    You know for absolute fact that the gas bombs came from Assad.
    You know for absolute fact that the gas bombs did not come from Russia.
    Do you?

    Then why did the Government of the United States of America expel 35 Russian diplomats and their families?

    And the Left wing accused Trump of colluding with Russia using ZERO evidence. Zilch. Nada. Nothin. Zippo. Not a single shred of proof. Not an email. Not a phone call. Just some made up ****.

    You understand that right?

    Your vociferous defense of Rice will be copy and pasted by Trump supporters after he wins his second term and is followed by Pence.

    Congress..........

    However, AG Sessions should appoint a special prosecutor to look into all of it. The Trump team and the Clinton team ties to Russia, including the Obama administration's unmasking and surveilling of the Trump campaign and the subsequent leaking to the press. Everybody gets a real hard look, let the chips fall where they may and prosecute any and all breaking of the law.

    Please cite them. And the Clintons failed to report $millions in donations ( play for pay) from the Russiansm which their own lawyers concede. They call it a "mistake".
    Which is more worrisome?

    Hurry back with those "tons of meetings that Trump and his team lied about".

    Zero evidence except the numerous and extensive ties that many of his top advisers have with Russian oligarchs, and his absurdly warm language and general apologism towards Putin. I think that's a pretty good starting point.

    Trump and his team has alleged since the beginning that there were ZERO connections with Russia.

    “I have nothing to do with Russia,” he told reporters on Thursday. “To the best of my knowledge, no person that I deal with does.” - From Trump himself.

    “This is a nonstory because to the best of our knowledge, no contacts took place, so it’s hard to make a comment on something that never happened,” Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a White House spokeswoman, said on Monday.

    Shall we list the people from Trump's team that had numerous contacts with Russians?

    Roger Stone
    Carter Page
    Michael Flynn
    Kushner

    I didn't vote for Trump, but I think this Russian narrative is laughable. Seriously, it is sad that so many people actually give any credence to this weak political ploy.

    Seriously?

    You'll notice the "if you look you'll probably...." qualification without any substantive evidence from a putin toadie. absolutely makes sense to believe the russians at this stage after all, they seem to be just about everywhere in the past election.

    And podesta had some financial stake in a russian company. Well of course, that means everyone with stock in russian companies must be a russian operative. Of course everyone knew podesta had this board position, while NOBODY (media or public) was aware of the extensive russian contacts with trumpettes (who lied about them repeatedly), until it was clearly laid out by the evidence so far presented.

    the right just keep reaching and reaching and reaching but there ain't nothing there for them to grab hold of, except so far a NSA doing her job. .

    Trump said nobody met with Russians, now we know practically all of them did. Kushner lied about meeting the Russian owned bank, Flynn lied about money Russia, Sessions lied about meeting Russians, page met with them, Manafort was paid by them...and on and on lol
