Russia Investigation Just Beginning, Schiff Says
International Business Times ^ | 06/18/2017 | Marcy Kreiter

Posted on 06/18/2017 7:19:50 PM PDT by Hadean

Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election is just beginning while Sen. Angus King said he doesn’t understand why President Donald Trump and his attorney general appear uninterested in the issue.

Trump’s focus has been to get investigators to say he is not under investigation, asking then-FBI Director James Comey to say so in public – something Comey declined to do before he was fired.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich likened the Russia investigation to going down a rabbit hole where no crime actually has been committed but people’s lives are ruined.

Schiff, D-Calif., in an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” said the Russian investigation is closer to the beginning than the end but declined to outline the evidence that has been presented to the committee in closed session. He also said he thinks there is “evidence of obstruction.” But in both cases he has yet to see “proof beyond a reasonable doubt.”

This is the same investigation that was just beginning 6 months ago. Getting REAL sick and tired of this BS.

Sin Anus King is lying. He is merely politicking, same as when Sin Obama called President Boosh a traitor for raising the national debt and then he blew the lid off of it himself.

Stalinists lie. Always.

You know what. Whatever.

Let them keep saying that and let the press keep reporting it.

I’m finding more and more people are just getting Bored with this nonsense And the dems.

Trumps lawyers and allies should keep fighting against this false narrative, but Trump should just keep on keeping on.

I think we may be actually able to finally beat some of these RINOs in the primaries next time around if they don’t start going to bat.

And Scalise, once strong, can be a powerhouse in stressing what all of this fake Russia nonsense has led to.

Look at the bright side: The more they push this hoax the higher Trumps approval rating goes LOL! Heck, I hope they keep it up all the way to the elections, by then Trump will be up to 97% and Democrats will be voted out of existence.

4 years from now, the investigation will still be in the beginning stage, and then, with Trump’s next 4 years, the investigations will really take off. Only after Pence’s first 4 years, will the investigations be over, but the democrats will still be smarting from “the one that got away”.

The biggest lie of all is the one they’re telling themselves, that they got kicked out of power because of Russia, not because America rejected their policies.

Same here in north east FL.

No cares about Russia, and think the media are just plain lying.

Apparently Russia hacked the Brexit vote, French vote, German vote, yada yada yada.

The writing is on the wall, plenty of people are rejecting the globalist worldview.

I put a very high probality on the idea that democrats like Schiff, the Deep State, the mainstream press, and operatives like Comey are in the middle of the greatest political scam in American history. Republicans and honorable citizens everywhere need to fight back. Trump is fighting. Gingrich is fighting. Anybody else?

Their goal is for the Special Counsel to never go away. He can take the investigation anywhere he wants. Thank you Mr Rosenstein.

“There’s no “there” there!”

“Then we have to dig deeper!”

If there was anything there they would have uncovered it by now. The longer they draw this out the more people they alienate. I say “dig...stupids”!
