President Trump Administration and Russia

I am fine with an investigation. I am just trying to figure out the end game for those wanting an investigation. Lets pretend it is proven that Trump spoke to Putin asking to crush Hillary. Then what?

 

Depends on the details. At a minimum, the American people have a right to know. Do you find the idea, as fantastic as it may seem, that he colluded with Russia to win and may be influenced in any number of ways by Russia to be the least bit disturbing?

 

Start at 5:20 to 7:30

I am not finding this on the interwebz; source?

 

He initially said he wouldn't, when he was being asked because of the first guy who was talking to Russia about sanction relief.

 

It is going to be hard to find because the search terms overlap with the current story. Here is a link of the White House saying he shouldn't:

Ah, here you go:

I was also having trouble because of the newest story but found this:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/...eral-jeff-sessions-russia-inquiries.html?_r=0

Mr. Sessions said last month that he saw no need to remove himself from any decisions involving Russia-related investigations and the White House, writing that he was “not aware of a basis to recuse myself.”

He said today that he asked his staff to investigate and their finding came back today saying there is a basis so he recussed himself as he said he would.

As for me I don't think that asking his staff was required. It should be pretty obvious that he should recuss himself if nothing else because of the optics.

 

I'm trying hard? I think you are projecting. Sessions has been consistent in his recusal from his confirmation to his statement today.

 

It would be disturbing, but it isn't true. What is disturbing is the whole story is a CIA invention. If that is found to be true, would that be disturbing to you?

 

It should not have taken the suggestion from his staff. The optics alone were reason enough to do it.

 

1) In and of itself it would be disturbing. For those wanting an investigation, which I am fine with, what happens after being disturbed; what do they want?

2) you have now taken it to a whole new, pissing on Russian hookers, level.

 

Did you mention the crime?

 

It has been confirmed (and since reported) that he had met with the Justice Department Ethics Committee on Monday about the possible need to recuse himself from any potential investigation into Trump's campaign & Russia. They met again today to receive their recommendation that he should recuse himself, he concurred with their recommendation and announced it.

Next.

 

Present your proof of foreign interference in this election, withdraw the comment, or admit to being a shamelessly partisan liar.

 

These guys know whats going on behind the scenes. They know this is a phony story fabricated by the CIA. He said from day one, if there was a chance for bias he would recuse himself. He didn't think there was, his staff did, so he recused himself.

 

I'm not fine with an investigation until there is compelling evidence to suggest that such is necessary, and not merely and baselessly alleged.

 

Wait, do you mistake the White House Press Secretary for Jeff Sessions?

 

bumping for Ben and Tenny. They apparently missed it.

 

That Joint Session speech has got this mug AMPED.

The American people are realizing that Trump's not the caricature the alt-left has desperately tried to convince them that he is.

I'm all for all of this Russian stuff. As much as the Dems want to push.
