To date, no DEMOCRAT has shown in any way that Russia affected our election. That is the democrat claim, but all goes silent when you ask them to show you how Russia had any affect on our election.

The whole thing is a sham, orchestrated by the democrats.

The demonrats like to project.

It was Hillary Rotten Clinton and her Uranium One deal with Russia, Russian contributions to that scheme known as the Clinton Foundation, and Podesta with his financial ties to Russia that all need to be investigated, among others.

SENATOR SCHUMER MUST HAVE A LOT OF POLITICAL CONNECTIONS TO RUSSIA---
Russian citizens are his constituents. Did Russian citizens vote for Sen Schumer?

(HAT TIP WIKI) The collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent significant changes there led many Russian citizens to immigrate to the United States.

Many of the Soviet immigrants of the late 1980s and the 1990s primarily speak Russian......they live in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY.

So many Russian citizens immigrated to Brighton Beach that the area became known as "Little Odessa."

In the early 2000s," Oceana," a high-income ocean-front condominium complex, was constructed. Oceana has become the destination of wealthy businessmen, entertainers, and senior govt officials from the former Soviet Union.

A Russian-speaking theater near the waterfront,features performances by actors from Russia, and other countries.

Do we need the Dems? We have a majority - 52.

Don't ever count on McCain, Graham, or Collins. It's never easy.

I agree that consequences of a Trump removal would be bloody - but the danger is that the Senators involved DO NOT KNOW what spirit is moving out here, and may act recklessly through ignorance.

If the Senate can approve a SCOTUS associate justice without the Dems, must it have them for the FBI Director? The closer we get to ‘18 when there are 23 Dems and 2 Inds who caucus with them, MANY of whom come from states President Trump carried in ‘16, there may not be unanimity within the Dem caucus about ‘boycotting’ or filibustering the president’s nominee for FBI Director.

Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY, is considered a hot spot for the "Russian Mafia." In the 1970s, the most notorious leg of the Russian mafia served as a robbery gang for larger Russian crime syndicates in New York City. A crime boss from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY denies having any connection to the Russian-speaking Mafia.

The major Russian criminal element in Brighton Beach was the international Russian mafia group, known as vor v zakone or "vory," and the first vory crime boss in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, was Evsei Agron, who controlled the area's crime during the 70s and 80s until his death in 1985.

After the fall of the Soviet Union in the 90s, many ethnic Russian criminals illegally entered the United States, coming primarily to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. The infamous vor Vyacheslav Ivankov, who dominated the Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, underworld until his arrest in 1995, arrived during this wave.

==============================================

REFERENCE---Prior to his election to the US Senate, Sen Schumer represented:

<><> the Ninth Congressional District in Brooklyn and Queens for eighteen years.

<><> earlier Schumer represented the Forty-Fifth Assembly District in Brooklyn for six years.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said his caucus has not yet made a decision on whether to withhold their votes on Pres Trump's FBI nominee.

Sen Schumer added that the issue is being looked at as a way to ensure there is a thorough investigation of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

=====================================================

QUESTION: Have there been any investigations of Russian interference in Sen Schumer's races?

REFERENCE---Prior to his election to the US Senate, Sen Schumer represented:

<><> the Ninth Congressional District in Brooklyn and Queens for eighteen years.

<><> earlier Schumer represented the Forty-Fifth Assembly District in Brooklyn for six years.

Both his Congressional District and his Assembly district saw great waves of Russian citizens move into the area.....and are represented by Sen Schumer

Finally, Chuck the Schmuck has come up with a good idea. I hope the Dems make refusing to vote part of their standard operating procedure from here on out. Why stop with appointments, Schmuckie? Do the country a favor and boycott voting on bills too.

Bad Idea in exremis. When the Dems take control, and want to have enforced euthanasia on certain age groups or something similar - who will stand in their way?

Sorry to say that the Genie is already out of the bottle with Dirty Harry’s little Stunt.. So You might as well use it when you need it.. The Dems will anyway..

The genies out of the bottle only apply to nominations for the courts, not ordinary legislation, which is the point. That genie is humongous and extremely dangerous; the use of which will kill the USA forever. Once unleashed, you can entirely forget the Constitution and even the concept of one.
