1. I have a basic hunch that, while they hacked the DNC...

...the Russians also hacked the RNC, which is why people like Nunes, Rohrbacher, and lately Graham have been tripping over themselves to stifle this investigation. The Russians have stuff on them, and they're using it to guarantee their full, and 100% cooperation. This is what Occam's Razor tells me anyway. Nothing else really makes sense.

[Staph]

2. I agree with your basic hunch,

but I think that the Russians already owned Rohrbacher long before 2016. Nunes - I'm not sure about when he went to the dark side. But you can point out Lindsey Graham's 180 degree turn almost to the day. Something about a golf game with Trump . . . .

6. Soon as McCain died.

[lastlib]

27. As I recall, Nunes has had Russians investing (laundering?) $$ in his winery for years....

they own him bottle, cork, and barrel.

[onetexan]

5. Ryan & McConnell as well - the Russians must've had something on them

[Kurt V.]

13. yep. Except for smokin Ro, totally agree.

[ProfessorPlum]

16. I think your hunch is right

I've been saying the same thing for years

[Xolodno]

19. I think they hacked more than the RNC...

...they hacked Credit Card companies, Banks, etc. They dug into their finances.

They know the strip clubs they visited, hidden money, questionable business dealings, offshore accounts, paid mistresses, etc.

It isn't just embarrassment they are afraid of, but going completely broke and possibly jail, Jack Abramoff style. He was probably one of the few that just got caught.

[Cosmocat]

28. More likely is more direct than that

they either flat bought them, have some other kind of Kompromat - like sexual dalliances, they got on them, or simply are sick and depraved like most "conservatives."

3. Don't forget comrade Jordan.

[Pepsidog]

21. I despise him.

[Honeycombe8]

4. There's evidence indicating that, IMO. nt

[Mr. Ected]

7. I've often wondered if Jason Chaffetz was caught up in all of this too

He abandoned ship early-on, and something just didn't comport. He would have been one of the first rats to jump ship, and out of sight, out of mind, but hopefully not beyond prosecutorial reach.

[Scarsdale]

30. What about all the religious

"leaders"? Franklin Graham, Jeffress, Huckerbee and his daughter. Surely they had to be as outraged as the rest of us when tRump opens his large anus mouth? The lies, dalliences and crimes are too large to ignore. Not to mention the less than part-time hours he spends at his "job". The sham marriage to a nude model!! The list is long. No democratic president would have been given all the free passes that tRump has been given.

[pdsimdars]

8. Or at the least a Russian ass

[CaptYossarian]

9. They all belong in federal prison.

Just like a getaway driver, they're accomplices. Trump and co. committed the actual crimes, but they aided and abetted thereafter.

Lock them up!

[ananda]

10. No question.

I'd say all the Reeps in leadership positions
were compromised.

[oasis]

11. Nunes' deer-in-headlight look will become more prominent as

the investigation closes in.

[JAD]

12. Is there any list of the Republicans from the House and Senate....

Is there any list of the Republicans from the House and Senate that said they would rather have Putin than Obama as President? Right next to their names should be the amount they received from Russian sources.

[Stuart G]

14. If Nunes is a Russian asset, and Paul Manafort is a Russia agent,

stated in another thread last week, then what is going on here?. These Russian assets/agents seem to be all over the place. Again, what is going on here?

[AZ8theist]

17. it's called "Treason"

[Eyeball_Kid]

26. Well... Russian agents have infiltrated

the White House and Congress. Nothing to worry about, eh? Do you want ice with that martini?

[PTWB]

29. Treason is going on here

[AZ8theist]

15. Nunes a Russian asset??

In other news, water is wet.

[ooky]

18. Lock him up!

[ffr]

20. For what we're losing economically, we could easily build a prison facility big enough

to hold this gang of thieves.

[Miigwech]

22. Another one added to "lock him up"

[Scurrilous]

23. K&R

[Grasswire2]

24. the weird thing is..

...that they would rather go down in history as traitors to their oath of office than have that kompromat revealed.

Haven't we seen by Bezos' action that you fight blackmail by taking the truth straight to the public attention. Then the blackmailer loses any influence over you.

How could anything in Graham's past be more horrid and criminal than taking down our democracy on behalf of a Russian asset?

If he flipped on Trump, he might even find himself a hero, a la John Dean.

25. Ryan was directing Nunes:
