Agreed.

Sanders, not being a Democrat had no one on the inside of the DNC rooting for him. Many Democrat's liked the man's message but he still was considered an outsider piggy backing on the efforts of a party he never previously helped to build up. Many Republicans felt the same way about Trump, BTW.

This is nothing like the criminal derailing of a general election with the help if a foreign entity.

Yeah, whether fair or not, a political party has the right to choose THEIR CANDIDATE anyway they want. I don't LIKE what the DNC did to Sanders, but it WASN'T A CRIME. If they so choose, party leaders can simply select their candidate. Voters can then decide whether or not to vote for that candidate. None of that is a CRIME.

Soliciting election aid from a foreign power however, IS a crime.
Donald Trump senior publicly ASKED the Russians to hack and release Hillary's e-mails.
Donald Trump junior privately MET with Russians promising "dirt" on Hillary.
Russians hacked the DNC server and attempted to hack the election system of over half the states in the Union.
What did the Russians expect in RETURN?
That is one of the questions Mueller is trying to answer.

Yeah, it's not like two top members of the Senate Intel Committee - one a Republican - gave a detailed update on this TODAY.

Oh, wait.

That's right, they did.

The top two members of the Senate Intelligence Committee gave a detailed update on the panel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election today, saying that the "issue of collusion" with Russia remains open.

Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., the chairman of the committee, went through a number of issues that the investigators have looked into and the breadth of their search.

Burr said the "general consensus" of those involved with the Russian investigation, they "trust the conclusions" of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). The assessment concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a campaign to undermine the U.S. election and favor then-candidate Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.

LOL. They started that investigation in January stating a "general consensus".
Their update..9 months later with more details is still a "general consensus".

They got no proof. 9 months later and there's no proof from this committee.
Allegations about the "Russian connection" started surfacing last July.

Over one year later and no one has provided any PROOF..just allegations.

Is it because Hillary lost that it must have been because of the Russians ?

If you think about it, if the Russians really hacked last year. Isn't that under Obama? His administration should be at fault for allowing it to happen without a comprehensive review of the systems before voting.

The Democrats has been losing the middle class because they never gave the middle class an impression the last 15 years that they could help them. All they've done was increased the income inequality the last decade by implementing small business killing policies and fighting against tax cuts.

OK - so Putin favored Trump.
We knew that.
That's not exactly a high crime or misdemeanor.


I hope they have something else if the left wingers expect to have Trump impeached.
