Pelosi wants probe: did Russia blackmail Trump?
Pardon me for insinuationg my opinion, buy why the heck did we not hear the very same message from the handful of Democrats that appeared on the Sunday morning shows? Y’see, there is this thing called coordinated messaging, and by now House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi should have figured out that the GOP has been way better at it since the days of Reagan. That being said, we agree with her about this:
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi urged the FBI to probe President Trump’s finances and personal ties to find out if the Russian government is blackmailing him.
“I want to know what the Russians have on Donald Trump,” the California Democrat told Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I think we have to have an investigation by the FBI into his financial, personal and political connections to Russia, and we want to see his tax returns, so we can have truth in the relationship between Putin, whom he admires, and Donald Trump.”
Intelligence officials briefed Trump and outgoing President Barack Obama on claims that Russia has attempted to compromise him, and the FBI is investigating those allegations, CNN reported in January. The investigation of included intercepted communications, according to the New York Times.
House and Senate panels are also investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election, including possible contacts between the Kremlin and Trump’s campaign.

It’s obvious that Donnies glowing accolades for KGB Putin are the result of blackmail. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a1750baa4ead1a1ffbe5552e415dc42021e01b43d566bf080f9ff7f6adbf68e1.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a86cdafdb723c473d6725c3379340bfb5838fc1339489aec3c89b0872651bc86.jpg

I’m reminded of the show “Dinosaurs” where they have a puppet newscaster: “Howard Handupme”

and all of this delay is giving Putin a chance to clean up the mess…there are folks furiously scrubbing disc drives, and shredding papers…but there is more proof out there, the Panama Papers, etc…trump’s tax returns will, more than likely, prove treason…or whatever the charge would be…
Comey should not be anywhere near this investigation, as he may be complicit as well as the New York chapter of the HRCHC, the Hillary Rodham Clinton Haters Club, a sub-chapter of the NYC FBI…there is enough out in the public to make an educated guess at the level of complicity of the FBI, to be worried that there really are russian moles in the FBI…the more the gop delays, the colder the trail gets…

During yesterdays sickening interview with Loofah Bill, the orange traitor criticized our foreign policy, but refused to acknowledge the carnage and murder perpetrated by Putin. One things for sure. We might know more if he’d stop hiding his tax returns. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/29913fe25fb25e222e1164272cf97ab9567ef338ed7dbde83d826a8f3c1b0a7f.png

Lest we forget…there’s a reason he doesn’t want his tax returns to be made public.

If even partially true, this is bigger than Wategate.
Trump allied himself with a foreign country to steal an election.
That’s beyond huge.

When Trump sits in front of bill O’Reilly on Superbowl Sunday then says our government is no more innocent then Putin and his organized crime(s)
It’s time to drop the net on this clown and waterboard him
