ON THE OFFENSIVE: WH alleges DNC, Clintons caught in 'collusion'

Trump unloads on Hillary over double standard, amid reports Dems also got foreign help

RUSSIAN CONNECTION
Shadowy company tied to troubled Trump Jr. meeting


Three headlines from admittedly pro-Trump Fox News, but all news services and mass media display the same trend; rather than getting to work each party and their partisans are investigating each other to death. Basically we're endlessly re-litigating the election of 2016. The Democrats, not surprisingly, feel cheated. The Republicans admittedly won electorally by a comfortable margin but did not win the popular vote.

It's time to get to work. The more we concentrate on the a past election, the less people are watching, for good or bad, what Trump is doing.

Time to stop investigating to find a crime to investigate.

Know what? If Trump came clean about all this stuff instead of lying and obstructing and waiting for journalists to uncover the truth, we'd all be talking about healthcare, infrastructure, and tax reform right now. So it's his own damn fault that he's such an idiot and has decided to drag this out and make himself look as suspicious as possible.

Would any normal person want to start off a Presidential term with a barrage of leaks and investigations?

Why would any normal person with nothing to hide want to lie, deflect, and obstruct investigations into things they know are without merit? Wouldn't they instead want to be fully transparent and put out ALL the information so that they can show the public that they are right and the critics are wrong?

Nope, and no normal person would have caused all of this to be brought on himself, either. Trump had a clean slate when he started his campaign, if he had not tried to play the angles and kept his nose clean, none of this would have happened.

The blame for this falls right onto Donald J Trump, no one else.

Sleight of hand, and Twitter his method of distraction. Ha.

No. There was plenty of mud being slung in both directions.

Exactly! I'm so tired of this Russia stuff. I want to hear more about the healthcare ideas that are on the table.

If Hillary would have come clean she would be doing time and it would have been Trump against Bernie

Investigation with out evidence of a crime. Nonsense !!! Time to lay the cards on the table.

She wouldn't be doing time, but she paid the price for her transgressions and failed in the election. The media crawled up her ass, and that was fine.

Now it's Donald's turn. And since he won't come clean, the media should dissect him just as it has been doing.
