(20,998 posts)...and they are NOT happy about it. SERIOUSLY, if there was nothing there, and the rethuglicans* believed there was nothing there, they would be chomping at the bit to get as much information as possible in public view and vindicate themselves. BUT THEY ARE NOT. No, now they are using every tool in the rethuglican* tool chest to obfuscate, obscure, diminish, demean and distract.
The rethuglican* high command is not stupid. If it is conclusively shown that members of the tRump* campaign and members of the tRump* inner circle colluded with Russia to throw the Presidential election to tRump*, it could negatively affect the rethuglican* party for generations to come.

(1,967 posts)but Republican congressmen and senators have ties to Russia. It isn't just partisanship that congress is having only a skeleton crew investigating Russian influence, it's fear of what will come out about the leadership of the Republicans in congress if there was a full-on investigation.

I have a gut feeling that Comcast would love to have an excuse to dump Rachel.

Rachel Maddow refused to bow to Donald Trump's baseless threats. After the Trump White House had threatened her, the MSNBC host reported on a leak of Trump's 2005 tax return.
