, for no reason whatsoever given?

    Yeah...what an "Earth-shaker". The sleazocrats just announced they were getting other sleazocrats to come lie about proof they do not have. WOW!!!!

    Yet, oddly, the sleazocrat IN CHARGE of the ENTIRE INVESTIGATION chose to BAIL OUT, instead of delivering this "major blow".

    Just can't put 2+2 together, can you..?

    You mean like Nunes and Chaffetz resigning in hopes of scrubbing some of the Trump/Russian stink off of them before the next election?

    Who knows why she resigned. She may have been threatened by the corrupt Trump Admin for all we know. Maybe we should take the SS protection from Trump Towers and assign it to more worthy primaries like everyone brave enough to stand up against Trump's deep deep corruption.

    Uh...she was the DOJ (over the FBI..Comey's BOSS) in charge of the whole shebang. Why do you think they waited until Friday afternoon to report this?

    Keep trying to rationalize it....it's funny to watch.

    Not just "someone". The leftover Obamite IN CHARGE of your Sacred Trump/Russia Collusion myth. The one person who has seen "all the proof".
    BAILED. No reason. :)

    I'm loving all this feigned nonchalance...why do you think it was buried until FRIDAY AFTERNOON??

    Yer Wonkette...

    Badass Sally Yates Ready To **** Trump Up In Front Of House Intel Committee!

    <snip>

    "Hooray, all ye patriots, for the House Intelligence Committee has locked the dumbest Trump villain, Rep. Devin Nunes, in a closet and told him he’s not allowed to say “Russia” or “wire tapps” ever again, just because he’s under investigation for revealing classified information.

    Now that the idiot chairman is out of the way, the committee is free to recommence its work, which is to find out just how much the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to steal the election. The Republicans on the committee, of course, are investigating Obama doing “wire tapps” inside Trump’s microwave, because Republicans are like toddlers — you have to give them something to do, otherwise they are just running around screaming and pooping on things.

    Anyway, the committee has announced a new open hearing (which we bet we will liveblog!) to happen on May 2, to make up for how Devin Nunes canceled the last scheduled hearing, because he was scared somebody might say something mean about his real dad Donald Trump. Even better than that, the committee has invited former acting attorney general Sally Yates, to come testify. Hooray! She is your hero! Here, have a press release:

    <snip>

    Yates was a big part of the reason Nunes canceled that last hearing. The White House had been muttering ******** at her about how she wasn’t really allowed to testify, because “presidential privilege” or something. She, of course, replied, “Eat me.” So Nunes killed it, because how can Sally Yates hurt Trump’s feelings by testifying if there’s no hearing for her to testify at?

    You’ll remember that Yates told the Trump administration A LONG TIME AGO that disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn was a foreign agent from ForeignTown, which made them very sad, because..."

    Don't worry. There are multiple agencies looking into the collusion between the Trump Admin and Russian forces. I'm not sure what you think this will change...

    Wait how is this a "big victory"?

    What does "invite" mean?

    It cant mean subpoena ...or they would have used the word subpoena ...which would mean they know they couldn't get a subpoena ...which would mean they have nothing.

    So they're going to "invite" people to come sit at a table in front of a few Democrats.

    And why do they want to do this?

    To ask questions?

    Judging by the public hearings and the confirmation processes of this session of Congress so far the answer is: No.

    What they're going to do, and I'm calling this now so check me on it in May, is use the high-profile nature of the opportunity to read statements under the guise of an inquisition.

    Did you ever watch the big names on the Left during any of the hearings and confirmation processes that have occurred so far?

    They didn't ask questions, they read from WaPo and CNN articles.

    (Hell, Bernie Sanders spent four straight minutes during an FDA confirmation to spew nonsense about Trump's election when it was 100% irreverent to the task at hand.)

    They use their time to re-hash fake news so that those same outlets can re-hash fake news and say "oh look at this, this happened during an investigation".

    Do yourself a favor and actually watching CSPAN when this goes down, then read the news.

    You'll be amazed at how all of these so called "bombshells" originate from media -> get regurgitated by politicians -> then get re-hashed by the very media that created them.\

    Seriously, watch if for no other reason than to prove me wrong ...you'll be amazed, no doubt.
