Right now, Pubs not only own all branches of the federal govt, but they also have a big majority of the states.

So, maybe you have some insight on why these weaklings sit by and allow "liberals to destroy America" like you claimed.

Your move.

Just an FYI...

It ain't the Dems being investigated for conspiring with the Russkies.

Carry on.

Have you not learned, Republicans always cave to Liberals to give away America. This has been going on for decades.

Russia and most of the countries of the world were involved in trying to influence our election....just like the other elections, they want to influence who we elect. To be fair, most of the countries trying to influence the election were trying to get Hitlary elected. The Russian salad Trump connection is made up establishment bull****.

Issues with Russia started to heat up after the Ukraine events.

And the US is not lily white when it comes to meddling in other countries and trying to influence voting.
The US State Dept spent $350 million trying to influence Israel's vote.

The Russian-Trump connection came from that dossier that was prepared by a Democratic smear campaign company. Our government is using it as a framework for their investigations only they are running into brick walls trying to verify most of it, especially the passing of money between Trump and Russia.

It's good that you recognize the pattern.

It's a shame that more Pub voters remain deeply ignorant.

Pubs like to talk a good game, though.

Now they've elected the biggest BSer in history.

Facebook is a worldwide advertising platform. How is it "interference" to use it as intended? Also, hasn't all the evidence showed that the Russian govermmemt preferred Hillary?

Which means they have not completed their work one way or another. They may be waiting for results of the criminal investigation, and determining guilt or innocence is a matter for the courts.

At least we now have a formal official declaration from the Republican controlled Senate that the Russians did interfere. Although that may embarrass the president (he had wanted a mandate, not a dark cloud over his administration) this can no longer be derided as fake news and pitched to the gullible as a witch hunt.

Only because the definition of "interfere" keeps getting watered down to the point of being meaningless.

It only too 5 years for anyone in Congress to acknowledge that.
The intelligence community was issuing warning and actions since 2012 and they all got ignored.
Mueller himself wanted to expel some Russians from the US and was denied.

I'm not sure I'd call whatever you're referencing close to the same thing, but...

Ok?
