Which of the 8 investigations was wrong?
Enough with the diversions. I will not support you further in trying to distract everyone from the deplorable behavior of the Trump entourage. We can compare notes re. Benghazi once we've completed eight investigations into Flynn's Russian collaboration, and eight into Donnie's, and maybe eight more into Manafort's. and ...

I corrected JSt0rm as he had his facts wrong...sorry if getting the facts straight bothers you so much.

Yes, that is my opinion...which is based on the facts of the matter.
No, it's based on your emotional need to attack Clinton and the left. Just as you have an equally emotional need to defend whatever Republicans do. We all know full well that if Obama or Clinton had done any of the BS Turmp & Co. have done, you would have screamed bloody murder.

This is pure speculation and partisan spin, and in no way reflects reality. Do you even know the difference anymore?

This in from DJT:

"Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia"

Lord knows what "Just like Russia" is supposed to mean.

Russia is giving illegal information to the New York Times and Washington Post?

Russia's intelligence community illegally gives information to Russian media?

The NSA and FBI are illegally giving information to Russia?

I'm willing to bet that there are reporters from both those papers who get up every morning with the sole purpose in life being the investigation of this poseur and his cronies, and who use tweets like that to fuel the fire. Keep it up, hell hath no fury like a scorned press. Trump seems to think that the best possible way to spend his transition, and to launch his administration smoothly and productively, was to piss off the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the CIA.

He's talking about the leaks from the intelligence community to MSM...which happens to be a Federal crime. Is this really that hard for you to understand?

...as well as control of the House, Senate and Presidency. And what have you got? A party in denial and quickly fading into irrelevance.

Personally, I'm getting sick of the GOP raping the economy with support of ignorant people worried there guns will get taken away (not happening), being religious zealots (Trump is pretty amazing he got the GOP voters to buy into that), and saying he is going to rescue the middle class (yeah right, while he already spends half his time on the Gold Course at Mar-a-Largo)

Hopefully the checks and balances will come into effect, you have to just be trolling, I'll refrain from insults.

leaking information about national security relevant to the defense of the US is a crime. What if the information involves an internal threat to the country and this is the only avenue of recourse?

Let's go with a hypothetical that you seem stubbornly unwilling to accept, much less consider as a possibility worthy of discussion: Say Trump and Bannon have committed multiple acts of Treason, Russia has compromising information on Trump (near absolute certainty there--don't be daft), there actions or simply bold ignorance of their own actions compromising the security and integrity of the nation simply can not continue.

What then? Where is the actual crime?
Say this information wasn't leaked to the press--giving the public access to digest this intelligence, but then a secret coup is organized to remove the president and his chief advisers, with little explanation as to why (insert any random administration in this scenario). Then what? How do you think the public responds to such a situation, being kept in the dark of very real facts and what would be known to be a very real threat to this country?

They are leaking it because what Trump is doing is a Federal Crime, and you arguing otherwise just makes you look more ignorant by the minute.

What Federal Crime? There is less proof of Trump's "crime" than the so called no proof of Hillary's Emails and Benghazi crimes. We have people in the federal government actively trying to delegitimize not a political candidate but the actual President and members of Congress and that's ok?

Such a smart businessman. Anyone with have a brain cell knows you don't piss off your secretary. This is essentially what he does when he calls out the press (the opposition party) and the IC.
