    Yet sadly it's completely inconsequential. ::): Schiff and Nadler are nobodies running fools errands for 23 unremarkable DNC 2020 candidates.

    He's just doing what Obama did. Obama knew what the Russians were doing and didn't do anything to stop it.
    Why was that OK?

    McConnell is blocking ANY plan to do ANYTHING in 2020... or 2019 (and did in 2018) ....

    McConnell is a human traffic cone

    McConnell is human police tape...

    Actually, I'm not sure McConnell IS human, so I'm rethinking those first 2....

    Didja see Nancy with her list of McConnell blocked House approved legislations this AM?? 9 bills in the shape of a tombstone....

    Cheesy, but effectively funny...

    He did.... It clearly wasn't enough and was too little/too late, but while those excuses are somewhat lame, they ARE excuses....

    What's Trump's excuse??

    Oh yeah.. Russian Hoax.... I keep forgetting how out of touch he is with reality...

    Obama learned the DNC was hacked by the Russians. And what did he do when he learned about it? Nada! He said he didn't want it to interfere with the elections. Huh?!

    Yep and when he went to McConnell he was shot down. Why didn't your "patriots" stand with him on Russian election interference?

    The Barr etc investigations are what are inconsequential, which makes the right wing rage.

    Wrong as usual. Gina Haspel is already vowing to stonewall the DOJ documents requests. Haspel being the London CIA station chief at the time Papadopoulos was being framed, Gina's justifiably nervous. I said "being framed" -vs- being spied on because it turns out Joseph Mifsud is CIA. AG Barr & Durham are asking questions they already have the answers to. REALLY ironic, and sorta prophetic :;): that Adam Schiff exhumed the rotten corpse of John Dean. :lol: Watergate being the last time CIA agents were sent to prison for targeting their political opponents, and trying to cover up the crimes they commited for their president. Remind me who was president in May 2016. ::):

    See, I told you that it would go nowhere, and now you and Barr are fuming.

    This is what every single one of you say when pushed about what you think is in the report.

    None of you have ever posted something from the report that would in any way get Trump into trouble and yes I have read it multiple times which is why I know what I'm talking about.

    Never once does Mueller say he has found direct evidence of obstruction.

    He found no direct evidence of obstruction and say so.

    He says it can't be determined either way.

    How do you expect that to change into something concrete that you can use to impeach him with?

    :roflol: I can't remember a more calmly composed US AG. It's your favorite congressmen who are fuming. AG Barr can't be brow beaten, silenced, threatened, or smeared. One day soon you'll thank Barr for bringing Obama and his criminal disciples to justice.

    *** fuming :) Barr is not happy and that cannot be reconciled with the facts. His investigations are not going anywhere. Haspel told him 'no', and that is the end of it. The intel agencies and the FBI will send foreign interference directly to the House and Senate leaders in this coming election.

    ^^ ::): ^^AG Barr stated publicly that FBI personnel haven't "reconciled" the discrepancies between their answers to investigators, and documents in his possession. Nixon's CIA director went much further than saying "no" and that futile "resistance" ended particularly badly. As far as interference goes, it was congress in 2014 who alerted Obama to the 2016 scheme, so what good comes of keeping congress BEHIND the curve, when congress being AHEAD of the curve accomplished nothing? Oh! found some more "**** fuming" for you. ::):

    Trump is owned by the Russians, he has an understanding with McConnell.

    Trump has been owned by the Russians for twenty years or more. Russian gangsters laundered money through his failing Atlantic City casinos and kept him afloat until he could get out from under his deals. They have been the financiers, of every single project of his since then. They trasnsformed him from New York City developer to front man for money launderers.

    That he colluded with the Russians in 2016 is no longer in doubt.

    Yesterday, he advertised that he would gladly do it again.

    McConnell has built his career and his power on controlling the money. He is the guy who tells the Foster Freises, DeVos’s, Koch’s, Adelson’s et al who to write checks to.

    And Trump gave him the gift of direct control of the nation’s transportation funding, by installing the Senator’s wife as Secretary of Transportation.

    The media is missing the point in the Elaine Chao scandal. It isn’t that Chao is steering money to her husband’s pet projects. It’s that Chao controls all the money, and that McConnell’s advance man is her chief of staff.

    Control all the money, and you dictate which Senator or Congressman gets their pet project funded.

    McConnell served Trump consistently. When Trump needed to get Manafort out of his debt to Russian gangster Oleg Deripashka, Trump unilaterally cancelled specific sanctions on Deripashka’s businesses.

    McConnell made sure that efforts by the Senate to enforce their own laws, McConnell blocked it.

    In return, Deripashka promised a $200 million facility in McConnell’s district.

    No one with any real knowledge of the already well documented facts would not make a fool of themselves by making such an obviously false claim.

    We’re seeing a lot of attempts at projection like this one.

    They’re not even very smart.

    The fact that the Russians deployed a sophictacated cyber attack against the US beginning in 2013. It is still ongoing.

    We know that it reached almost as many Americans as voted in 2016.

    Right wing and Trump supporters on this forum parroted Russians disinformation regularly beginning in 2014, and reaching its peak (for the moment) in the fall of 2016.

    I have no idea whether you parroted this stuff, but most of the more prominent Trump supporters here did. (As did all of my right wing FB friends).

    It wasn’t Democrats who fell for “memes on FB and Twitter”. It was Trump supporters.
