They are non-partisan. Those employees have been there through many administrations and have been hired under both parties. Only those who feel threatened would say that.
Surveys show that over 90% of government employees are Democrats.
Not really. If Partisan Hack Gowdy wasn't such a lousy attorney, he would know that it is not the CIA's job to investigate crimes--it is the FBI's duty. The CIA monitors intelligence and passes on their findings to the FBI, who provide the 'evidence of collusion.'
Gowdy made a fool of himself once again playing 'mean partisan prosecutor.' If he only realized how ridiculous he sounds.
"...Brennan said that there was intelligence and information that "revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign." This evidence was cause for concern because of "known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals." He would not say which individuals were involved, because this information is classified, but he said this evidence was "worthy of investigation..."
And when Obama was in office, all that I heard was how republican the intelligence agencies, Secret Service, etc are. And they actually, historically are. My friend was a secret service agent for Bush and Obama and was very, very Republican and said most the agency was as well as the FBI. I don't think that's magically changed. Law enforcement types tend to be republican.
Yet, to hear Trump supporters say it, Obama was their puppet master. Something that Trump is not seemingly capable of accomplishing. Either Trump is not capable or the narrative is deeply flawed.
CREEP stands for "Committee to Re-elect the President".
Nice try, though.
Who cared who they supported? That is not a standard question when someone is arrested -
Police Officer: "And who do you support for President?"
Plumber: "Nixon"
Police Officer: "OK, we're going to check on that! Ron, run that down!"
It had to be investigated that they worked for CREEP. They didn't offer up this information when arrested. It was also investigated that they were paid with checks from originally from the CREEP bank account.
On June 17, 1972, ...The five burglars were processed at the police station, where several of them gave fake names. Hunt hired a lawyer to quickly bail the men out, but he underestimated their bail amount. G. Gordon Liddy went to his office and commenced a shredding operation to eliminate any evidence of his involvement. Liddy worked for the Committee to Re-elect the President, sometimes referred to pejoratively as CREEP, and his involvement was a direct connection to President Nixon. McCord was the chief security officer at CREEP. Liddy and Hunt had also worked at the White House, which made the Nixon connection more serious. Meanwhile, a simple fingerprint check revealed the burglar's true identities.
On Monday, June 19, 1972: The Washington Post reported, "One of the five men arrested early Saturday in the attempt to bug the Democratic National Committee headquarters is the salaried security coordinator for President Nixon's re-election committee." Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that a search warrant had been executed for the hotel rooms for which the burglars had keys, and that inside one of them were address books that listed Howard Hunt's name or initials, and included the hand-written notation, "WH," for White House. Official reaction was swift. From the White House, Nixon's Press Secretary, Ron Zeigler, dismissed the incident as some sort of petty thievery attempt. John Mitchell, the head of CREEP, denied that the organization had any connection to the event. These public denials were lies. In fact, an elaborate cover-up was already under way. The charge that would stem from the cover-up, "obstruction of justice," would eventually bring Nixon down.
I see a much bigger issue here regardless of proof or crimes. How does the guy who is going to fix America manage to surround himself with people for whom the Russian spy agencies deem to be "leverage" against the POTUS?
THAT cannot be blamed on anyone but the fearless leader himself. His hand-picked loyalists going about like the Three Stooges! It goes to competence. It goes to credibility. It goes to effectiveness.
Great leaders do not let others set the terms, they change the game.
Well, let's see. Trump fired Flynn. Manafort is long gone.
Anyone who is influential is targeted by the Russians, just as we target influential people in Russia. Nothing new there.
The Russians! The Russians!
Yes, they spy on us. We spy on them.
Putin murders his opponents. The globalist corporatists in this country murdered Seth Rich.
They invaded Crimea. We've invaded about 30 countries.

Testifying that he warned the FBI a year ago, about direct Russian plots to sabotage our elections, Brennan has made it impossible for congressional investigations to brush past the issue. He refused demands to say that there was no evidence of it.
It's all just more innuendo, spoken in conspiratorial tones, with a cocked eyebrow, suggesting a vague and ambiguous possibility that some hidden, nefarious skullduggery may be afoot.
