ok you don't like trump thats fine. what about clinton and her aides? so much stuff comes out and nothing is done. we need the truth not cover up

Hillary Clinton is not the President, remember? We need to make sure that the people in power have our best interests in mind,not Russia's.

Your post makes no sense. Are you saying only the President should be held to account for any nefarious ties to Russia (or any other nefarious ties/ crimes)?

Not sure why the stock response from Trump haters is - but but Hillary is not President. What does that have to do with anything? If Hillary or anyone else, Obama included, have broken the law whilst in public office, it needs investigating.

If the FBI did pay for the dossier and worked with others, including Hillary, to try and set up the current administration then we need to know who was involved so that they can be brought to justice. That would seem fairly obvious, regardless of whether Hillary is President or not.

Its a valid point Hillary is done politically yet people want to continue to spend money beating a dead horse. Let the investigation finnish so we can learn the extent of Russian involvement in the election. Ultimately anything discovered falls on Trump and Obama not Hillary.

Where did I say that "only" the President should be held accountable? The fact is that the President of the United States needs to be held to the highest possible level of accountability. Therefore, exposing wrongdoing by someone in power takes precedence over someone whose public service has ended.

ETA: I find it hilarious that you are still trying to push the ridiculous "it's a Democratic conspiracy" theory. Trump got himself into this mess on his own. If people in his campaign got recorded talking to Russians ho were being surveilled, that evidence of FBI wrongdoing, and if their identities were revealed to members of the National Security Council that would not be illegal.

The fact is the dossier was concocted to illegally spy on an opposing political opponent should be a main concern for everybody.

Which was it? Concocted? Or was it the result of actual spying, in which case it may be truthful. As far as gathering information on a political opponent, it is perfectly legal. Note that the Democrats did not use the dossier, but someone sent damaging material about Clinton to WikiLeaks. The dossier was evidently compiled by interviewing Russians who knew of Russian activities. The WikiLeak material was from direct illegal hacking against an American citizen. See the difference?

The dossier, which contents are, "salacious and unverifiable," compared to authentic e-mails?

Absolutley no contest.

Can someone explain to me why the Republican party is turning on its own people?

I.E. Muller and Rosenstien

Perhaps its a sign of things to come. If the investigation doesn't turn up any illegalities, you have won a huge political victory. So I say " let it play out".

So you are okay with accepting stolen goods? Good to know.

a reply to: DJW001

Based in todays news about Trumps transition emails, it looks like stealing emails is par for the course.

Except the FBI gave Hillary a pass on hers. I dont think Trumps team will get that same soft hand.

Perhaps she shouldn't have had them on an unsecured server, eh?

Because it was a public hearing and the question concerned an ongoing investigation.

So the answer was a Yes and the ongoing criminal investigation is into the, who and why the FBI paid for it?

That I can accept.

Those aren't the emails Russia hacked, and you know it.

The answer was "go away." The FBI interviewed Steele. There is no reason to believe that they were behind the dossier or remunerated Steele for it. Trump, meanwhile, has taken to trying to damage the credibility of America's counter-intellegence agency. Who benefits from that?

Then how did Wikileaks get those?

Then who got the $12 mil?

Fusion GPS? Ohrr and Nellie?

Strok?


The DNC and Hillary paid for it. You think Steele did it for nothing?

The FBI already stated that they were prepared to pay Steele for more 'intel' until his name became public.

Would anyone be surprised to find out that they paid for the dossier to begin with?
