    President Trump asked two of the nations top intelligence officials in March to help him push back against an FBI investigation into possible coordination between his campaign and the Russian government, according to current and former officials.

    THAT RIGHT THERE, is an IMPEACHABLE offense. He will plead STUPID @#$#$. But it aint gonna cut it. It is ON. And Pense is KNOWN to have lied. Several times. He is dirty too.

    They may have to jog down to the minority leader. I think that's how it goes. And this is JUST THE BEGINNING.

    Hasn't the mainstream media burned you enough already after making you believe Clinton would win the 2016 election?

    The liberal media is lying worse than the Soviet Union's Pravda. They're using unnamed sources and the named sources are refusing to talk. It's pure BS, plain and simple.

    unnamed sources again?

    You do know, I hope, that if Trump had done this, then not taking it to a superior or congress would implicate that unnamed official as well as Trump. So if one goes to prison, both go to prison.

    Seriously, nobody who matters believes you and your legacy media nonsense with unnamed sources any more.

    After swearing to us that Clinton would win in 2016 I'm surprised you are even brave enough show yourself around here anymore.

    Oh look, more unnamed sources "according to current and former officials." Translation, former Obama appointees with axes to grind?

    No, Trump rightly fired a man who is incompetent and dems wanted to fire as well.

    Yeah well, if it goes down. The problem is if you believe rags like the washington post with their unnamed sources, then that's you.

    Good luck with believing those morons. They're going to embarrass you for beliving them time after time after time. In fact, any time you believe some unnamed source, you're going to be embarrassed. It sullies your reputation by believing an already sullied source.

    An innocent man would welcome an investigation because he knows it would clear him.
    Trump seems to be attempting to stop any and all investigations.

    To stoke your irrational fears. There's no evidence Russia colluded with Trump's people. And so Trump fired him.

    So Trump implicated himself in an impeachable offence just to piss me off?

    I'm honored

    Would you welcome five or ten criminal investigations based on unnamed sources because you know it would clear you?

    Sorry, but your logic is flawed. You're already cleared because of the concept of innocent until proven guilty.

    You really don't understand how the justice system works, but believe me, you don't want to be sitting in a court hoping that the facts will be good enough to keep you out of prison.

    Hardly. You are making a GIANT LEAP from rightful firing to a crime being committed without any evidence. When you have a crime to tell us then do so, but no one else has it either. The crimes that should and likely will be investigated are those who unmasked American citizens listening to Russians and then leaked it to the liberal media, aka "unnamed sources."

    More clumsy Fake News. This kind of obvious fiction just further reduces the credibility of the MSM - it will expand the base of support for Trump.

    Firing the guy who is investigating your friends (and very likely YOU) is obstruction of justice

    And yet Trump has ignored the grand jury investigation into Flynn and the leaks. I wonder why the MSM is not covering that investigation front and center everyday? ;-) Here is a hint:

    “That all of these officials committed major crimes can hardly be disputed. In January, CNN reported that Flynn’s calls with the Russians “were captured by routine U.S. eavesdropping targeting the Russian diplomats.” That means that the contents of those calls were “obtained by the processes of communication intelligence from the communications of [a] foreign government,” which in turn means that anyone who discloses them — or reports them to the public — is guilty of a felony under the statute.” THE INTERCEPT, The Leakers Who Exposed Gen. Flynn’s Lie Committed Serious — and Wholly Justified — Felonies, By, Glenn Greenwald, February 14 2017.
