Now we can take by scandal what we couldn't win in a democratic election.

How exactly does any of this show that the Russians are why DJT won the election?

Why is that even relevant? You don't think cooperating with criminal sabotage of our elections by a hostile foreign power is a problem unless you can prove the efforts swung the outcome?

Unless you think Trump will become the first president impeached for doing his job I'd say that's a good idea.

Why do you think a large number of Trump campaign associates have been caught lying about Russian contacts? Why was Kushner trying to set up an encrypted back channel to Russia through the Russian embassy? Why has the Trump admin persued an extemely pro-Russia policy against even his own party's interests? Why has Trump consistently misled in downplaying Russian election involvement?

Just doin' their jobs?

And isn't it true that Trump was tweeting fake news that just came off the wire from Russian sources? I remember some examples being given many months ago, wish I had saved them.

First of all, Mike Pence is next in line (although I'm not sure that Pence is out of the woods yet). So unless you know some new rule in the Constitution, I believe the Republicans will still hold the Executive Mansion.

Let's say you tried to hire someone to kill someone you hated. That person goes to the Police, and you are charged with soliciting murder. Are you going to say it doesn't matter because the murder didn't occur? Whether or not the Russians were successful, what is unquestioned is the fact that they tried to influence the election for Donald Trump. If Trump operatives worked with the Russians to this end, that is conspiring with a foreign government to influence an election in the United States.

Mike Flynn said at the Republican Convention that if he had done 1/10th of what Hillary Clinton did, he would be in jail. We'll see...

Today was a big day in the history of the Trump Administration and the history of this scandal. To have this all happen within his first year in office speaks to the incredible incompetence of the this Presidency.

The Dog is in the corner and the spittle's a-flyin'.

Let the investigation continue and the legal actions and all the other machinery of government enact a due process. These are very serious allegations. It must proceed methodically and carefully.

I know, right? A president elect telling his national security director to do his job. The gall of these nazi punks! Impeach him, immediately!

Water Dog, if everyone was 'just doing their job', why did so many people lie about it? Why all the secrecy? If everyone was just doing their job, why was the President so insistent about firing James Comey while pushing forward a false narrative that it had to do with Hillary Clinton, when it was in fact 'the Russia Thing' that drove the Comey firing? If everyone was doing their job, why was Michael Flynn's job being the paid agent of the Turkish Government?

If everyone is so on the up and up, why does it seem that so many people in the Trump administration can't remember meeting the Russians that they met with?
