Drop a note to Rep Nunes. He seems to be offering up information pretty freely.

So much for the chance that Nunes will allow the investigation to proceed freely and be impartial. But we can hope that complete suppression of the facts, is beyond his control.

He made a bad mistake, when he revealed that Trump's campaign staff may have been incidentally included in surveillance of the Russians. He obviously intended this to reflect badly on the Democrats, implying that they had conducted this for the purpose of getting something on Trump. But in fact, it reveals that there were things going on between Trump's staff and the Russians, that caught the attention of those doing the surveillance.

Liars and deceivers will expose themselves, if you give them a chance. The identities of those individuals that had conversations with the Russians, can be and may be, legally revealed. All the claims by Trump's team, about never talking to Russians, may be blown wide open.
Nunes clearly committed an absolutely appalling breach of ethics today, but it completely backfired on him. It didn't gain him a thing, and will probably do a lot of irreparable damage to his cause, because it will fuel the demand for a special counsel to take over the investigation.

Preet Bharara, anyone?

What is the evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians to interfere with our elections (assuming that is the charge here)?

Let me remind you that it took a while for enough actual evidence to come to light implicating Richard Nixon. Once it did, other Republicans told Nixon to resign or he would be impeached.

What we know already, is that Trump confidant Paul Manafort, was paid ten million a year by Russia to represent their interests. When asked, he denied it and he didn't register as a foreign agent, as the law requires. Should Manafort be charged with this crime, don't you think he'll implicate others?
As of today, Manafort is still denying all such accusations, saying they're part of a smear campaign against him. I think he'll squeal, if his feet are put to the fire and may become the kingpin of the downfall of Trump. It's been revealed that one of Manafort's daughters wrote to a sister, saying that, "Make no mistake about it, our money is blood money".

Hilarious watching the desperate, delusional Dems throw temper tantrums and make up imaginary boogeymen. Gotta wonder what is next for the show. Making popcorn.

I'd say it's been really effective:

...and the answer to 2+2 is really 7.

Truth in the era of Trump...it's all malleable

Where the hell is Pence?

By the lack of answers to my question, there must just be only speculation at this point.
