    are they? do you know if he doesn't want to speak to everyone in that room with Trump and the Russians at Trump hotel?

    we will have to wait for the investigation to complete to see the report

    No, that was the Inspector General.

    Keep laughing through the pain.

    If your looking for someone to blame pick on this guy. He was a problem for Trump before anyone talked to Fusion from the Hillary camp.

    Seriously, if anybody is going to go down as the "Trump Judas", it's going to be the coffee boy.... Although to be fair, while it may have been Papadopoulos who put him on the tee, it might be Cohen who smashes him down the fairway....

    Why would a guy who failed to set up meetings, who was rejected by Manafort of all people, be a problem?

    No, your question is not valid
    How would any one of us be able to answer that question
    And, in any case, it does not matter since the trump team responded to an email advertising the opportunity to collude

    There has been lots of smoke
    The whole point of an investigation is to see if there is or was a fire
    Until you investigate, all you can say is there is lots of smoke

    If there is no fire, that will be the result of the investigation
    And we will all be relieved

    Which has what to do with a democrat drone telling Trump that the people who work for him think they run the government?

    Besides, we'll find out exactly what happened to the servers thanks to the Democrats lawsuit against themselves.

    Sure, but isn't a little odd that Mueller has not spoken to the Russian lawyer yet? That is like the most important witness of all, right?

    Personally, I think it's pretty damning to say that of these 5 major countries, not one ioda of intel about Russia and Trump. Not one.

    Here is a snippet of a few talking heads discussing:
    Nunes claim sparks new questions about anti-Trump dossier

    Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is suspicious of how the FBI launched its Russia probe; reaction from constitutional attorney Robert Barnes and Utah Republican Congressman Chris Stewart on 'Fox News @ Night with Shannon Bream.'

    I don't really find it odd that Mueller hasn't talked to her. He's talked to others that were in the meeting, plus he has the emails, and probably text messages and phone calls. Her role is to get laws overturned in Russia's benefit, even if that means compromising Americans.

    I think we should wonder why she's so eager to talk to Mueller. Is it about what she did, or what she can find out about the Russians that have been indicted?

    Yeah, I don't imagine Mueller is going to help her out with that, but I do find her eagerness to meet with Mueller confusing. Why does she want to insert herself into the investigation, but more importantly, who does it benefit for her to do so?

    Wikileaks publishing the Podesta emails just a couple of hours after the Access Hollywood tape came out makes me suspicious about Vesselnitskaya's intentions. It's like she's trying to assist in casting doubt on the investigators.

    Enough evidence in the public domain to warrant investigations of the FBI and Hillary. Nothing other than the Steele dossier to warrant this Russian investigation.

    Perfectly legal. Ask the Clinton Campaign who actually received help from the Russians in the form of the Steele dossier.

    Are you indicating a Russian might want to help collude with the Trump WH on discrediting the investigation into the Trump Campaign's dealings with Russia?? Shocking...positively shocking...

    The investigation is to find out what happened
    Maybe legal... so let the investigation proceed

    The information in the Steele dossier was not obtained illegally as far as I know
    Hacking into email is illegal... which is what trump encouraged the russians to do

    I would have thought you had the Nunes memo in your pocket. But to show you how screwed up it is look at #5 of the memo.

    5) The Page FISA application also mentions information regarding fellow Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos, but there is no evidence of any cooperation or conspiracy between Page and Papadopoulos. The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok.

    It not only confirms that Nunes thinks Papa started it, but it also explains why the R's try to discredit Strzok.

    Hee hee.
    Careful what you wish for.
    Breaking news! Manafort no knock was for evidence related to Trump Tower meeting.
    It would seem Mueller thinks Manafort is the more valuable witness. :)
