Strangely, the Dumbocrats think that all this 'resistance' will get their power back in 2018, and the White House in 2020. Very doubtful. They haven't changed their thinking on anything, which is why Trump won in the first place. "It's your politics, stupid," we might say. They just don't 'get it.'

I vote for Trey Gowdy for FBI Director (but that's bound to make the Dumbocrats absolutely come unglued).
I like Raymond Kelly for FBI Director - he will "unglue" Schumer even more than Gowdy would, because Schumer has promoted Kelly in the past as FBI Director.

But then that would have required action on the part of Obama. But he did not do that.

If Russia is so fake why is their an investigation. I don't care who the target is I wand to know why Russia is so entangled in our political system. You should also want to know unless you are being paid off.

I don't like the way Trump fired him...not right...however, I also don't like the way he stood up there and told Congress that their finds were that Hillary misused her emails....but did nothing....

What would have happened if at that time, he would have prosecuted Hillary? They couldn't. She was once again protected.

that was wrong, he was covering up for Obama...and Hillary to win the election.

Watch Tillerson chuckle during the Russian diplomat's sarcastic performance about how of course he knew about Comey's firing. Why wouldn't he?

Russia is a world power. They are invested in ALL elections.

What did you say about Barack sending his agents to Israel to lobby against Netanyahu?
How about Hillary ordering the bombing of Libya to remove Ghadaffi?
What about Barack interfering with the Brexit vote?

Here's an oldie but a goodie! How about the Chinese bankrolling Al Gore's campaign? Remember Johnny Chung?

That is actually scarier to me than anything. The only time he's gotten good coverage from the media establishment is when he launched strikes against Syria. Lord knows what he'll do now to get good coverage again.

He has a legitimate beef but he has to be more measured in his response or he'll keep fueling the fire.
Then wouldn't the sensible thing to do be to hasten the investigation with all of the help you could provide it?

Just like his refusal to publish his tax returns. the man has far more to hide than he's willing to reveal.

Arrogance and maleficence has been his hallmark throughout his career; why would you expect him to be different while ruining your country. Ooops, misspelled "running"........NOT!
