(CNN)House Russia investigators are planning to call on Brad Parscale, the digital director of President Donald Trump's campaign, as the congressional and federal probes dig into any possible connections between the Trump digital operation and Russian operatives, congressional sources said this week.
{snip}
Parscale told CNN Friday that he had not been contacted by any investigators -- either federal or Congressional.
Senate investigators in particular have been interested in looking for a link between the prevalence of fake news that supported Trump and was pinpointed in key areas of Rust Belt states that ultimately flipped from blue to red -- and helped Trump secure the White House.
"There have been reports that their ability to target this information, some reports at least saying that in the last week of the campaign in certain precincts in Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania there was so much misinformation coming talking about Hillary Clinton's illnesses or Hillary Clinton stealing money from the State Department or other. It completely blanked out any of the back and forth that was actually going on in the campaign," Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, said at a March 30 hearing.

another shining example of how clueless the Dems are, and another shiny example of how the weaselly Dems intend to steal the RNC datamine under the pretext of "because Russia"

At some point, after tens of thousands of man-hours have been poured into this topic...some brilliant Einstein-like character will emerge and ask....are there any laws to use on prosecuting fake news? The answer? No. Then the public will turn and face all this fake hyped-up political gaming and just start laughing.
It’s a fake investigation over a fake outrage, involving fake House investigators, and mostly focused on fake Russian involvement.
The objective is to get rid of Trump (by both parties) and MAYBE let Pence stay if he behaves, which he will.
We NEED to call our reps and tell them to STOP this nonsense and stop the investigation or say goodbye to their easy money congress jobs.
And I suggest we say it just like that.
It’s enough.
It’s a show about nothing.
They’re desperate to find something better than the Pee Pee Dossier which is the best they’ve got so far.
JUST sent this to my congressman,
This email is about TRUMP! If the witch hunt is not stopped by you republicans, we will stay home next election. MANY of us will stay home and let the dem win.
What’s the difference anymore anyway. Practically none, if you look at Fast and Furious, IRS scandal, Hillary and Russia, Hillary and Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Haiti, Qatar, and on and on and how you folks did NOTHING!!!
This is a crucifixion and if you Rs won’t step up and stop it you will lose at the next election.
Or maybe a two-for, eliminate Trump and Pence and install Ryan.
House Republicans should dump Ryan and install Gingrich.
Then, give Gingrich a private security detail, like Trump has.
That would put a stop to most of this nonsense once and for all.
It’s a chess game. We have to protect the king at all costs and we need a certain number of pieces on the board to do that so we can’t adopt a throw the bums out mentality. We need to replace a few specific bums at a time.
But fake news that supports libs is OK, like all the 24/7 global warming alarming bull sheiss.
If you notice in the last month....even Putin now jokes about the fakeness of the affair. At any moment, his guys are going to hire up some US attorney and want to present evidence to the House investigators about private money that went to the Clinton Foundation for the uranium deal. As deep as the House investigation wants to dig...Putin is going to help them even dig deeper and turn this into a 10-year investigation about ‘nothing’.
It reminds me a lot of the Seinfeld show....it kept you entertained but it was a show about nothing.
Absolutely insane. The theme is how dare Trump have campaign arguments. I mean it’s not like they said he didn’t pay taxes, or that he was a tool of Putin, or abused women. /s Republicans belong in hell for allowing this.
The prevalence of unfake news revealed by the daily release of the Podesta emails exposed the collusion of CNN's support of Hillary ...asking Fake Tapper or Donna Brazille about it would be a good place to start looking for a link Senate investigators...
Republicans will lose the Congress so get used to it now. Yes they actually prefer it to their own president. And mind you, this is EVEN AS THEY ARE BEING SHOT EN MASSE. They are allowing the dem base to be enraged while our base has no reason to vote for cowards.
Yes but don’t you see republicans are idiots or worse. Of course both sides threw mud. The GOP actually thinks Trump had no right to win those states! We’re actually gong to delegitimize political arguments against Hilary while legitimizing absolute fake news about Trump.
I am not resigned to that future.
Amen.
But it’s coming just the same. Even Trump himself is being weighed down by trying to cooperate with those evil idiots. And if you want an ultimate reason for this, it’s the money in illegal immigration and the republicans really are liberals. This was their final chance they are done.
Go find me a republican who’s making your argument. Have you heard a word criticizing Hilary? You’re absolutely right how did Trump steak the election when Hilary was stealing the friggin’ debate questions. Insanity.
Actually there is something on the books but to use it against the Dems but puts all of America at risk. It’s called freedom of the press. By changing the definition of the press to mean citizen journalists, you can go after the MSM as noting more than entertainment, pull all of their credentials and threaten lawsuits for liable if they lie. Meanwhile you put credentials into the hands of individuals who can blog stories.
