The Key Players In Trump’s ‘Deep State’ Conspiracy Theory Are All Republicans

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, FBI Director Christopher Wray, former FBI Director James Comey and special counsel Robert Mueller, also a former FBI director.

Just worth remembering.

WASHINGTON — The key law enforcement figures in what President Donald Trump and his allies have characterized as a “deep state” conspiracy against him are not lefties or even Democrats: They are Republicans. And Trump picked a number of them himself.

Trump and Republicans are continuing to attack the nation’s top law enforcement organizations to undermine the special counsel investigation into his campaign, which has already resulted in criminal charges against four Trump associates. But factually speaking, it’s really tough for Trump backers to credibly argue that the deck has been stacked against the president, simply based on the political leanings of the key figures in the case.

Just imagine if they were all Democrats. Republicans can't blame Obama and Hillary for this. All of Trump's so-called "Deep State" villains are Republicans.

He’s even blaming people that he himself nominated of conspiring against him

Republicans Split From Trump, Say Memo Doesn’t Mean Russia Probe Should End

Rep. Trey Gowdy, who helped draft the memo critical of a part of the investigation, says “there’s going to be a Russia probe.”

WASHINGTON ― Several Republican lawmakers on Sunday said that despite claims by President Donald Trump and some of their colleagues, a GOP-authored memo critical of the Russia investigation doesn’t undermine the need for the probe to continue.

Following the release of the memo on Friday, Trump used the memo to call the investigation into possible collusion by his campaign with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential campaign a “witch hunt” and an “American disgrace!” Trump also said the memo ― which alleges that senior Department of Justice and FBI officials improperly used information from the so-called Steele dossier to get a court to approve surveillance warrants on Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser ― “totally vindicates” him.

In Trump’s view, the memo buttressed his repeated calls for an end to the Russia investigation. Members of his own party who appeared on Sunday talk shows disagreed.

“I actually don’t think [the memo] has any impact on the Russia probe. There is a Russia investigation without a dossier,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C) said on CBS’ “Face th Nation”

“DOJ and the FBI should continue doing their job,” Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas) said on ABC’s “This Week.”

He added that he didn’t view the memo as an attack on Robert Mueller, the special counsel who heads the Russia probe, or as “an attack on the men and women in the FBI,”

Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), called the memo “a separate issue” from the investigation. “I don’t think it really has anything to do with that,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The memo “doesn’t end [the need for the Mueller investigation] at all,” Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I think it would be a mistake for anyone to suggest that the special counsel shouldn’t complete his work.”

I look forward to the Democratic memo coming out soon. That should end all the Nunes bullshit.

Then you libs have nothing to bitch about so shut it.

 

[peach174]

Trump never said end the investigation.
The media and far left said it.

Anybody can register under any party they want, it doesn't mean shit. Their actions show who and what they really are.

 

[rightwinger]

Democrats are just sitting on the sidelines on this one
They are not even allowed to release their own report

This investigation is the GOP investigating itself
They still say they are being picked on

He whines about it weekly

True. Trump is a Democrat, tearing apart the GOP from within.

Yes they are.
They just had to follow the same procedures as Repubs had to do.
Seems some Dems think they don't need to follow the rules.

They tried to follow the same procedure and were blocked

Republicans didn't ease up until the criticism started

The FBI commits all kinds of corruption in an effort to deny Trump the presidency, but lefties ignore this and whine about stupid shit.

No they were blocked because they didn't follow the same procedure.
Now they are doing it.
It will be released.
