all signs point to the FBI having substantial info on the Russian connection

[Truckman]

Good job of burning the evidence vast right-wing Trump Conspiracy!

The fruitless search could certainly never be due to incompetency on the part of the left-wing truth seekers...Heaven forbid!......Ben

[2ndthyme]

so I am curious, if there's no fire, where is all this smoke coming from?

Nunes being so strange... wtf is going on..

Trump said no one associated with his campaign met with Russians

so far we have,
Flynn
Sessions
Page
Kushner
Manafort

[wacojoe]

Of course those contacts are minimal compared to the gazillion$ in cash Hillary and hubby collected from the Rooskies, so what's the problem?

[2ndthyme]

VEB not just a Russian bank as a bank based in Russia, nope it's Vnesheconombank. Specifically sanctioned by the US as a tool of Putin that he uses for all kinds of nefarious dealings with his invasion of the Ukraine. The guy that Jared Kushner met?, head of VEB and Putin appointee,,, graduate of FSB school, Sergey Gorkov

Gorkov was appointed chair of VEB the same year Moscow showered support on the bank in the for of 150 billion rubles, that's 2.6 billion US.


But sure it was just the normal course of business for Kushner,,, cept for that, oooh he forgot to mention it til now? After all these months of Russia in the news and constant denials by the admin..

SO how many votes did the Russians change from Hilliary to Trump? I am still waiting for that sum. I could give a chit who anybody talked to, Obama and Hilliary were talking to the iranians for gods sake, and these people are going to be talked to eventually, so what is the big deal? I seem to recall Obama made a worlds apology tour, talked to just about all of the "player" Country's, and did all of the sinister conspiracies dominate the news then? This is all the stupid liberal dems have to throw out there, and it makes no difference either way.

Just another stupid political snow job so the POS politicians do not have to do their jobs. Get over yourselves people, you are giving these do nothing political hacks all the ammunition they need to NOT do their jobs. A person won the election, using the votes that American citizens cast at the polls and verified under the same rules that our elections have always been conducted under. Time to quit whining and bitching and get them to do their damn jobs.

you keep trying to say this is about legitimizing his presidency and it's not , unless Trump ppl really did collude with Russia?

the fact you keep trying to downplay this belies your partisanship

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that Russia’s attempts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election could be considered an “act of war” against the U.S.

“There’s no question there was a very serious effort made by Mr. [Vladimir] Putin and his government, his organization, to interfere in major ways with our basic fundamental democratic processes,” Cheney said Monday during a speech at the Economic Times’ Global Business Summit 2017 in New Delhi.

“In some quarters, that would be considered an act of war. I think it’s a kind of conduct and activity we will see going forward. We know he’s attempted it previously in other states in the Baltics,” Cheney said,

[TxMusky]

You sure did not care this much when Romney said that the Russians were the ones to watch years ago....in fact you thought he was an idiot. Now you get all riled up and you call me partisan...pot/kettle. It is no secret that any number of Country's have tried to do their best to interfere with all aspects of our Country, from stealing top secret defense documents to hacking into private citizen account info, they even hacked into ans stole a whole bunch of govt employees private info a while back but the previous admin did not squeal and pitch a fit like the libs are right now.

I will ask again, how many votes were changed? There were more votes cast by dead people, duplicate votes and illegal immigrant votes than there were cast or changed by Russians! How come you havent thrown a tizzy over any of those? Before you go off and give the lib line about them being able to blackmail somebody, remember it was the Clintons that took Russian cash for speeches, sold American uranium to them and accepted alll sorts of money through their foundation, so get your knickers all worked up over that as well. Again, until one single vote changed by Russian interference is proven, all you and your ilk are doing is talking chit.

[2ndthyme]

keep trying


if there's nothing there then why the efforts to stall investigations?

[TxMusky]

Talk to Comey, Congress does not have the power to stop investigations.

