I don't think there was collusion by Trump. But all those dear Russians. Something happened. And Trump is guilty of money laundering, which is a crime.

Do tell...when did all this come out? Or has it?

Former FBI agent Clinton Watts testified on the Hill about the "trail of dead Russians."

Don't feed the trolls. Nothing you can say will change its mind so why bother?

It feels like the train of justice is accelerating.

And it's on the same track as the Trump Train. The two are on a collision course.

Rank and file FBI agents respected Comey. This has hit most hard.

And you know that by how, pulling it out of your arse?

Multiple friends and associates work in the Agency and their accounts substantiated by journalistic sources, included the NY Times, WaPo, and others. Hate him, love him, or feel somewhere in between, Comey was broadly respected by the people at the FBI.

BTW - I'm not a Comey fan, but am troubled that the POTUS fired him as retaliation of Comey's continued investigation into Trump's campaign Russia ties. That's obstruction of justice. The fact that the GOP is watching this abuse and doing nothing about it, is disgraceful.

No. Unlike you, that is not where we put newspapers.

I truly do not understand the people who claim that there was probably something going on between Trump's team and Russia but that Trump himself didn't know/wasn't involved. That is particularly ludicrous.

That doesn't mean they dislike him, but it does mean they lost respect for him. They take pride in their role.

But, Bill Maher has said it best--this is Bill Clinton's fault. He started this fiasco. Not Donald Trump.

Oh please. Like the Trump train would have respected Loretta Lynch's ruling on HRC even if she had been able to make one.

Nope. That would have been political, as well. If it weren't, she would have recused herself. Please remember, it was just luck that we even heard about the airplane visit. It was not supposed to be public information.

As far as the FBI investigation into Clinton, Comey summed up the infractions--but, there was not much new in what he revealed. It had mostly been in the papers. Destroying evidence after it had been subpoenaed--and, yet, no charges? Pretty sure that there would have been an outcry.

I know that you want to believe there is collusion with the Russians--but there is no evidence. Clapper said so. Feinstein said so. I believe that Flynn broke some laws, but I think it unlikely that there was collusion there, either. So, where is the crime?

There has been extensive reporting about the contacts between Roger Stone and Guccifer2.0 tart with that and follo the reporting and digital trail.

I didn't know POTUS could unilaterally fire the FBI director.

Of course the president can fire the FBI director. The president is head of the executive branch of government. The FBI is part of the executive branch.

Nah, it has more to do with the fact that the FBI has been trying to seek Trump's financial records.

And why hasn't Huma been charged for forwarding classified info to her pervert husband?

Because it didn't happen.

Yes it did. But no one cares about her. She won't be charged.

Comey must have been getting close to sharing evidence of Treason.

I agree. Bill Clinton stepping on to Lynch's airplane for an ex-parte discussion with her during a federal investigation is egregious.

HRC should have been indited.

This is egregious, and Loretta Lynch was my boss. She was a great U.S. Attorney, but this ex party meeting was unethical. It is not, however, direct evidence against HRC.

GOP doing nothing about it = complicit, aiding and abetting, accomplices and given the number of them helping with the coverup = racketeering. The smallest crack could easily turn into a massive tear that will destroy the GOP. Yet they keep engaging in patently stupid and bad behavior around this.

The tarmac meeting wasn't "leaked."

It was supposed to be a secret. There just happened to be a local reporter at the airport. So, it was kind of Leaked.

This is true. Bill would never have done it if he knew a reporter was watching.

We are on track.

Nixon wasn't "kicked out." He resigned before being impeached. Had he not resigned, it is highly doubtful that he would have been convicted. Several Republicans would have had to defect. I never supported Nixon, but to his credit, he never wanted to put the country into a crisis. When JFK won the election, it was because so many dead people voted in Illinois. Nixon could have contested the result but decided that it would be too traumatic for the country. Similarly, a Senate trial would have been traumatic for the nation. Presidents can be impeached, but they are very difficult to convict. Two presidents have been impeached, neither was convicted, and Nixon could not have been convicted without the support of several Republican senators.

More than "several Republicans" were absolutely going to defect, notably Barry Goldwater. That's why he resigned.
