Does it worry anybody else that Trump supporters...

Are working so hard to thwart our counter-intelligence efforts against Russia?

They seem to think that Bruce Ohr is a bigger threat to America than Vladimir Putin. 🤔

Different issue. The question is whether Ohr is engaging in activities against the country’s best interest while having access to I sde government information. Putin is a different problem.

@jackjjackson No. It isn't. The FBI trying to get to the bottom of Putin's attempts to attack America.

Trump is trying to attack the FBI because of that investigation.

Nice try. But we both know you are smarter than that.

I don’t know and neither do you what either is trying to do. From the i formation in the public domain both merit investigation. @WoodyAq

@jackjjackson I do know that if POTUS took seriously a threat that his own security establishment says is serious, he would be leading task force into the problem, not praising Putin and casting doubt on all of US intelligence apparatus (including, again his own appointees).

I also know that POTUS shouldn't be actively interfering in individual investigations, and especially not one that potentially implicates him.

If he has concerns, an independent audit of the organization with recommendations is the way to go. Not ad hoc interventions in individual investigations with clear conflicts of interests for the Republicans.

And you could argue that the two issues are independent, but I don't know anyone dumb enough to really believe it.
