A majority of registered voters are in favor of an independent commission to investigate the potential ties between President Trump's campaign and the Russian government, a new poll finds.

According to a Quinnipiac University survey released on Friday, 66 percent of those polled favor an independent commission, and 29 percent do not.

Similarly, 65 percent consider Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election "very important" or "somewhat important."

The poll also found that 63 percent of registered voters are "somewhat" or "very" concerned about the president's relationship with Moscow.

4. The Repugnants like Mitch and Nunn have made it clear that any investigation will not happen

or atleast not an honest one while they have the majority control.

5. Ask the right question! Is cooperating with Russia to rig a US election treason?

"very important" or "somewhat important"
Bullshit!

IS IT TREASON?

11. Slow is the right word. 66% means conservatives

strongly oppose. According to PPP, 30% of Rump voters also believe Russia wanted Hillary to win.

Btw, in a major surprise finding, "... But in a sign that their concerns about Hillary Clinton's email practices might not have been terribly sincere, 49% of Trump voters think it was fine for Pence to use his private email with only 22% saying they think it was inappropriate."

9. These numbers would be even higher if the media covered the story as 24/7 as the EMAILS, or

Benghazi, or TRUMP's candidacy, or...

10. I'd actually favor a Russia-GOP-FBI independent commission, Trump shouldn't get all the credit!

12. Slate: "The Trump-Russia Investigation Is a Farce"

In a sideshow to all that other drama happening on Capitol Hill on Friday, the House Intelligence Committee descended further into confusing farce with another set of dueling press conferences between its top-ranking Republican and Democratic members.

First up was Republican Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, who announced to reporters that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had agreed to testify before the committee. Manafort is a central player in the Trump-Russia drama. In addition to allegedly receiving off-the-books payments when he worked for Russian-backed former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, an AP report this week suggested that, prior to working for Trump, Manafort had worked on a plan to influence politicians and the media on Putin’s behalf. Nunes would not say if that testimony would be public or closed.

Nunes also announced that FBI Director James Comey and NSA Director Mike Rogers, who testified in a public hearing on Monday, would return to the Hill for a second briefing behind closed doors. It’s not clear why they have to come back, but Nunes specified that it is not related to the announcement he made on Wednesday that he’s seen documents showing that the intelligence community incidentally collected and then disseminated communications by the Trump transition team. Nunes also said that a planned public hearing on Tuesday with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former acting Attorney General Sally Yates had been postponed.
