A top Senate Republican is challenging the Justice Department over extensive redactions made in files showing text messages between anti-Trump FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, drew particular attention to one text that suggested the Obama “White House is running this,” in reference to an unspecified investigation.

Yeah, I would say that would make little bammy a tad nervous, seeing as how he was running the entire operation.

Astonishing that CNN posted that. It's pretty devastating. But it does misstate the reason the Obama Administration didn't pursue the Russian interference story.

First, it was pretty minor and unimportant - a few hundred fake Facebook accounts putting out garbage information and helping promote rallies both for and against Trump and Clinton. It was just pot-stirring by the Russians, designed to undermine the incoming Administration.

Second, once they realized that they could exploit the effort by tying it to the Trump campaign, they proceeded full steam ahead on that course and had absolutely no interest in shutting the Russians down.

The Wikileaks show was tangential, maybe or maybe not related to Russian intelligence - but it still had little actual impact on the election.

The Obama administration knew this was going on and yet did nothing.

Sounds like collusion to me.

Russia has been messing with our politics for decades. As commies and as Putin’s. They will continue to do so. We will do the same to them. Try sanctions as an example. Why the shock? It is unclear why they may have favored Trump. It doesn’t seem to be energy policy or stand on NATO. Maybe they just wanted our government tied in knots for four years. They succided at that.

I keep seeing this phrase:

“The Mueller report flatly states that Russia began interfering in American democracy in 2014. Over the next couple of years, the effort blossomed into a robust attempt to interfere in our 2016 presidential election. The Obama administration knew this was going on and yet did nothing.”

Can anyone point me to what they say Russia did?

(I will be offline till Sunday night so thanks in advance for any explanation).

“according to an account from Michael Isikoff and David Corn in their book “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump”.”

the potential “collusion” narrative was invented to cover up the Obama ....


Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking too. The whole mess was designed by 0bama to cover up and distract something devastating to the 0bama administration. Hillary was a willing participant. Not to confident we will know the truth.

The reason for the Democrats' hysterical and fanatical determination to stop Trump is this: If not stopped, Trump will inevitably cast the light of TRUTH on Hillary and Obama, something that the evil Democrats must prevent at ALL costs--for reasons that are obvious to all honest people!

They set up hundreds of fake Facebook accounts, released misleading information, promoted rallies both for and against both Trump and Clinton.

Seriously, the entire effort was smaller than the level of effort a major studio might launch to influence Academy Award voting or a player management agency might undertake to land a player on the baseball All-Star team.
