    There was Russians involved in the Steele Dossier. How could there not be given that it was the Russians, not Christopher Steele, who had alleged tapes of Trump with Prostitutes?

    The Dossier was paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC and the allegation that Trump was working with the Russians was made by Clinton during the campaign. How would she know that?

    So it was more that British foreign Intelligence here, it was also Russian, Italian, and Australian involvement. Most of that is out already. https://www.wsj.com/articles/key-cl...ian-american-business-group-source-1485253804

    Results of Mueller Investigation to date:

    Paul Manafort - in prison
    Michael Cohen - in prison
    Michael Flynn - pleaded guilty
    George Papadopoulos - pleaded guilty, served jail time
    Rick gates - pleaded guilty, still cooperating with FBI
    Alex Van der Zwaan - pleaded guilty, sentenced and expelled from the US
    Richard Pinedo - pleaded guilty
    Konstantin Kilmnik (Russian) -indicted
    Roger Stone - indicted, awaiting trial
    13 Russian Nationals - indicted - Conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to commit wire/ bank fraud, identity theft
    12 Russian Military Officers - indicted - Conspiracy to commit computer crimes, identity theft, money laundering

    the entire investigation could turn a profit for the government, thanks to Paul Manafort’s asset forfeiture. Manafort agreed to forfeit real estate and cash estimated to be worth between $42 million and $46 million.

    BTW, pleading 'guilty' is an automatic conviction.

    Manafort, convicted and awaiting sentencing.

    Popadapoulas, convicted.

    Alex van der Zwann, convicted and sentenced to 30 days, then deported out of the U.S. and told not to come back.

    Michael Flynn, pleaded guilty, soon to be sentenced.

    And by the way, the Mueller investigation stands to make a profit.
    • Mueller may have also paid for his own investigation.
    • That’s because, as part of his plea deal with the special counsel, Manafort agreed to forfeit real estate and cash estimated to be worth between $42 million and $46 million.

    What a bizarre way to see this issue. But you said it. Yes sir, you said it.

    The bunch of Trump supporters here are going to try to deflect to Hillary, to the Steele Dossier, to Uranium One, to the Easter Bunny if necessary rather than face the fact that Trump is a despotic man who only serves himself, not this country. By supporting such a heinous man, they are in fact complicit with the overthrowing of the democracy of this country.

    Are you still blaming Hillary's loss on the Russians?

    And Trump is still your president. The only thing that protected your side is immunity and the 5th. My question is, from what?

    Joe Biden

    "President Trump is once again welcoming foreign interference in our elections. This isn't about politics. It is a threat to our national security. An American President should not seek their aid and abet those who seek to undermine democracy." -- posted Twitter

    Bernie Sanders
    "Well, Anderson, to tell you the truth, I'm not exactly shocked. I think we have a president who neither understand the constitution of the United States or respects the constitution. Somebody who doesn't believe in the separation of powers.And somebody who thinks he's above the law." -- said on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360

    Elizabeth Warren
    "The #MuellerReport made it clear: A foreign government attacked our 2016 elections to support Trump, Trump welcomed that help, and Trump obstructed the investigation. Now, he said he'd do it all over again. It's time to impeach Donald Trump." -- posted on Twitter

    Kamala Harris
    "He's the commander in chief and has a duty and a responsibility to the American people to be a defender if not the greatest defender of our democracy. But to quite the contrary, what we hear tonight is that he is yet again open to the idea of working with foreign governments to undermine the integrity of our election system. It's outrageous." -- said on MSNBC

    Beto O'Rourke
    "When the President of the United States openly welcomes foreign help to win an election, he threatens the very core of our democracy. If we are to secure justice and ensure this never happens again, we must impeach him." -- posted on Twitter

    Amy Klobuchar
    "This is inexcusable. The President of the United States just effectively gave permission to foreign agents to interfere in our elections. We need my Secure Elections Act and Honest Ads Act passed immediately. The 2020 elections are not secure. Disgraceful." -- posted on Twitter

    Cory Booker
    "It's not 'oppo research' — it's foreign interference in US elections. That you would say this is disgraceful. That you would do it from the Oval Office (yet again) proves you're unfit for the office you hold." -- posted on Twitter


    Michael Benet
    "My reaction is that this is weak and pathetic. This is what he has been doing since the beginning of his presidency even before he was president He said wikileaks if you're out there, send me the stuff. He said Russia, if you're out there, send me the stuff.

    "Now he's actually president of the United States, and he's effectively inviting foreign interference into our election. He has never held Putin responsible for what Putin did. And he stood next to Putin and said I take his word for it.

    "Every single Western democracy is under attack from Russia, and the President of the United States needs to be someone who stands up not just for America but for our allies as well, and he's failed that test again." -- said on CNN

    Seth Moulton
    "The definition of collusion from the man guilty of obstruction." -- posted on Twitter

    Julian Castro
    "After seeking and receiving the help of our adversaries to to get elected in 2016, Donald Trump is now essentially calling for an open season on our 2020 elections. Once again, he's putting his interests above our nation's, and risking and the integrity of our elections." -- posted on Twitter

    Jay Inslee
    "Let's be clear: Donald Trump is talking about conspiring with a foreign government to win an election — again. This is dangerous and un-American." -- posted on Twitter

    Kirsten Gillibrand
    "It's time for Congress to begin impeachment hearings." -- posted on Twitter


    Eric Swalwell
    "Let me make it clear for @realDonaldTrump, I will never take dirt from a foreign adversary — EVEN if it means beating someone as corrupt as you. *But Trump said every Congressman would take the help. So, every @HouseGOP member should have to answer this: is Trump right?" -- posted on Twitter

    Steve Bullock
    "1-800-CALL-FBI

    If he's telling foreign countries to dig up dirt on political opponents, it's no wonder he also made it easier to pour dark and foreign money into our elections. In MT, we banned foreign spending altogether. Together we can take that nationwide." -- posted on Twitter

    Republican William Weld
    I have previously called for Donald Trump to resign for the good of the country. This latest statement again proves we have a president with no respect for the rule of law and lacking a basic sense of right and wrong. Mr. President, resign. For once in your life put the good of the country first. America deserves better.

    If Clinton wasn’t a traitorous criminal then we couldn’t deflect to her, could we?

    BTW, I love Trump. MAGA.

    Here's a hypothetical scenario. Take a foreign president, say Obama and say he went to the UK and helped the Remain side to convince the public to vote Remain in the Brexit referendum, do you think that's acceptable?

    Oh, hang on, it's not hypothetical, the idiot did that.

    It's all one, all connected, except for the Easter Bunny. Watch the investigations now underway and you'll see why and how.

    You seem to be totally uninformed of the information that has come out from the FOIA's and testimony that is being declassified. Quit with the DailyKos information.

    Wouldn't it be great if they had some sort of intelligence or general knowledge test before people were allowed access to post?
