Does that fact tell you that these committees are serious about getting to the truth or that they are serious about getting the president off the hook?
    Because they use anonymous sources and want to sell newspapers?

    well, the investigation is over when the special counsel says it's over and he's stuffing his bank account quite handsomely right now. He has no incentive to conduct a speedy investigation.

    After all, it's his turn to cash-in.

    Mueller isn't doing it for the money. Obviously, it's personal.

    Remember: We didn't name him. We didn't start ANY investigations.

    You did.

    Then why don't the right wing parallels like the New York Post or the Washington Times have anything to say about it? After all, they want to sell papers too!

    Could this difference reflect who the target demographics are for the respective outlets? You know, some of us who want answers on the one side and Republicans on the other?

    I didn't select him. I wouldn't have selected anyone. I would have ignored the noise and gotten on with business.


    Besides, if this is personal with him, that's not a good thing. That would mean that he can't be objective and needs to step aside and let someone else take charge.

    Of course you didn't. The pronoun you can be both singular and plural. In this case I was referring to you, meaning "your team."

    Thanks for listening.

    “We are far closer to the beginning of the investigation than we are to the end," House Representative Adam Schiff saidduring an appearance on ABC News’ This Week Sunday. Schiff is the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee and is helping to lead that branch of the Russia investigation.
    Schiff said he thinks that “there is evidence” of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but said he “can't go into the particulars of our closed investigation.”
    When pressed, Schiff said that he’s “not prepared to say that there's proof you could take to a jury” but “that there is enough that we ought to be investigating.”
    British intelligence agencies first picked up contact between Trump’s campaign members and associates and Russian intelligence operatives in 2015. Over a period of six months until summer 2016 western agencies — including those from Germany, Estonia and Poland. Australia— shared evidence of contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians with U.S. authorities, a number of sources with knowledge of the intercepts told The Guardian.

    Sounds like a whole lot a spying on more than Ruskies if they have thousands upon thousands of pages to sift through.
