1. This is the same Kevin McCarthy who openly admitted

on Fox that the Benghazi investigation was only an attempt to bring Hillary's numbers down.

3. I think so.

This guy has a long-term friendship with Vladi. I can believe the accusation.

As usual, follow the money.

4. Yes, follow the money is the best phrase to explain stupid stuff.

Audio of party leaders discussing the possibility that Rump is paid by Putin for services not discussed but clearly on their minds.

Incredible.

Note also that as a congressman, Rohrabacher comes up for reelection in 2018. From Politico last November:

Putin’s favorite congressman: Dana Rohrabacher’s pro-Russia views made him an outcast. But in Trump’s Washington, he could fit right in.

10. So they think it's funny that Russia is in the White House & controlling part of our govt?

Really? Traitors. And juvenile. It's pathetic that these are the kind of people we have running our government.

They have known all along that Russia was influencing our election.

Did the DNC know, too? Did the Obama White House know?

[uponit7771]

12. If it was just a joke they wouldn't have lied about it

A real investigation is going to take down a gaggle of politicians...
