Holy **** my sides as well

 

- Complete lack of proof of any of these Russia claims from the beginning (early-mid 2016) 

Nope...you should read more news 

- Liberals asserting since the election the conclusion that Russians:

   ∙ Hacked the election      DNC and Political Operatives office.  Ran am elaborate Spearfishing campaign targeting election officials and breached at least one local agency

 

   ∙ Hacked the power grid 

nope, red herring

   ∙ Stole the election for Trump

 really?  News to me.

   ∙ Meddled in the election

Fact

   ∙ Every single Trump admin person who ever talked to Russia or did business with the country whatsoever has been accused of conspiring with Russians for the above

what is a "Trump Admin Person" ?  Flynn?   Mr Liar Lair has been fired for lying and did take money from Turkey and Russia and  violated the law. 

 

And your complaint is, after over a year of no proof, and constant accusations, that other people have prejudged the outcome? 

Lets let the investigation run its course

If it was such an elaborate phishing campaign why was it only the idiots at the DNC that fell for it?

 

As to letting the investigation run its course, I would think that after a year and no proof (echoed by many on the Left apart from Schiff), we would say it has run its course.  Anything else is just a dirt digging expedition.

Not really...how does that work?

If a president wants they can issue a pardon to end the investigation.  This is what essentially happened when Ford pardoned Nixon which ended the investigation even before any criminal charges, or convictions were handed down. 

 

A presidential pardon of Richard Nixon was issued on September 8, 1974, by President of the United States Gerald Ford, which granted former president Richard Nixon a full and unconditional pardon for any crimes he might have committed against the United States while president.

You can spin this all you want but the bottom line is Schiff has admitted there is no evidence after almost a year of investigating. As others have said I think it is safe to say the investigation has run it's course. To drag this out further is just a waste of time and tax payer money.

A year with no proof? When did some if these events come to pass?. The meetings in Clevlend were not till August. The hacking and coordinated release of Democrats data in Aug./  sept/ Oct. The attempt to breach the elections close to Nov.

The original daily caller article twisted the quotes and the truth. I merely wanted to add the rest of Rep Schiffs comments.

Trump had been under investigation since at minimum July.. if not longer. 

 

And still no proof of the original claims back then of Russia hacking the power grid and the election, never mind the newer assertions keeping the margins of ambiguity wide of meddling..  still no proof. 

 

The left have had the narrative for around a year now and have grasped at every single straw to make conspiracies seem rational. It's clear this is just non stop politically contrived attempts to delegitimize a Trump election the left are still upset about, hence the fit throwing presumptions of guilt before investigations and when nothing comes to fruition they suddenly want to "wait it out" in desperate hopes of finding something else they can latch onto to maintain the hilarious premise. Good effort.

"not been notified that he is under investigation"

 

But again, it was a nice effort.

Jesus people need to understand English better.

 

He didn't say there was no evidence. He said he was not prepared to say whether or not there was evidence. 

 

He didn't answer the question either way. He avoided it and we gain nothing from his response. Anything beyond that is individual interpretation. 

 

Quotes like these aren't even worthy of reporting in the news if you ask me. They are just examples of people dodging questions which doesn't really tell us anything other than the answer is not something they want the public to know. Doesn't mean the answer is Yes or No.

It's called obfuscation.  As I said earlier, if you read between the lines it is saying there is nothing yet, but we have to keep digging to keep the narrative alive right up to the next election.  Btw, I do believe it is a yes no answer as if there was anything earth shattering, I don't think he would have held it back.

You act like Americans need to be patient with the left, they've asserted since before Trump was elected that he's in bed with Putin. They've caused so much a stir, whether it be citizens or the media, over numerous conspiracies that have never been proven whatsoever. And you guys want patience and understanding?

 

Holding their faces to the doo-doo they made over something they can't prove is the only natural response to blatant self-induced stupidity. It's not even about whether Trump is really guilty or innocent, it's about kicking the left in the ### for being so reactionary over virtually everything.
