Not really sure, this came out 5 hrs ago. McCain is fanning flames against Russia though.

"Our nation’s elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the warped lens of politics and manufacturing partisan sideshows," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. "If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him."

lol spoken like a true flim flam man. so if we dont investigate were doing russias bidding, if we investigate were doing russia bidding... can we start charging russia rent cause they seem to be living rent free in washington dc

You gotta love that guy. He screws you for years, and then points his finger in the opposite direction thinking everyone's forgotten what he's done.

Gotta say I disagree. The DNC’s Bernie scandal was no small matter and caused major damage to potential voter turnout.

Kasich was moderate enough to pull voters from both major parties. The vote may have been somewhat close, but there are enough Clinton haters that he would have prevailed.

I see where you're coming from, however I don't think there was much policy in the decisions made at the polls during the last election. That is inherently what is, and keeps, fueling the back and fourth still today.

If the elections were really about policy, we'd have more than two versions of representation. Just my 2 cnets.

Fair enough!

Can someone explain where this keeps coming from? Trump isn't going to touch Mueller doing so would be political suicide. If Trump hasn't committed treason then he has nothing to fear. Even if they try to nail him for obstruction it would never stand. Because in court trying to prove obstruction would be near impossible because you have to prove what he was thinking.

Even if we say he fired Comey because his handling of the Russia investigation, proving he did it for fear of getting caught and not do to incompetency would be impossible to prove. Mueller may get an indictment but proving it in court is another matter entirely and Trump's lawyers would easily tear it apart.

It's the POTUS's Constitutional right to fire just about anyone in anyone in Govt for any reason.

How many brass did Obama fire from the DOD?

Trump is Head of the DOJ and FBI.

Political appointees are the most vulnerable. They serve at his pleasure.

Ironically, Mueller doesn’t “need” to entrap Trump. The Donald is managing to do a fairly good job of that all on his own. He’s his own worst enemy.

If the GOP had nominated Kasich, a moderate with integrity and little to no political baggage, there would be no Russian investigation against a sitting president or his administration. As it is, it looks like we will all have to hang a picture of dear comrade Putin on our living room wall.

Hope you’ve developed a taste for vodka.

Dude, didn't matter if it was even Jeb!. They would have framed them too, more easily.

Don't you get it?!

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HILLARY'S TURN!!!

Ummm...as the original opposition researcher and wallet for the Steele dossier...before he farmed it out to the Hillary campaign....Songbird telling anyone not to look at anything through a warped lense of politics...is so freaking rich...it’s unbelievable...
Ole...”wet start”...is only attempting to deflect from his own involvement in this charade...of course he would say that...and right on cue as well...

What Russia Investigation?

I was talking to one of my political hack friends at work and was corrected that it was never a Russia collusion investigation, its an obstruction of justice investigation and always was.

They also probably told you we have ALWAYS been at war with EastAsia.

As I'm looking at this I'm starting to think the Russians took advantage of the DNC and Mr Steele.

Is it likely that all the Russians involved in the attempt to influence the 2016 election were lying, scheming, Kremlin-linked, Putin-backed enemies of America – except the Russians who talked to Christopher Steele?

lol which one? He keeps changing it.

Both I'd imagine.

The only ones doing Putin's bidding at this point are the Democrats. This kind of discord is exactly what he was looking for, and they just can't let it go now because they've lied to the public about it for over a year now and need this to drag on at least to the midterms.

a reply to: burgerbuddy

For a faction of the DNC, yes, that was the case.

It doesn’t change the fact that if GOP had put forth a VIABLE, COMPETENT candidate — not just one that is nothing more than a one-trick insult pony — chances are highly likely they would have prevailed.

The Clinton machine was not only broken, it was doomed from the start. Way too much political baggage and blatant misogyny to make it viable.

Now if the line up had been between Bernie and Kasich, it would be a toss up.

Fusion GPS Admits They Used John McCain to Pass Anti-Trump Dossier to Obama-Era Intel Agencies

EILAT, Israel — The founders of the controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted that they helped the researcher hired to compile the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump to share the document with Sen. John McCain.

The goal of providing the dossier to McCain, the Fusion GPS founders explained, was to pass the information contained in the questionable document to the U.S. intelligence community under the Obama administration.

The disclosure raises questions about whether McCain knew that the information he delivered to the intelligence community was actually an opposition document reportedly funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

McCain’s office did not reply yesterday to a Breitbart News request for comment on the matter.

Last December, it was revealed that it was McCain who notoriously passed the controversial dossier documents produced by the Washington opposition research firm Fusion GPS to then FBI Director James Comey, whose agency reportedly utilized the dossier as a basis for its probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

McCain is an accessory to sedition and treason.

He should face a firing squad like many of these people.

I would declare them enemies of state, apply a shoot on site order, and the seizure of all assets.

This followed by investigations into all friends, associates and family. If found guilty apply the same method until there are none left.

Purge.

Sure thing, it's called the return of what's owed, or eternal recompense in all perspect the big purge of hostile entities working within will come to light plus a few heads on a platter served with the best caviar money can buy.
