    What was Obama doing for 3 years, if anything? Did he told Putin to stop it?

    Do Democrats realize trying to ban foreign nationals from involvement in elections would make all their organizing of illegal immigrants the biggest issue in this context?

    Obama informed the Trump campaign what the Russians were doing. He "did nothing" to avoid looking like he was favoring the Clinton campaign. The Trump campaign ignored Obama's warning for obvious reasons.

    Oh, so it’s the security guard’s fault that the crooks robbed the bank.

    I get it.

    Actually, the Obama Administration imposed tough sanctions on Russian oligarchs, closed Russian intelligence facilities on Long Island, Maryland and San Francisco, and declared a host of FSB operative persona non grata.

    Some Trumpters have falsely tried to claim that Trump did these things. But these are the usual lies.

    In fact, the Trump Administration openly floated reopening the Russian facilities, and Mike Flynn told the Russian FSB head of station in the us that Trump would remove the sanctions.

    Indeed, Trump did remove the sanctions on one specific Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripashka (who owned Paul Manafort). McConnell dutifully blocked the Senate from exercising its Constitutional authority to stop Trump, and was rewarded with $200 million in pork from the Russians for his district.

    The far right continues to project their fears and their fumbling efforts to retain power onto their political enemies.

    Yep. I've known for a long time that Mitch McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao both have dirty hands. But now I'm certain that Mitch is tied to the Russians. There's just no other reason why he's obstructing every piece of good legislation that comes across his desk. He's following the orders of the Kremlin.

    he isn't owned by Russia. He is owned by Trump and wants his support to be reelected. McConnell is as patriotic as a hole in the wall.

    Then you must have read a different report than I did. It was very clearly laid out.

    Oh wait. You probably didn't read it at all, and took that hack Barrs word for it. That would explain much.

    Still, better "nothing" than "Thank you sir, may I have another?"

    Yes, he is lying about that.

    He made up a “quote” from the conclusion of part II of the Mueller Report.

    I quoted the entire thing back to him and challenged him to back up his false claim.

    He ran and hid,

    Do you realize those first 2 sentences are DIRECTLY contradictory?? DIRECTLY...

    1000+ former federal prosecutors disagree with Bill Barr... How can you continue to believe that what's in Volume 2, which is said to be enough to sustain an indictment were he not president, would not be enough to clear the mucho lower bar of impeachment??

    Actually, I don't mean How, since anybody can delude themselves on anything, but Why??

    You should know.

    Trumpsters are the best “useful idiot” for their cause that they have ever had.

    Since we arent allowed to call big fat liars, liars on these forums, its much better to just say they are willfully ignorant? I dunno. Its a fine line sadly when we cant call out a liar to be a liar. But such are the rules of the forums.

    What would you have had him do, Mr. Tough Guy??

    At least he recognized it when it was happening...... Your boy cannot recognize it 2.5 years AFTER it happened...

    The Trumpers have read a different report than the one issued by Mueller.

    You wonder why Barr is pissed that his "anti" and "spying" messages can't get traction.

    He warned Trump, who did nothing and who is still doing nothing to help ensure his reelection. Oh, he is doing something by giving his intelligence community ZERO support.

    And the intel community is searching far and wide for damning evidence against Trump, as well they should.

    Take a few moments to imagine the worst possible description for the worst possible politician living today, & you'll be describing Mitch McConnell. McConnell helps a select few millionaires in KY happy, while he screws the rest of the country KY is a part of. God only knows why the voters of KY keep sending him back to Washington DC. :(
