(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.

Any Republicans supporting “Russian investigations” need to be identified and primaried stat.
The “Russian investigation” is the Congressional equivalent of counting angels on the heads of pins.
It is totally, amazingly insane.
In the case of some senior citizen Republicans it is a strong indicator that they are non compos mentis.

Yes, that’s you McCain!
Trump has some pretty broad shoulders but he needs to know we're behind him.
The cries from the left from the beginning were to separate Trump from his inner circle, peel them off, one by one, innuendo after innuendo, fake story after fake story. Well, they couldn't do it. So now, they're using 'investigations' and allegations to cause everyone on Trump's team to lawyer up, thereby self-isolating and further hampering effective administration of government. They're trying to wear him down. We need to focus on lifting him up.
I am hearing “republicans” argue that crimes by Hilary don’t matter,she’s a “private citizen”. Did you know crimes from a year ago don’t matter if you’re a Democrat? Yes, This is how stupid and evil they are.
The Democrats can’t stop themselves from sucking and I believe we will be stripping more power away from them in 2018 because of that. They have nothing to offer America. America will continue to reject them.
Agreed but Trump made a decision to work with the republican establishment. He needed to actively raise up a Trump movement but hasn’t. GOP “investigating” him when there is an investigator is pure evil. And Hilary is being protected. This is deliberate.
I hope you all know the republican congressmen are being blackmailed.
I’m sorry but you are hoping against reality. Democrats are all turning out, with the help of the GOP. Republicans will sit home for the same reasons. Why vote for a republican to do what democrats exist for?
I’m about sick and tired of your incessant defeatism to be honest. why don’t you go peddle that BS somewhere else?
Tough.
Don’t you see the republicans absolutely hate being in the majority? They are totally uncomfortable. Trump won by embracing reality, do you really think the GOP will dominate by hiding their heads in the sand? For God’s sake they control the Congress investigating Trump and not Hilary!
What am I supposed to do,tell you that Ryan, McCain, McConnell deserve to prevail? The Trump-supporting Scalise is in a hospital with a hundred bullet fragments in him and the GOP is investigating Trump not Hilary! For God’s sake this is reality.
Go ahead tell me a reason the GOP Congress is not investigating political and financial crimes by the CLINTONS? You know, their “opponents”. This is preposterous and the whole country sees it. The GOP don’t want Pence, they want a Hilary. Don’t blame Trump supporters.
A quick review of the laws focused on "mobs" can be enlightening; but caution as they are almost never enforced.
This is especially true today, now having a neutered DoJ, we are seeing a "bloodless" rebellion.
Be mindful, when the expression "Law and Order" is answered with "Whose?" ...
None of this can be happening without the GOP. That’s not just anger talking, they control the Congress. Now Grassley is holding up Trump’s DOJ appointments.
Sounds like the rats are making deals with the russians to undermine Trump, there is still 80 percent of the uranuium left to barter with
We need to get Manafort, Carter Page, and even Parscale in front of these committees. Someone to do what Sessions did, in spades. Someone needs to look Warner & Feinstein in the eye, on national television and call them out for the neo-McCarthyists they are. And then, after that, they need to call out Richard Burr for enabling ALL of it. This wouldn’t be happening, in the Senate anyway, if Collins, Burr, McLame, et al. didn’t want it to be happening.
The powder keg in the country has been lit, the people are fighting back, and it’s going to become super ugly if this isn’t stopped. Richard Burr has to see his role in the baseball field shootings. He fed this beast, to what end I’ll never understand.
Imagine Parscale at the Senate Committee whilst DWS’s Jihadi IT staff has all our money and roams free. As Dapper O’Neill once said, “it’ll make ya sick”.
And from March 30 - 2:00 pm hearing:
Pulling in the Trump side to repeat the same baseless allegations, and ask if they are true. "Did you ever or are you now beating your wife" sort of thing.
Thank you. Good God that is a blueprint for 1984. The light of day easily dispels false Internet stories. That guy claims Russia fooled everyone that Incirlik had been overrun by terrorists? The examples he gives are nonsense and his solution is the government should have announced Trump is a liar!
