Issa: Special Prosecutor Needed to Investigate Alleged Trump-Russia Contacts

Issa: Special Prosecutor Needed to Investigate Alleged Trump-Russia Contacts | Fox News Insider

U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) was a guest on "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday calling for a special prosecutor to investigate alleged contacts between associates of President Donald Trump and Russia during the campaign.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMO this is good news = GOP Representative Issa calling for an official investigation into alleged Russia/Trump contacts; thoughts?

Investigate, investigate, investigate, never legislate? What is wrong with you people? what does any of this have to do with jobs, economic growth, and national security? What laws were broken and what is illegal about having a conversation with anyone prior to taking the oath of office?

No, I read it and the post stands, what is there to investigate and what does this have to do with economic growth, job creation, and national security

it has nothing to do with economic growth & job creation but there is potential for it to have implications for national security

also the election was compromised (to some degree) thus the three current FBI investigations

I cannot believe that so many that have posted to this thread DO NOT understand how LE agencies operate & associated investigations have to proceed to come to some conclusion before circumstances can be properly assessed to either rule out certain conduct, or to document nefarious, or illegal activity

WHY is that so difficult for some here to understand? or is it folks just being ignorant?

What implications? The election wasn't compromised at all as no votes were changed. This is nothing more than the left throwing a tantrum because they lost. The FBI said the claims were BS and even if they existed what laws were broken as Trump wasn't President?

Which FBI, the one that said the story was BS or the other that comes from the fake news? What is there to investigate? What laws were broken? What is illegal about someone, IF IT HAPPENED, talking to the Russians prior to taking office? As has been proven NO VOTES WERE CHANGED so why is this even an issue to you other than to divert from the true needs in this country today

Investigate, investigate, investigate none of which addresses the problems facing this country which are a stagnant economy, poor quality job creation, and a declining national defense. You want blood over something this insignificant? Go for it showing your true colors and why you are irrelevant in the overall scope of things today

OK, we see how you operate; You would rather have citizens at the highest levels of government break laws, or in the least, have the appearance they have broken laws, and have no investigation into any of it.

I bet you raised some great kids :roll: ..........

I am sorry I just don't see the issue here, you call it a lie, I prefer context but none of this trumps the problems we face as a nation but is rather a typical leftwing sideshow. I raised two great kids and taught them priorities. Meeting with a foreign citizen to me isn't a violation of any law and whether he lied about it or not to me is not certain although you have him convicted. how great of you want to destroy a Trump cabinet head!

to quote you: "the problems facing this country which are a stagnant economy, poor quality job creation, and a declining national defense."

your concerns are about $$$$$$$$$$, which you likely taught your poor kids was more important

your concerns have nothing to do with truth, ethics, doing the right thing, which your kids likely know nothing about, considering the source

good luck wit dat ...........

I suggest you get the entire story before jumping on the leftwing destruction bandwagon. What exactly is wrong with you people?

Unlike yours which apparently is creating an entitlement mentality and taking from those who earn it to provide you with what you want. Your concern is misguided as is your ideology
 
Democrats just can't accept this loss. LOL, wow.

I have no entitlement mentality as you claim

I make my own way financially in life but $$$$$$$$ and concerns of $$$$$$$$$$ are not my master

I believe people need to hold dear the concepts of truth, ethics, honesty, doing the right thing, etc.

All you have ranted about in this thread relates to $$$$$$$$$$$$ which is obviously your ideology & that of the GOP, of course

money is everything to you people; we know .........
 
Exactly.

"We have found that between November 9th and January 20th Trump officials contacted a bunch of foreign leaders, including Putin. These contacts were pretty much the same contacts that every new administration has with foreign leaders before they officially take office. While it may be a surprise to CNN and the WaPo who have still not fully comprehended that Trump beat Clinton, the pending Trump presidency wasn't a surprise to anyone else in the whole world. His election was pretty well covered in the international news. You could tell it was covered because a ****load of heads exploded that day. So, yeah, he met with Putin's rep before he officially took office and unless you want to set a precedent where an incoming president can't talk to foreign nationals at all you'll suck it up and go find something else to complain about."

Well Flynn was flushed due to lying, how many others lied?
 
Yes, hillary voters and Never Trumpsters who dont believe trump should be president anyway

Even if you find nothing the liberal media will make up something based on unnamed sources that cannot be verified

So my thinking is better to stop the enemy on the beach than let him run wild in the interior

Thats how to fight a war the right way

There is no coverup

Democrats want to hold a witchhunt that their partners in the liberal news media can promote on tv every night in an attempt to steal an election after the fact
Have you proof of the above, or are you sticking with your statement. If so, provide proof pls.
Thank you
 
Lets take this a few steps further, but only as a hypothetical scenario.

Lets say that an investigation is started and it draws to a conclusion and there is proof that the Trump campaign had "close" communications with the Russians and that Trump know/approved/directed them.
What laws does that break and if none what actions can result from it?

Depends upon the communications involved.
 
Investigate, investigate, investigate, never legislate? What is wrong with you people? what does any of this have to do with jobs, economic growth, and national security? What laws were broken and what is illegal about having a conversation with anyone prior to taking the oath of office?

You cannot prove what was discussed. Yet we have lies from Flynn and Sessions. Nope nothing there, far to many are placing party above country.
 
No, I read it and the post stands, what is there to investigate and what does this have to do with economic growth, job creation, and national security
So only jobs are critical, corruption, if proven is not.
Interfering with US elections by Russia is not a National Security issue for you?????

Where did the FBI state this??

So do I now prove that he lied in answering the question as it was stated? Seems the article I posted disproves the claims of a lie

Far too many calling out lies without context and proof
