The Senate intelligence investigation must tell us if Trumps team conspired with Russia...must read

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2017/01/15/the-senate-intelligence-investigation-must-tell-us-if-trumps-team-conspired-with-russia/?utm_term=.4e6503974310

Hoping something will come out of this....if at all.....

The committee will need to prove its independence and issue a conclusive report that provides a thorough and credible accounting of what occurred. If it fails to do so promptly, the cloud hanging over the president-elect will linger and his foreign policy decisions will be open to question. Quite simply, the American people need to know if Trump has benefited from — or worse, cooperated with — a hostile foreign power to win the White House. Yes, it is that serious.

I'd be very surprised if it turns out there was no collusion between Trump and Russia

"No one in the administration should be allowed to remain in office if he or she takes the Fifth. Either Trump intends to cooperate fully or he intends to stonewall." That would clearly include Trump himself. And perhaps Pence as well.

on Fox - I don't ever watch it but wanted to see Dianne and Brennan. Their interviews were one on one and very good.

Feinstein was extraordinary. She said “We cannot ignore what has happened,” she said. “To ignore it is really to commit ourselves to a very bad future,”

“Look, I'm certainly not going to leave this in limbo. Because this is the future of America. It's the future of democracy. And if we can't carry out an election without disinformation being pumped into it by another country, we've got a huge destruction of our system going on." She went on to say that if the Senate did not do a through job looking at it, that the Democrats would find another way because it was about our democracy.

Brennan was also extraordinary. He said many things but one that he repeated was that Trump has to understand is that this is more than being about him and it's about the United States and our national security.

What I heard from Wallace and from one of the panelists was frightening. Wallace said that former intelligence officials had been criticizing and bashing - Mike Morell and Michael Hayden et al. He suggested that it was logical then for Trump to believe the intelligence community had it out for him. There was a right wing woman on who said that John Lewis should not criticize Trump because it is giving Putin what he wants - that Putin wants to destabilize US and Lewis' comments help to do that. It was incredibly horrible to suggest that Lewis should stop speaking out. Rich Lowry literally defended Lewis.
