WRONG! There isn’t even any smoke.

“…several [Senate Intelligence] committee sources grudgingly say, it feels as though the investigation will be seen as a sham if the Senate doesn’t find a silver bullet connecting Trump and Russian intelligence operatives.” One member told Watkins: “I don’t think the conclusions are going to meet people’s expectations.”

Extremely difficult when no crime has been committed. The Deep State can manufacture evidence, but that is fraught with danger. Frankly, they're not very good at it, and it only takes one blabbermouth living long enough to spill the beans to really create a bad situation and have the whole thing blow up in their face.

“On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russians here, there is smoke, but there is no fire at all,” he said, adding, “There’s no little campfire, there’s no little candle, there’s no spark. And there’s a lot of people looking for it.” (snip)

...

That’s the Democrat way of saying it’s all lies.

If Trump would stop acting guilty this thing would end. But now he has made it seem that if they find nothing it was a cover up. Trump has been stupid lately. Everything from the firing of Comey onward has been a stupid mistake by Trump. He should have predicted what would happen.

What Smoke? I wish just once a Republican would challenge a ( cough cough ) reporter to name a single, minuscule, atomic, shred of real evidence.

Can you show us even the tiniest scrap of evidence that would qualify as smoke? So far all I’ve seen are the billowing clouds of vapor from the DNC and MSM fog machines.

Remember when the House and Senate looked like this?



These days it looks more like this.



Republicans, how about more of this?  Thanks in advance.

Actually, this is true only if by their “base,” they mean the media, academia and upper middle class special interes groups (gays, etc.). I actually read a Dem state senator (forgotten the state) complaining that the party seemed to have no interest in the “real needs,” which she said were health care, “inequality,” etc, - naming the usual Dem faux grievances - but instead just wanted to go on and on about Russia, Russia, Russia.

I think the ones they should really regard as their base - that would be the people who voted for them - find the party elite’s obsession with getting rid of Trump to be of diminishing interest and even are suspecting that it’s a cover up for their inability to actually get anything done for their voters.

LMAO. Trump has been baiting the morons for months with Russia and the tax returns.

Too late now dumbocrats. Your base will eat you alive if you don’t deliver the goods.

Here’s what I think happened:
They poll tested impeachment and the polls where poor. They’re happy enough having a special council keep a noose around Trump’s neck. They’ll use it for endless fake news leaks to harm him politically and use it to hang him if he really tries to reform the government.

If I were to think of something that would explain the FBI and explain Trumps weird actions, I would come up with this theory of which I have no evidence but it does make everything make sense.

If Jared, who ran the Austin campaign group, were to have worked with some guys who happened to be employed by Russia. Then a lot of things make sense. Jared’s group worked the internet. He was the one who jumped on every internet poll. He reacted quickly to any anti trump press on the internet. He repeated Trump’s message on every blog.

Lets say that somewhere along the way he was helped. Or that he inadvertently communicated with the Russians even without knowing it. And sometime afterwards, even very recently, Trump finds out the FBI is going after his favorite Son-in-law and therefore his daughter. Now he assumes Jared is being unfairly sucked into a fight between him and democrats. He asks, then he demands, but the FBI won’t stop the process. It keeps going on. And he hears rumors or leaks get out with half truths. And Comey won’t bring it to a conclusion nor can he stop the leaks. So Trump fires him. And then the FBI team starts to rain leaks on The New York Times and Washington Post causing Trump to explode. He has no patience, so he does one stupid thing after another and can’t stop himself.

Anyway, that is the theory I am going with until some new facts come out which cause me to dream up something else.

If they think it going to boomerang bad now because there is no collusion of Trump and Russia

Imaging what going to happen when they find out there was no Russian hack of the DNC at all ........it was a big lie.. and the leak was from an insider...that just so happen to have been murder

The Dem and the press have created a lynch mob.. and it just might turn on them when the see how the been played and lied to.....the Russian hack is the Benghazi video tape story... × 10 million...the Russian hack of the DNC is the biggest lie ever in American politics told by the biggest liars in American politics.. and it just might wake a few useful idiots of the left up

RHINOS connected the dots a few seconds later, having no smoke alarms, no inside information, no clue.

No fire at all and the only smoke is being created by the media and dimoKKKRATS.

The Democrats now find themselves in the position of Victor Frankenstein, who created a monster that he could not control. He lamented: “I live in daily fear, lest the monster whom I had created should perpetrate some new wickedness.” But of course, he maintained basic morality, which led to fears of wickedness being perpetrated. For the Dems, the sole consideration is the damage the monster they created  — which looks more like the peasants with pitchforks and torches storming the castle than it does like the monster himself – turning on them.


Concluding paragraph. Nice word picture.
