On April 7 : Rep. Devin Nunes says Democrats are using Russia investigation to justify Clinton's lo
Los Angeles Times ^ | May 30, 2017 | Sara D. Wire

Embattled House Select Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes told hundreds of local Republicans at a recent private dinner fundraiser that congressional investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election are about Democrats trying to justify Hillary Clinton’s loss. [snip]

"I went and looked at what I knew existed on the unmaskings, but what I found was a treasure trove of stuff that’s really bad in terms of surveillance on Americans and that is critical to the job that I have as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee," Nunes said. "It’s really horrible because it endangers America, because the work that our intelligence professionals do is so critical to our safety, to have an administration, a past administration, abuse these powers and put our country in jeopardy, there’s nothing, there’s no words that can explain the damage they’ve done and the damage that they’ve created. I said, well, I said we have a problem here. And I knew they weren’t going to tell the president.”....Basically what I said, I said, ‘Well, screw you,’” Nunes said. The crowd laughed and applauded. “So I did something that they never thought I would do and I stepped aside, and I gave them a gift.” That gift is Trey Gowdy, Tom Rooney and Mike Conaway...

he says, “I’ll be backkk”. Doesn’t seem any reporters are interested in the ethics committee thingy so it must not be very exciting.

...that congressional investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election are about Democrats trying to justify Hillary Clinton’s loss.

That's all this Russian bullcrap is. This can be proven from the recent Kushner "back channel" story. Now, according to the Dems, the Trump team colluded with the Russians to win the election. Now if that were the case- collusion with the Russians - why on earth would Kushner need to set up a back channel to communicate with them after the election? It would seem that "back channel" would have already existed - otherwise, how would they have colluded with the Russians? This just shows the whole Russian "collusion" thing is complete BS.

The Trump/Russia conspiracy theory was cooked up to cover the spying on Trump campaign and other Americans

What these so called “blue states” like California, New York, and Illinois need are conservative straight talking congressional candidates. They need to remind voters this primary fact: “Government money is your money”. When they discuss issues like abortion and so called women’s rights call it for what it is. “Government funded baby killing”. Using your money to do this.

Democrats plead and support such issues as “Sanctuary Cities and states”, pervert the value of citizenship. Use your tax dollars and diverts them which should be going to citizens in need.

They are parasitic perverts. Taking your money as they go about beating their breast telling you what a great person they are. As they use your money to give to people who are non citizens to live expense free and more often than not also take work away from certain segments of citizenry. Then tell you “we need to raise your taxes”.

WSJ’s Strassel Destroys Stacked Anti-Trump Panel on ‘Meet the Press’ With Facts
newsbusters.org ^ | 5/28/2017 | Nicholas Fondacaro / FR Posted by rktman

The liberal network shows were all busy Sunday morning pushing accusations and speculation about President Trump and his adviser Jared Kushner. Their discussion was drive by more anonymous sources telling The Washington Post that Kushner tried to set up a backchannel discussion between Trump and the Russians to talk about Syria.

CNN even accused the action of being “treasonous.” The hysteria was also present on NBC’s Meet the Press, but theirs was shattered by The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel after she introduced facts to the discussion.

“I think we are having a discussion that is absolutely divorced from reality this week. It is astonishing,” she quipped as she reminded them of how then candidate Obama (not President-elect Obama) set up a highly covert back channel with the Iranians:

Let me set the scene for you: It’s 2008, we are having an election and candidate Obama, he’s not even president elect, sends William Miller over to Iran to establish a backchannel, and let the Iranians know should he win the election they will have friendlier terms. Okay? So this is a private citizen going to foreign soil, obviously in order to evade U.S. intelligence monitoring and establishing a backchannel with a sworn enemy of the United States who was actively disrupting our efforts in the military in the Middle East.

Let the Dems believe their nonsense, in fact encourage them. As they wallow in their bs, they will insure further losses.

The Dems need to be put on record as to how the Russians colluded with the Trump campaign to win the election. Since Russian tampering of voting machines have already been discounted, what exactly did Russia and Trump do to give Trump the election?

The senate intel committee needs to put Podesta, Clinton, Pelosi and Schumer on the stand to show proof of this, or else STFU. I would go so far as to either prove it or be brought up on charges of treason for harming America in a time of extreme crisis. (North Korea, ISIS)

Yup. No mention at all of obammy’s back channel that siphoned off over $1.4 billion in pallets stacked with unmarked bill on a midnight flight to lran.

“...cooked up to cover the spying...”

Exactly, and almost certainly to cover up the Seth Rich murder as well.

There is no proof of a Russian hack of the DNC server because the DNC would not let the server be investigated. The only real explanation for this behavior is that the DNC knew no Russian hack would be found - pointing to an insider leak.

This is absolutely the most plausible scenario - why else would the DNC not allow the server to be investigated?

I have considered that - the DNC probably could not be sure that all agents were “owned” and could not take that chance in allowing an FBI investigation of the server.
