WASHINGTON — The chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Wednesday that they would welcome Facebook’s making public the 3,000 advertisements turned over to the panel that the company has found were tied to a Russian influence campaign. The committee itself, they said, would not release the ads.

“We don’t release documents provided to our committee, period,” said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., the chair of the committee. “Clearly if any of the social media companies would like to do that, we’re fine with them doing it.

1. I realize the article is from YahooNews and they are as Leftist as they come.

2. I did see a story on the news when I was at the gym, so it's being picked up something other than Yahoo

3. The level of desperation that is setting in and increasing, I might add, is starting to make more of a mockery out of something that is already a mockery, the US Senate, Senate Intel Committee, Congress

4. One of their own, The Nation - not exactly the most conservative outlet, out there, does the research and finds that it wasn't a hack but a leak from inside.

5. THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SPENT TAXPAYER MONEY TO INTERFERE WITH THE ISRAELI ELECTION AND DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO HIDE IT.

Virginia is a lost cause if they can send a guy like Warner to the Senate.

So, I just got this email from someone....

Remember when Donald Trump was business partners with the Russian government and his company got $53 million from the Russian government investment fund called Rusnano that was started by Vladimir Putin and is referred to as “Putin’s Child?”
Oh wait, that wasn’t Trump; it was John Podesta.

Remember when Donald Trump received $500,000 for a speech in Moscow and paid for by Renaissance Capital, a company tied to Russian Intelligence Agencies?
Oh wait, that was Bill Clinton.

Remember when Donald Trump approved the sale of 20% of U.S. uranium to the Russians while he was Secretary of State which gave control of it to Rosatom the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation?
Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton.

Remember when Donald Trump lied about that and said he wasn’t a part of approving the deal that gave the Russians 1/5 of our uranium, but then his e-mails were leaked showing he did lie about it?
Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton and John Podesta.

Remember when Donald Trump got $145 million from shareholders of the uranium company sold to the Russians?
Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

Remember when Donald Trump accepted millions in donations from Russian oligarchs like the chairman of a company that’s part of the Russian Nuclear Research Cluster, the wife of the mayor of Moscow and a close pal of Putin’s?
Oh wait, that was the Clinton Foundation.

Remember when Donald Trump failed to disclose all those donations before becoming the Secretary of State, and it was only found out when a journalist went through Canadian tax records?
Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton

Remember when Donald Trump told Mitt Romney that the ‘80s called and it wanted its Russian policy back. The Cold War is over?
Oh wait, that was President Obama.
