Rep. Sean Duffy
Rep. Trey Gowdy

Rep. Dennis Ross
Pastor Darrell C. Scott
Kiron Skinner

No surprise that Republicans are eager to scuttle this investigation. Some of these Congressmen were likely questioned on emails they had no idea that Mueller possessed, and they panicked.
So many names on this list I would love to see taken down.

these need to be given the same attention and treatment as Clinton emails otherwise this investigation needs to be closed down.

I can see why Nunes has lost his mind. No telling how deep he is in the dung.

There is always another choice don't vote for a write in. Many here voted for Trump simply because it wasn't Hillary, look around.

This investigation was never about collusion between Trump and the Russians when it began.

Nunes has made the house investigation a circus particularly with his latest request for the Fusion GPS owner to testify, it doesn't matter as Mueller's investigation will go forward.
Trump is his own worst enemy. One step forward five steps back.

I guess it would be a success if the purpose of the investigation was to see if the Feds could get someone within the Trump Campaign to lie to them. Two convictions for lying to them. That makes them idiots but not Russian "colluders." Or if the purpose was to see if anyone in the Trump Campaign had any skeletons of illegal business activity in their distant past then yes mission accomplished.

But I thought it was a Russia investigation because of how horrible it is that the Russians tampered with the election and how we had to get the details so it will never happen again. That was what I heard over and over from the left on this. Not entrapping idiots in perjury or dirty businessmen in the past investigation?

But you believe this is a huge success, good. Imagine if this goes on for another 7 months. Maybe before its done they will snare one or two more for lying to them and find more skeletons in someone's ones past.

I don't like Trump but if this is all they come up with its a huge waste of time and not good for the country. Unless you are someone who hates Trump and wants some sort of payback for him winning the election.

I believe it HAS been confirmed this morning that Trump and his campaign should've been aware that their emails wouldn't be privileged.

So the claims by Fox News saying that Muellers team improperly obtsomed the emails is fake news


. Expect a retraction from Fox News in the next 48 hours

ILLEGALLY obtained.

No surprise that DNC shills would omit that salient fact from the thread title.

I like him and so do the people in the majority of States.

He fired Comey because the documents in the Hillary investigative illusion, proved he was corrupted.
Comey broke the federal law on many occasions.
Conspiring and colluding to Obstruct Justice.
