The Benghazi was not with a neutral investigation. You need a special prosecutor like what is being said here to look into it.

The IRS was also targeting left wing groups at the time as well.

Oh yeah, which left wing groups?

How do you do a proper investigation when the suspect knows what evidence you have? It takes a lot of sting out of the questioning process, No? Highly questionable and shady as heck.

Now you know how we felt when Benghazi, the IRS, Hillary's email, fast and furious, etc, etc. were whitewashed by the Obama administration. Shady then was okay, but not now? How surprising.

Read post #3 of this thread. Then point out where I'm bitching about the lefties selective wishes for investigations, but not those on the right?

I certainly haven't heard anything with the slightest bit of credibility indicating we need to waste dollars on this.

As for the Russians hacking US servers, that shouldn't be investigated by Congress. Certain way to leak more classified data and handicap ourselves. Our intelligence agencies need to have already been doing this and reporting the results to Congressional committees.

Plus we now know they have asked the FBI what they know and if they could ramp the noise down. That is 1000 x's worse than Bill Clinton talking to Lois Lerner on a tarmac.

And YES. If this exact same situation were in reverse there would be 4 house select committee investigations and Senate Select panels. Just look at the Benghazi fiasco.

Team before country with you guys.

I assume you meant Loretta Lynch?

Yeah..... whoever he talked to

Seriously? Have you been living under a mushroom...lol

He's not saying there's evidence of a crime, he's saying there's ample evidence for an investigation. And many Republicans agree.

And yes, you know there is...so just stop.

The 3 Trump-Russia scandals, explained

-Flynn's ties to Russia needs investigated.
-Manafort appearing in the Russian Oligarch's payment book needs investigated.
-Leaks suggesting the Trump campaign was in contact with Russia during the campaign needs investigated.
-Trump's repeated lies about no business with Russia needs investigated.
-Priebus' probable illegal conversations with the FBI need investigated.

And there are likely other areas too.

And it needs to be a special prosecutor or an independent commission as Trump has already polluted the congressional chair heads.

Quote:The effort also involved senior lawmakers with access to classified intelligence about Russia, including Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the chairmen of the Senate and House intelligence committees. A spokesman for Nunes said that he had already begun speaking to reporters to challenge the story and that, “at the request of a White House communications aide, Chairman Nunes then spoke to an additional reporter and delivered the same message.”

Unlike the others, Nunes spoke on the record and was subsequently quoted in the Wall Street Journal.

In an interview, Burr acknowledged that he “had conversations about” Russia-related news reports with the White House and engaged with news organizations to dispute articles by the New York Times and CNN that alleged “repeated” or “constant” contact between Trump campaign members and Russian intelligence operatives.

“I’ve had those conversations,” Burr said, adding that he regarded the contacts as appropriate provided that “I felt I had something to share that didn’t breach my responsibilities to the committee in an ongoing investigation.”

The administration’s push against the Russia coverage intensified Sunday when White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said in television interviews that he had been authorized “by the top levels of the intelligence community” to denounce reports on Trump campaign contacts with Russia as false.

Trump administration sought to enlist intelligence officials, key lawmakers to counter Russia stories

These are all pretty much made up out of thin air and there is no substance to some of them as your own article admits. As for Manafort, that is just stupid and demonstrates the absurdity of all this stuff. He was a political consultant for Yanukovych. That was public knowledge.

Its amazing what stuff the leftist press puts out and all of you buy it.

Establishment swamp is entering its death throe stage. Be patient and expect this to continue for a while.

Trump, the king of nepotism, said that he did not even know Manafort before he became his campaign manager.

How does that happen?

Quote:The Russian business and government elite have often sought financial security in the Mediterranean island’s banking system. Oligarch Dmitry Ryvoloviev took a nearly 10 percent stake in Bank of Cyprus in 2010. Two years earlier, amid the U.S. financial crisis when real-estate prices were softening, Ryvoloviev purchased Donald Trump’s Palm Beach mansion for $95 million. The transaction generated questions because of its inflated market price, about $60 million more than Trump had paid for the Florida property four years earlier.

Trump’s pick for commerce leaves Russia questions unanswered

Remember when Rezko reportedly saved Obama $300,000 and the right lost its mind?
