He reportedly brought a big contingent of attorneys with him to Mar-a-lago this weekend. |

Frankly, I think they are looking at how to handle the next investigation - the one about the FISA warrants and how this investigation got started to begin with. Remember, everyone has been saying the Carter Page warrant was the start of this. Yet, he has been charged with nothing. NADA. That was a ruse. Lots to still be uncovered about this story. |

Would add that if the behavior we already know about (Russia if you are listening etc) is ok according to our current laws and regulations perhaps we should focus on changing our laws and regulations to reduce the likelihood of our political leaders being influenced by malign foreign actors We should learn exactly what is in the report so we know where the soft spots are so we can protect our democracy and our national security in the future. I guarantee the Russians and Saudis already know where those soft spots are. |

It should be pretty easy to prove collusion between the media and Dem politicians. |

I have never understood why we have this division. Yes, it's always been there, but certainly not to the extent we're divided today. You can't have government w/o business. Businesses employ people. They generate taxes, which are used to fund social programs, to improve and maintain infrastructure, to pay for salaries, etc. But we've never found that balance between business and government b/c Big Biz is synonymous with lobbying, which creates quite a few bedfellows who are no longer strange in our eyes. They are more the norm. I look at these candidates today and they are pushing for social reform. But you can't do that w/o figuring out how to keep businesses healthy and thriving w/o growing into an empire of crooked CEOs. So a new wave of democrats MUST work both ends of the spectrum. How can you involve Big Biz in reforming communities? How do you encourage small businesses to grow w/o being in the shadows of some monopoly? Unfortunately, so many in the upper echelons of any large corporation are unethical and greedy. What protections have we reinforced to ensure this doesn't continue? Surely there are ethical business folks who simply wish to give back. Not everyone is a greedy ogre. But how do you encourage that w/o enabling a takeover on their end? Discovery is one example. Rather than looking inward and taking the advice of teachers on the front lines, we look outward, thinking some company will have the magic powder that will grow brains. We flip back and forth between the extremes in education, which only harms the very people who SHOULD be running our country in the future. But the state of education has only encouraged companies to prey upon the weak systems. I think of the public money used to buy some corporate product that really doesn't improve quality of instruction in the least. It's another band aid. So how do you look to businesses to share their person-power in these cases? in donating money toward homework clubs, toward renovating older buildings where kids can safely remain after school? toward donating TIME to work with some our struggling kids? That's the flip we need, which is indeed humanitarian. The international front is a whole other story, however, as there's no way to win with a bully. So you continue to form coalitions with others who share your beliefs. But what are these beliefs anyway? We're sort of like a company that's under redesign. That means we have to look inward in order to re-establish our norms in how we work, our core values, our beliefs. Do we value immigrants or not? And if so, how do we care for newcomers while at the same time figuring out what to do with our homeless, our children living in poverty, our own incarcerated citizens? Again, where's the balance? So we can't help to keep the world safe when we don't even know who we are as a country. off my soapbox now . .. |

LOL, Trump’s not going to spend his weekend on that when there’s golf to be played. That can wait until next week. |

Stop acting as though this FISA warrant issuance was made to stop foreign interference in our elections.
All Americans wished for the cessation of foreign intervention in our elections. These corrupt actors used our surveillance laws for political gain. The politically motivated actors used the information they learned about the Russian efforts to interfere and used the tactics in the Alabama Senate race! New Knowledge bought "Dry Alabama" facebook page with the donations of yet another benefactor. Don't you DARE tell me younhad altrustic goals when corrupt mfers borrowed the Russian tactics and used them ON US! Disgusting. |

So all those indictments were based on thin air? Okay. |

It is baffling that you are more concerned about the process than you are about the massive findings of wrongdoing that the process uncovered, given there have been 34 felony indictments of individuals and three companies and those are just the unsealed ones, not to mention all of the other state and federal investigations that have spun up as a result of findings, and those are just the findings we know of based on what limited information has been revealed as a result of court proceedings to date, and much, like Roger Stone has not even hit the courts yet for us to even get a full understanding yet. For Republicans to think in any way that all is vindicated and that the offense is "leaks" or warrant process is thoroughly ludicrous. |

It is baffling to me that you are more concerned with some process crimes that happened only as a result of this investigation and not the potential misuse of the FISA process and the laws that were broken in order to get a democratically elected president out of office. Just a note - you all love to throw around the number 34. Only 6 of those people were directly associated with Trump. The rest are mostly Russians who will never see a prison. And, of those 6 associated with Trump, most have been charged with lying to investigators... a crime that would never had happened had this investigation not been started. If we have people who stepped far outside the law in order to surveil American citizens, you can be damned sure this concerns me. It should concern every American. |
