also accused Mr. Comey of working to “shade the truth” by agreeing to the Obama administration’s attempt to soft-pedal the criminal probe of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
He said Democrats ended up fostering the very Russian meddling in American democracy that they decried — and he specifically fingered Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, saying the New York Democrat knew from Mr. Comey that Mr. Trump wasn’t under investigation, but told the public differently.
Mr. Grassley said that as a member of the “Gang of Eight” — the lawmakers who get the most thorough intelligence briefing — Mr. Schumer knew Mr. Trump wasn’t being probed. But Mr. Schumer “told the media that the president was under investigation. And of course that further helped feed media hysteria,” Mr. Grassley said.

So far this has only made a crippled Russia look more powerful than they are, and many on the left are keeping this narrative alive and well.
So basically Comey lied, to give the Russia narrative time to take hold.
And Schumer lied to further the fake narrative, feeding the media hysteria.
Not looking good for Comey, and Lynch both under investigation!

After reading and listening to one of the only journalist outlets left, the Intercept, I've come to agree with many experts the only reason Russia may have done what many believe they did is to shake up our trust in this democracy.
If you try and look at it from the outside, Putin would likely have no gains from a Trump presidency.
And this has shown to be true so far.

I wonder if US politicians realize that the entire reputation of the US government as a legitimate and transparent body hangs in the balance and is now more toxic than ever before in history.
Everyone who is currently attacking Trump with the government sanctioned-narrative of "Russians', or 'Obstruction of Justice', or '2 scoops' is part of the problem facing America - they are sooooooooooo blinded by unfounded propaganda-driven hate for Trump that they cannot see (or, more likely, simply refuse or deny seeing) the lying liars who keep telling them to look in Trumps direction (whilst they quickly dispose of the evidence and dead bodies whilst you are distracted).
I am seeing the gallows in the distance - the DNC and all their lying enablers are about to hang themselves. At the end of the day, the Constitution requires full protection - lying politicians come and go but the Constitution is forever.
From reading your posts I consider you a Classical Liberal and thus I try my best NOT to call Progressives, Liberals!!!
Even if it did, it was the release of information we should have had access with FOIA, so in my mind trivial.
As for lying Trump, every president I've seen in my lifetime has been a liar. That doesn't make it right, but it sure doesn't make this anything new.
I also am no hypocrite, so until we stop meddling in elections (including our allies), forgive me for not being outraged.

there really isn't any pleasing you. LOL. Trump admits Russia may have been involved in hacks. You, yourself, did several extensive threads on why that was the case. There is also a new fact released that Russia did not alter or change the outcome of the election in any way. Both are consistent with what Trump said. He says enough dumb # you don't have to manufacture BS like this, it's like the boy who cried wolf. Soon, everyone will just ignore you and laugh. Don't be that guy.
My statement on the FOIA largely pertained to Hillary as most was incriminating towards her, and she had a private email server to hide from it.
If they had soldiers on our borders, than we would surely do many things to hinder them as a power.
You tell me how you'd like to respond to their actions assuming we can prove it (keep on mind I as well think they surely had some involvement).

Has Sen. Schumer made any response to what Sen. Grassley has said?

That's okay, Trump just said about the Russian meddling, that "it was a Dem hoax"
