WASHINGTON 

Investigators at the House and Senate Intelligence committees and the Justice Department are examining whether the Trump campaign’s digital operation – overseen by Jared Kushner – helped guide Russia’s sophisticated voter targeting and fake news attacks on Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Congressional and Justice Department investigators are focusing on whether Trump’s campaign pointed Russian cyber operatives to certain voting jurisdictions in key states – areas where Trump’s digital team and Republican operatives were spotting unexpected weakness in voter support for Hillary Clinton, according to several people familiar with the parallel inquiries.

Also under scrutiny is the question of whether Trump associates or campaign aides had any role in assisting the Russians in publicly releasing thousands of emails, hacked from the accounts of top Democrats, at turning points in the presidential race, mainly through the London-based transparency web site WikiLeaks, .

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told McClatchy he wants to know whether Russia’s “fake or damaging news stories” were “coordinated in any way in terms of targeting or in terms of timing or in terms of any other measure … with the (Trump) campaign.”

This Russia narrative spam is like throwing darts blindfolded and hoping you hit a target. The leftist desperation to tie Trump and anyone he associates/works with to Russia is entertainment all by itself. If the left were really that concerned about Russia they would have taken Hillary and co to the cleaners over it, but this just an extension of the butthurt over November.

Yes, just like:

 

- KKK supports Trump therefore Trump has connections with the KKK

- Hitler did ______ therefore Trump is like Hitler

- Trump Jr says something therefore Russian conspiracies are valid

 

Desperation doesn't come in any more comedic fashion.  

 

Just more of nothing.

I also like:

 

- [insert Republican here] reacted to Russia conspiracy story therefore conspiracy is valid!

 

I'm still waiting for Trump to be impeached for everything the left has declared Trump guilty of.

I find it really funny that Republicans hold Reagan to a god like status but now defend a Republican who openly accepts Russia as a partner.

Reagan would have detested Trump and everything he stands for.

That's a real cool story and all but why are you quoting me for this? I don't care whatsoever what Reagan would have detested, nor what Republicans think of Reagan.
