House Republicans Refuse To Investigate Trump’s Russia Ties

[Lakhota]

“A committee that has oversight of many of the issues involving Russia just voted three different times to look the other way,” one Democrat said.

WASHINGTON ― House Republicans really don’t want to investigate possible ties between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, his administration and Russian officials.

In a House Judiciary meeting where members voted on the committee’s plans for the year, Democrats offered an amendment that would have made oversight of any ongoing investigation into Trump’s alleged connections to the Russian government a priority.

Every single Republican voted against the measure. Democrats deployed the amendment as a symbolic vote, knowing full well Republicans wouldn’t support it.

Just another disappointment from House Republicans. I hope none of them call themselves American patriots. Who wouldn't want to investigate collusion with a hostile foreign government like Russia?

Thankfully, the Senate seems to be showing more balls. Seems...

 

[Marion Morrison]

That's because there's nothing to investigate.

That whole "Russian election interference" thing was made up by CNN and Buzzfeed.

The dems are losing their minds. It was fun for a while and I thought they would get over it but apparently not.

Sounds like the Trump administration is calling for an investigation in to how the info got leaked...

Be careful what you wish for when the can o' worms is full

 

[AVG-JOE]

Rand Paul was quoted as saying that Republicans shouldn't be investigating Republicans....

Party first / America second. Maybe...

BWAAAAAAAAA Then why did Trump ask Flynn to step down. Are you saying Trump is stupid?

 

[TemplarKormac]

Hmmm.... because leaking classified information to the media isn't a crime, but talking with the Russians is.

But hey, when your national security apparatus is engaging in warfare against people they don't like, that sets an authoritarian theme, doesn't it?

 

[Reasonable]

This just in from the Wall St Journel.
Our spies won't give Trump intelligence because they don't trust him. Wow. Just wow.
Rachel reported it. I don't have a link because I'm watching basketball but it should be everywhere tomorrow.

NOT.

What right did Flynn have to discuss sanctions with Russia when Obama was prez?

Of course they refuse. It would collapse the party. We'll have to wait until 2018 when Democrats take congress back.

Gotta wonder if they get a little taste.

Apparently Democrats are more concerned about treason than you are.

Plenty, so long as he didn't break the law.

Is there something else?

Indeed it does appear they are more concerned with committing treason.

Remember Lakhota, these people think Russia is superior to us and that Trump needs to make us more like them.

Turns out that bitching is easy and governing is a *****, eh?

Did he discuss sanctions? You haven't proved he did. Can he talk to people from other countries? Yep. Were any laws broken? Nope.

Going out on a limb here but pretty sure America First is something you leftards thought was a horrible thing to say. How can we submit to Russia when we have our own interests first?

Actually governing isn't turning out to be that hard. Keep muslims out until they are vetted. Send illegals back. Gut obiecare. Gain jobs here. Don't be a government over bearing dick(democrat). Seems to be going fine.
