Why can't journalists just interview Fusion GPS officials in public, instead of waiting for Grassely

Just ask them relevant questions in public.

Why do we have to wait for the Trump protector Grassely to release transcripts of their testimony in the Senate?

Is there some kind of court order barring the officials from being interviewed in public so that we can find out what the Republicans are hiding by refusing to release the testimony?

Suspects conspiring on how to kill the investigation

Is what the Camp David gathering of Trump and his Republican conspirators looked like. That evil smirk of Ryan standing behind Trump, while he is planning behind the scenes, to kill social security and medicare safety nets is really something. Evil fucks.

Trump doesn't know what Mueller has but keeps saying

"Everyone says no collusion. It has been proven there was no collussion."

Trump is in the Fox news bubble and someone has to bing him out to the real world. Just because your dim wit friends on fox morning shows say you are innocent, doesnt mean you really are. The investigators haven't spoken yet. Be patient.

Democrats control of the Senate in 2018 is more important than control of the House

I know it is a long shot, and also impeachments originate in the House, but to me, if Democrats manage to control the Senate, they basically can freeze all the right wing judges that Trump is getting through for life time appointments throughout the Federal judiciary.
They can basically assure that should any of the older justices die while in office, Trump will not get to fill the spot , and they can keep it open until after the 2020 Presidential election, just as Mitch did it to Obama.

Democrats should do all they can to take control of the Senate....the survival of the cherished ideals of America depend on it.

Nation of Laws, not of Men (Trump and Co. seem to think it is the other way around)

Republicans in Congress will be facing a giant question with implications for all in the coming months.
Are we a nation of laws, or nation of men---meaning are they going to look at the evidence and decide to follow the law and the Constitution, or are they going to decide keeping their man in the White House at any cost is more important, the Constitution be damned. How they will act will be recorded in history and will have major implications on how future Presidents act and are held accountable.

Tick, tock.....

Stop saying "Congress did this", "Congress blocked this", "Congress enables Trump". Say REPUBLICANS

It is frustrating to see not only journalists, but also some Democratic office holders go on national TV, and keep saying, when discussing what is going on, "Congress refused to renew children's insurance program," "Congress is letting Trump get away with breaking the law," etc etc...You should always be specific and say REPUBLICANS and never assume the average voter will figure it out. Say "the Republicans are trying to take away your healthcare", "Republicans killed the individual mandate in Obamacare and premiums will now go up for everyone,", "Republicans enacted a tax law to benefit the super rich at the expense of education, health, and other things that will benefit the middle class and the poor." The REPUBLICAN word should be highlighted. Saying "Congress" in general, gives the Repubs an out and lumps the Democrats with the destruction the REPUBLICAN congress and senate is unleashing on the nation.

Say it...
Republicans

Republicans

Republicans

Thank you.

Republicans are choosing to side with Trump/Russian agents/Shady characters and against FBI and JD

This points needs to be nailed into every potential voter, day in and day out. Never assume voters are aware of the details.
Rush and hate radio hosts are trying to mix things together and make it confusing to voters. Don't let them.

Justice Department obeying Trump order and investigating defeated political opponents??

How is that the entire Justice Department personnel, at least those that have any integrity left, didn 't resign en masse, when Session ordered an investigation of a defeated political opponent (Hillary Clinton), just so that the dictator wanna be in the White House will be happy without any valid evidence or any new development that warrants an investigation? So now this means that the Justice Department can be used to launch baseless investigation to harass political opponents ???? Can you imagine if Obama has ordered the investigation of W or McCaian or Palin and if the Justice Department has complied? Can you imagine the firestorm that would have created, and rightly so??

Wow, the bridge to crossing into Banana Republic just got a lot shorter with today's announcement of the Justice Department reopening an already investigated/ baseless case against the Clintons. Jeff Sessions should be disbarred for involving himself in seeking dirt on former FBI director Comey to please Trump and obstruct justice in the process. He shouldn't hold a law license, much less be in charge of the Justice Department. This s a giant mess.

Sens. Graham and Grassely want to protect Trump at any cost and destroy informants??

The giant elephant obstructing justice left and right (Trump) is sitting in the Oval Office, and they want to bring charges against the person that blew open the criminal conspiracy of Trump and co.

Wow. Shameless is what they are.

"I am not treasonous", "I am not treasonous", "I am not treasonous"

"No collusion!', "No collusion!", "No collusion!", trump keeps screaming every chance he gets.

The repeated and rehearsed denials just seem to reinforce the opposite for independent watchers. Something just is off with these denials, and Mueller hasn't even said a word regarding what charges will or will not be brought regarding the Trump camp.
