With President Donald Trump taking to Twitter this morning to accuse former President Barack Obama of wiretapping his phones at Trump Tower, an interview by a Democratic lawmaker yesterday has taken on a bit more significance.

Speaking to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell following news of Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusing himself from any investigations into Trump’s campaign, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) suggested that the intelligence community is in possession of transcripts of conversations between Russia and the Trump campaign.

Asked by Mitchell if the FBI director has been forthcoming with congressional intelligence committees regarding the investigation into Trump/Russia, Coons explained how important it was for the information to be made public.

“It’s important for the outcome of that counterintelligence investigation be fully shared with the intelligence committees both in the House and the Senate,” Coons said. “There are transcripts that provide very helpful, very critical insights into whether or not the Russian intelligence and senior Russian political leaders including Vladimir Putin were cooperating — were colluding — with the Trump campaign at the highest levels to influence the outcome of our election.”

3. Alot of Repugnants don't honestly care if treason was committed, all they care about

is that they get what they want.

[Submariner]

4. That is a sad fact of it all

It's about power. Screw the country.

[cstanleytech]

6. Yup and I should not have even said "Alot" as it's clearly "most" but I was trying to be nice.

[nolabels]

7. It started with Nixon and hasn't stopped yet

He and Kissinger selling out then double crossing everything in Viet Nam just to get more corporate access to China. The word traitor is probably too good for them

[beachbum bob]

5. we wont see anything until 2018...conservatives will block all attempts for obvious reasons

makes 2018 election a pivotal election in the history of america

[cstanleytech]

8. Yup but there is no statute of limitations for treason and if evidence comes out

that they knew and helped cover it up that makes them an accessory to treason and that means that they could be brought up on treason charges as well and hopefully the Democrats won't balk at pursuing criminal charges if they are warranted like they did with Bush and Cheney.

13. conservative politicos will be facing harder and harder choices as russiagate continues...and

their leadership participates in a coverup and trumps approval rating stays in the low 30's...
