Follow the money, will lead right to the truth. That means tax returns. An independent investigator can subpoena those returns. Until that happens, we're all just peeing into a hurricane.
The process takes time. But we need to go through it. There can be no question of any shortcuts or backroom deals.

Fingers crossed that our Constitution holds. Probably depends on if enough people stand behind her.

Guess we'll find out.

There is not going to be a special prosecutor for fake news conspiracy theories peddled by DNC hacks and their allies in the media,

There will be a DOJ investigation of the Obama regime, which there should be, and indictments of Democrats will follow.

As mention before the Obama Administration with the help of Bill and Hillary destroy people lives.
That's what I thought. You know what some folks are saying. You actually have no idea whether they are talking through their hats or not.

And absolutely NO ONE has said that either of the Clintons was involved in whatever it is that is going on. Not Trump, not Nunes, not Comey...

You're dreaming.

I know you would like this to happen but, sadly, the evidence is piling up that your dreams will not be coming true.

While there are several Congressional hearings and and FBI/NSA investigations into the Trump-Russia connection, the DOJ has made no mention of any plans to investigate the "Obama regime" and bring indictments against the Democrats. Could always happen I guess.

For the moment, it seems have their hands full what with the travel ban, the Trump-Russia business, handling all the ongoing prosecutions... all while short-staffed.

You're really pushing this left wing stuff. Seems you are 'disseminating it widely' as the article urges people to do.

It's no surprise.

The AlterNet is identified by Wikipedia as a Progressive activist site. OK, see the track we're on here?

The rest of it pretty much tells us all we really need to know -- which was already obvious from reading this highly biased story, and which I'm surprised anyone would want to be seen as so strongly endorsing.

We will have to see. It's like we work for any of these agencies, we are just merely civilians. The indications however based on the information (If we can believe that too) that there is senior leadership involved at the top levels of the Obama Gov.


What drives me to the Clinton connection is the faithful day Mr. Clinton met AG Lynch here in Phx sky Harbor. Plus the information provide to Clinton in which has been forgotten by many.

Folks are going to accuse others of being totally wrong on all sorts of stuff regardless ... but just noticed this thread started with confusion leading to apples and oranges type discussions.

The OP never provided a link in the first post on 22 March for this thread/sticky. OP almost certainly was talking about Nunes; but without a link the second poster was immediately confused saying her brief comment and the thread title was old news - thinking the reference was to the Russian surveillance question (addressed in your March 15 article).

The first thread link came from hitemsohard in post #16 - the Nunes' charges made on 22 March with the trip to the WH.

THAT issue is indirectly related to the Russian investigations - and there's no other major thread (???) right now on those investigations and both involve FISAs so it's inevitable the two will be merged with interlocking posts.

Maybe it helps to say that some are arguing that the Nunes charges on March 22 (again, when this thread began) were an effort to distract or derail possible findings in the Russian investigations (and the Trump tweets). And that the details and motivations for any Obama Administration actions could be quite different between the two issues (one, the Nunes charges about non-Russian "surveillance" during the transition, and, two, the longer-term Russian "surveillance" questions).

For example, the Obama administration has been pretty upfront that it DID move to preserve evidence about possible Russian interference in the election with Republicans at the House Intel Hearing on March 20 concerned about the Flynn leak. That's a different issue from whether or not they were generally "spying" on the Trump transition team outside of the Russian concern.

Helps ... does not help ...
