I'm not saying it's cracked. I'm saying that people who have actually been briefed say Putin never thought Trump would win. Whether it's true or not, I don't know any more than you. But it certainly hurts the story Trump coordinated with Putin.

I just feel this is all a distraction. Of course we should all pay close attention to any evidence revealed or anything from someone from the agencies or from the intelligence committee.  If Trump did work with Russia to hack the DNC, or to coordinate anything from said hack, he should be impeached without question. But there's no evidence to support this despite an 8 month investigation. No analyst has blown a whistle ala Snowden. No Senator has come forward stating there's classified evidence proving collusion, asking on Congress to act. Not a single fucking thing.

So we've spent weeks talking about a crime drama, and no one is really giving much thought to Gorsuch or the brand new health care law Ryan is putting up. No discussion on the shit that really matters. We're arguing over fantasy rather than saying "maybe we shouldn't cut this agency" or "maybe we should give Gorsuch a fair hearing".

That's the gag. This is what Russia wanted. We're arguing over the plot of an ABC drama and not doing a fucking thing to Russia. It's not even a story asking for consequences. Everyone has forgot. We still don't have a full cabinet and it's been 60 days without a single bill out of congress that means dick. Trump is fighting over immigrants from 6 countries no one fucking cares about and whom we lack any formal diplomatic ties with one. I can't recall the last person from Sudan who shot up a mall or blew up a recruiting office. So it seems like we already had this pretty much under control.  None of this has to do with the Presidents power to increase external security, but it affects no one and is a total waste of time. Petty bullshit and internal drama. And we're falling for it hook line and sinker.

Is it a story, absolutely. The people have a right to know. Just as they had a right to know the FBI was "investigating" Clinton in July. But since guys like Mitch only post to see their own ideas and not read what others think, he misses that I called and still do think, for Comey to resign based on the letter he sent. But him resigning now with Trump's investigation would be a bad decision.

There's an investigation which Comey can't comment on. He further clarified his lack of comment should not be read into as possible wrong doing.

That's the problem. All of you for months have been posting about Trump's collusion with Putin. Comey came out today and said in the only way possible there is nothing to support this suspicion.

We knew there was classified material on Clinton's server. There was evidence of wrong doing. That's not the case with Trump and to conflate the two is nothing short of partisan hysteria.

It's been a non issue since day one when not a single Democrat, with all the leaks, could provide a single shred of evidence. That hasn't changed. It's fan fiction for those unwilling to accept they lost the election.
