Russian Probes Could Stretch Into 2018 Midterms


May 8, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

“The congressional investigations into President Trump’s ties to Russia are off to such a sluggish start that they could stretch into next year’s midterm election season. That’s a silver lining for Democrats who have grumbled that investigators aren’t moving fast enough — but who would be delighted to see the issue in the headlines as voters head to the polls,” Politico reports.

“Interviews with more than a dozen lawmakers involved in the House and Senate Intelligence Committee investigations show there is no consensus on how long they should take. The interviews also show just how politicized these investigations have already become, which threatens to undermine Congress’ chance at determining what did or didn’t happen in the 2016 campaign.”

We are not witnessing a sport where we have favorite and hated teams. This is life - real life - we each get one shot at this time on earth - and none of us should have to submit to a second of "it" as president.
