There are two elements to this whole issue that are so self-evident, that it baffles me that idiots like Nunes and the rest of the trumpettes don’t get it.
First, we know that Russia interfered with the U.S. Presidential Election. What was it, seventeen? Yeah, seventeen U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed that this happened. The Russians have done, or attempted to do, the same thing here in Europe. But, the difference is, here in Europe, every political party (that is not pro-Russia) is doing what they can to ensure that they fail.
However, in America, most politicians have tied themselves up in Republican vs. Democrat knots. James Comey is a Republican. Robert Mueller is a Republican. Rod Rosenstein is a Republican. In fact, the vast majority of law enforcement officers and intelligence agents are Republicans.
The Russians are screwing with your democratic process and you’re squabbling amongst yourselves like kindergarden kids in the playground. Actually, kindergardeners don’t squabble as much.
Second, all trump needs to do is open himself, and his associates, up to full and proper scrutiny so that the American people can see that he did not collude with the Russians. However, he’s so mired in dodgy dealings that he instead chooses to attack the media and the intelligence community. And that’s me being generous by assuming that he didn’t collude with the Russians. NOT a safe assumption by any standard.
And now, the Republicans in Congress are refusing to allow the Democrats to release their own memo which rebuts the piece of crap nonsense that Nunes signed his name to. And he’s admitted that he never even read the FISA applications which he says were bogus. But the man who DID read all of the material, Republican Trey Gowdy, has said:
"There is a Russia investigation without a dossier,"
"To the extent the memo deals with the dossier and the FISA process, the dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at Trump Tower,”
“The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by Cambridge Analytica. The dossier really has nothing to do with George Papadopoulos' meeting in Great Britain. It also doesn't have anything to do with obstruction of justice."
Jeez! Can these people be any more stupid!
