How can Comey be removed? Congress?
Hahahaha!

It's OK if he screws HC over but not if he does it to Trump?

First point that is interesting. Comey states that they would not comment on ongoing investigations it is a Federal Offense. Yet? He released the information about investigating Hillary just before the election. Unbelievable.

They are continuing with Rogers asking about FISA wiretaps. Talking about leaking information, trying to tie Russia and Trump. More to come.
It's because they got nothing, nada, zip to prove their claims.

It's Official: The FBI Is Investigating Trump's Links to Russia

“I’ve been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts.”

James Comey 3/20/2017

Do you blame them? I sure don't. Get rid of the war mongers if you want to win.
Wait- so Tillerson espouses conflict with North Korea...

Trump supporters okay with that? I mean- it's only South Korea at risk.

Plus, plus---- A massive military budget with deep cuts to diplomatic missions, even as military officials say diplomacy is CHEAP..

So again Trump supporters okay with this?

Who the hell is calling who a war monger? Come again?

Your whacky conspiracy theory makes no sense.
I try not to let my tinfoil get too tight, but I think much of this goes back to the fighting in Syria. Iran and Russia want an oil pipeline, and Assad, being an ally, is good with that. Saudi Arabia, and the US, don't want it to happen- we can't afford to lose the benefit of most the world's oil being sold in USD, so we stir up some already-existing dissent against Assad, and Syria becomes a huge mess. Trump threatens that, either because he's not on board with the whole premise, or because he doesn't want to **** off Russia due to business interests there, or some other unknown reason. We already know many of the old-time, establishment Repubs don't want him in office, probably because most of Washington is complicit in everything that goes on there.


Crazy? Maybe, but it makes a lot of sense when you look at the whole world situation, rather than just US/Russia.

If the Democrats and the liberal media hadn't have done that, they wouldn't have anything to release. The democrats own collusion took them down.
This.

I don't understand why people are blaming "Russia" or "Wikileaks" for the DNC's admitted flaws that they did.

I heard this analogy yesterday, but it's like your girlfriend going through your phone and finding out that you sent naked pics to another girl.

Instead of assuming the guilt of you sending naked pics to the other girl, you instead get mad at your girlfriend for going through your phone, and get mad at HER for not trusting you and not respecting your privacy, and ignoring the thing that YOU did wrong.

This is how I see it. How can you get mad at Wikileaks for simply exposing what the DNC did wrong and how they shunned Bernie, fed questions to Hillary during the debates, etc?

To me, it's hilarious that people still defend the DNC and put blame on Wikileaks and Comey for the election being lost. But I digress.

Its obvious that there was cause to investigate Trump and I hope that he was wiretapped and bugged up the wazoo.


Especially given the long history of Russian support for separatist,nationalist, anti-EU, and far-right parties in the West. The Russians are huge supporters of the Le Pens and the French National Front, the Scottish National Party, Geert Wilders and the PVV, etc. Supporting Trump would be a natural extension.

I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp. Funding separatist movements in Western countries, inciting racial/ethnic/religious tensions, dividing the EU, etc weakens the West and lowers our ability to respond to Russian imperialism in places like Ukraine (Crimea, Donbass, etc), Moldovia (Transnestria) the Baltics, Georgia (Abkhazia and South Ottesia) Central Asia, etc. If we are too busy getting hysterical about Muslims, illegal immigrants, the EU, etc we won't see Russia make another landgrab. RUSSIA BENEFITS FROM AMERICANS BEING AT EACHOTHER'S THROATS! The Alt-Right are Russian puppets.
