So... the news about Hillary's corruption and ill health is "fake news." Of course, it is "fake" only in that it does not paint the Democrat in glowing terms.
As far as I can tell, the left defines as a lie any statement that does not further the leftist agenda--regardless of its basis in fact. If a statement gives you warm fuzzy feelings about leftists and/or nasty feelings about conservatives, then it is true. If vice versa, then it is a lie.
Example: Hillary cares so much and did so much for children. [Never mind that her touted "work for children" consisted solely of working for a legal group with the word "children" in its name, and that her bungling in the State Department harmed millions of children by throwing their countries into turmoil; the statement evokes warm fuzzies about Hillary to those who pay little attention.]
Or: The Republican repeal of Obamacare will cause millions to die without health care. [Again, an outright lie on many levels, meant to evoke negative emotions in those who pay little attention.]
I was looking for news reports of news items that hurt the Trump campaign, that might justify asking the question, "what about evidence of collusion between the HIllary campaign and the Russians?" Imagine my surprise finding this.
This article suggests that the Macedonians were involved in the Bernie Sanders campaign. Where are the congressional investigations on THAT? Why does Bernie's campaign get a pass from Congress? Drag their campaign workers into hearings, dammit.
My Grandmother will be brought in sooner or later.
u want more proof the Republicans are working against President Trump? in fact, they are still working for Obama!
14 Jun: Foreign Policy Mag: Emily Tamkin: Senate Overwhelmingly Approves Fresh Russia Sanctions
FP’s Robbie Gramer contributed to this post.
If passed by the House and not vetoed by the White House, the move would serve as a check against President Donald Trump lifting those that are already in place...
The Russian sanctions language was an amendment attached to a bill sanctioning Iran over its ballistic missile program and terrorism sponsorship — meaning Trump would have to veto a more aggressive posture toward Iran if he were to veto the new Russia sanctions...
The threat of a White House veto won’t scare the Senate, since there’s clearly a veto-proof majority...
Several elements of the amendment passed today are noteworthy. First, it turns five executive orders issued by President Barack Obama into law, meaning they can’t be undone with the stroke of a president’s pen...
“This bipartisan amendment is the sanctions regime that the Kremlin deserves for its actions,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.).
“It is time to respond to Russia’s attack on American Democracy with strength, with resolve, with common purpose and with action,” proclaimed Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)...
In a hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee Wednesday morning, Tillerson expressed concern about the Russia sanctions bill, saying the administration needed flexibility to maintain “constructive dialogue” with Moscow...
“The relationship between the United States and Russia is at an all-time low and it’s getting worse,” Tillerson said. “The two greatest nuclear powers on the planet cannot have this kind of relationship. We have to move it to a different place.”

Bet they’ll manage to get a subpoena for him, and he won’t be given immunity.
The Uniparty socialist-communist globalists leaders would like it if we stayed home. That is what they want.
Basically down to picking through the corn in Trump’s poop, but still we know nothing of Obozo’s past, Hillary walks free, Podesta eatin’ pizza, etc. Enough of this bs. Who won the election? Who runs the DOJ? There won’t be an end to it until our side stops it. Nothing will be satisfactory as far as the left goes. I say shut it down and let them whine.
The Republicans are afraid of the media and it’s power.
...so much misinformation coming talking about...

“Republicans will lose the Congress so get used to it now. Yes they actually prefer it to their own president.”
Every GOP Congressman that toes the party line and loses in 2018 will have lucrative employment waiting as a lobbyist, attorney with a prestigious firm, corporate board seats, tenured academic assignment, paid directorship at a non-profit or quasi government agency (like Fannie Mae), a consulting assignment, and several years of paid speechmaking at corporations, colleges, and conventions. In addition they will be able to retain any unused campaign funds for personal use. Plus a nice government retirement check and paid medical care.
Not a bad end for a “public servant”.
excerpt from the piece:
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.

this information was out there & slipped under MSM censorship.
had nothing to do with any trump digital connection to russia.
While do republicans and their sheep continually fall for FAKE NEWS headlines from un named sources. What is wrong with you people??
You are being played by the establishment media. Wake up.
Consider this. What if:
1. Sessions and Trump (and Rosenstein and Mueller) have completely infused the justice department with a serious-as-a-heart-attack “no leaks” policy, with the threat of certain and immediate prison time. It hangs over everyone there. Everyone affected know they will set an example when it finally happens. That includes the entire Congress, and their aids, secretaries, janitors, etc., every last one of them. Even good guy reporters. The fear of God has been put into everyone, therefore, they are not leaking about it, and will not.
2. Comey and his sycophants are (still) planting “anonymous” stories, from outside the justice department, and the msm still eats it up. Podesta, Sid Vicious, Lynch, Comey, Brennan, any and all. Backed by their entire army of flying monkeys. MSM calls some of them “officials” but they no longer are. But they are all coming from outside the Department of Justice!
3. The email stating Lynch made assurances she would shut down the Hillary investigation is real, and Sessions has it. There is another one planted as a diversion that is BS, that has been debunked, but even Comey said recently the real one exists. The fake one is a diversion to prevent keep people away from looking behind that curtain.
4. Comey is under investigation for both leaking and obstruction of justice. He may have been given partial immunity already in exchange for spilling the beans on Lynch. Hence his incriminating-but-not-incriminating remarks recently about Lynch—queasy feeling...not leaking, but showing he has flipped sides—publicly. He will take the 5th if questioned (again) by Congress.
5. Rosenstein, Mueller, Sessions, are conducting a tightly held top secret investigation. Perhaps assembling a topgun team of handpicked leak-proof patriots. Many may be democrats. So when charges come, nobody can point to a stacked deck.
What would all that look like to us mere mortals outside the loop? What would it look like if such an investigation was already underway?
EXACTLY what it looks like right now. Complete Silence. No leaks about it. Trump out of the loop.
If it were already underway, the only hope of the criminal cabal being investigated (and all that it implies and leads to) is that it somehow gets shut down. Primary: Get rid of Meuller, Rosenstein, and Sessions, in that order.
Secondary: NO LEAKS about it! That's right, the evil doers would be even more afraid of leaks than the good guys. If word got out, we would be cheering, and Mueller, Rosenstein and Sessions would become fire proof.
Third: Keep sowing more fake news to stoke doubts about Mueller, Rosenstein, and Sessions, so calls come out from the Republicans to fire them all. Blow massive amounts of smoke day and night to inflame and confuse in a fake grass roots effort to get everyone to say with the same voice, “Shut it down!”
It would all look to us EXACTLY like what is happening right now.
IMHO.
I must be behind on things. I thought the GOP controlled the house.
Not sure AT ALL how you figure that.
The ONLY weapon we have is scaring Rs into thinking they won’t win.
Dont give me the primary stuff either. That’s been an UTTER flop.
10 conservatives running, open primaries, the war chest of the incumbent.
I’m not voting for my house rep if this witch hunt continues.
The tired line of “THEY WANT US TO STAY HOME” is old.
And if they kill the witch hunt, I WILL vote for them.
You outdated folk make me laugh.
Your R rep will sit by and allow Trump to be kicked out.
But go vote for them like a BITCH anyway.
YES!!!
And NO MORE 10 conservatives in the primaries. Close open voting.
We need a R party chairman with balls of steel.
We ain’t got that.
“But go vote for them like a BITCH anyway.”
And stupid BITCH FOOLS like you would prefer to allow democrats to assume office.
You see PRICK, I can do the same thing you do.
