Not a finding of collusion, but also not an act of collusion.

A Republican-led committee deciding it’s not a great idea to trash the IC shouldn’t be news. The fact that it is only shows how much more needs to be done.

Lawmakers on that committee said they agreed that Putin had wanted to hurt Clinton, but did not agree that meant he wanted to help Trump.

It’s two person race. Derp.

Annnnndd…to make things even better, the Senate investigation concluded that the Russians used the NRA to help trump, possibly even funneling money through them to his campaign. So we can now say that the NRA are at best “useful idiots” (an upgrade over the useless idiots they have heretofore been) and perhpas are even knowing criminal and traitors.

This information should be broadcast as part of the pushback they are finally getting and so richly deserve.

It’s crazy, but at this point I’m just glad this committee has a shred of credibility left. The House is a joke. And people are right, a lot of Goopers are gonna go down (probably even jail).

“We are also reasonably confident that the Japanese were involved in the bombing of Pearl Harbor, though we do not wish to draw any unwarranted conclusions from that until further facts can be ascertained.”

I don’t know who Nunes is loyal to exactly, but his loyalty isn’t to this country.

“That’s in contrast to the House intelligence committee, which agreed with the majority of the report but said last month that the agencies “did not employ proper analytic tradecraft” while assessing Russian president Vladimir Putin’s intentions.”

Go ahead. Just try to convince me that this guy doesn’t know all there is to know about intelligence community analytic tradecraft …

We feel certain that the Japanese wanted to hurt America with this action, but it is unclear if they wanted to assist the Japanese efforts.

The U.S. pissed around for nearly a decade while Japan engaged in all manner of murderous expansionism and seizure of other nations and their assets. When Roosevelt finally decided to get involved he implemented an increasingly onerous escalation of trade embargoes that finally pushed Japan into the Pearl Harbor attack. FDR practiced the same sort of isolationism Trump espouses today, to predictably disasterous results.

Sooooo essentially they are saying Donny did not get there under his own steam. And Hillary may have gotten there if Russia has not run interference.

Yeah. That sort of delegitimizes Donny’s win doesn’t it? Hey Donny Boy! You got installed.

Trade craft… as in hiding in the WH bushes and sneaking around the West Wing at night?

Hey, it’s fun to play spy. Didn’t you do that when you were a (44 year old) kid?

The referee admitted he made calls that forced Team B to lose, but that doesn’t mean he favored Team A.

I’m not entirely sure I agree with the assessment that they are traitors. The 2nd Amendment is a useful cover for them, their loyalty is to guns and gunmakers and to taking money from anyone that will give it to them, no?

Well that was the worst case. I actually believe they are useless idiots so wedded to the gun manufacturers that they’ve lost the founding purpose of their organization along with their ability to actually think.
