We need an INDEPENDENT investigation!

The Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman is Richard Burr, R-North Carolina. He was an active backer of Trump during the campaign. He even boasted about getting the FBI involved in investigating Hillary Clinton.

Congressman Devin Nunes, R-California is the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and a former member of Donald Trump’s transition team who, prior to seeing any evidence brought forward, declared..."there's no evidence".

Attorney General Jeff Sessions was part of Trump's campaign with repeated contacts with Russia during the campaign. Although he has recused himself from participating he did appoint the current Deputy Attorney General.

With these players in charge it's difficult to imagine a fair and impartial investigation can take place.
We need an independent committee outside of the political realms.


Dems threaten to pull support if Russia probe not 'legitimate

Your post sent my memory to the old George Lichty cartoons titled, "Grin and Bear it." The "Hero" Badges were drawn on Soviet bureaucrats for their stellar underachievements.

Perhaps if there is a large enough outcry...
Perhaps we will have a trial by media?