[TxMusky]

Excuses excuses excuses, that is all the brainless libs have. WHere is the proof????? There is none, if there was some, that douchebag Schumer would have wet his pants by now and God knows that dingbat Pelosi would have let the cat out of the bag. SHe has trouble staying under control and even a whiff of evidence would put her mouth into overdrive. I suggest they find something that even resembles a problem, instead of chasing these ghosts that do nothing but make them look foolish and childish.

[FredK]

Where's the proof? Good question James.

Seems that when it just keeps coming up over and over, kind of reminds me of Bridgegate. Someone will fail and that's the key component of any good coverup. Think a lot would show up on Trump's taxes or maybe just more questions.

[wacojoe]

There is no thing and one thing only Lefties want Trump's taxes for and that is to demigod how good his lawyers are at avoiding them. As for Russians paying off someone, we already know who got the cash from them and how much American uranium the Russians got from us. You can look it up without going through the FBI, if you've a mind to do so. In the meantime, the only Russian deal we know about involving Trump is when he unloaded the biggest estate in Florida on some Russian thug oligarch straight up years ago and no strategic materials or elections were involved.

Come back with some quid pro quo or facts to keep up the interest. If you had anything more than meetings to show Trump is colluding with the Russians for mutual benefit, I assure you myself and everyone else here and elsewhere would be interested. We know the Obama apparatice with full faith & credit from his massive spy network have been diligently trying to pin anything Russian on Trump for a year. Time to produce something or STFU.

[Dave Grubb]

I would not be so sure of your position---and why some of Mr. Trump's dealings have never been more widely exposed I don't know---but here is just one NYC project that has far more twists and turns than mentioned in this article.

Given time, this stuff will have to fall out

[TxMusky]

Think a lot would show up on Trump's taxes

Didn't Rachel Mad cow already show those tax things that the libs are all goo goo about? Made a fool of herself too. As has been shown by any and all articles, one can shift the narrative to whatever side they tend to lean. As an example, we can look at all of the hoopla and dark shadows surrounding the birthplace of Obama, but did it conclusively show anything solid?? If Trump had cheated on his taxes or broke some big law, do you think that the previous admin would have roasted him alive? ALl of this is nothing but speculation, BS and outright lies, if there were no charges filed or a court date set. Speaking of taxes, did the Rev SHarpton ever pay his??

It is high time we booted every single one of the politicians out of office, whether they go willfully or not. This is turning into a big stupid game, where the people are not the main focus, it is instead "Heil Party". Or maybe it the special interest group that will gain the party the most attention or cash to keep the wheels greased. These complete and total idiots are missing the point of their being where they are....to make the citizens of the United States of America , safe, prosperous and to look out for the welfare of every person, period. It is not to get the most people from their side elected or to act like little babies, by throwing tantrums or not showing up to do their jobs, period. This alone should be enough for the people to tell them to leave and go back to their caves as they are not doing what we are paying them to do.

It is time for "We the People" to put a stop to this circus and demand accountability for our votes. Tell the special interest groups the festival is over, they are really not as special as they think they are ans send them packing. Tell the party leadership that the party does not come first, the legal citizens do. Show the whiners and complainers that without verifiable proof of any accusation the entire topic will be skipped, otherwise our leadership and activists will be doing a disservice to the American citizens. Tell the foreigners that this is the American custom that has been going on for decades and our laws are the foundation of our Country. You are welcome here if you adapt to our culture while sharing yours with us, do not try to bring ANY other method of governance here that goes against our Constitutional rights and laws. We do not care if it is okay in your culture to.....

beat women and make them inferior to males
force women to wear a particular item of clothing or risk punishment
circumcise or mutilate your women
throw gay people off of buildings or torture them in any way
use physical force to restrain your young women against adapting to western culture
refuse to allow any person to enter your "zone" including law enforcement
support outside groups that harm or kill your fellow Americans or promote hatred.

Good places to start, if those demands can not be met then you should look elsewhere to live. Just because the place you left is a dump, we do not want you to make our home a dump as well.
try to outlaw something as simple as a particular food because you are against it

Not sure what Tx's rant was all about. Anyone got "Cliff Notes."
