Should Congress (Bipartisan Committee) investigate alleged Russian meddling in US Pres. Election?

absolutely. we need to know that there was absolutely no coordination between Donald Trump or anyone working for him or his campaign and the Russian government. this congress has established that in a scandal such as this, all emails should be turned over for thorough examination, so the Trump campaign should immediately do this. it should become clear pretty quickly if they knew what was going on or not.

Yes.

Anytime when foul play is suspected this needs to be investigated. Even more so with a presidential election. This also means that if after an investigation foul play is confirmed, the election needs to annulled and new elections need to be initiated. If indeed a foreign power has influenced an election, then this should result in consequences. Sadly, The US has done this many times over themselves in the past in virtually every country in mostly Central America & South America, but also on every other continent except Antarctica...

LOl, like the U.S never influenced/meddled the election of another country.

It seems like a big waste of time in investigating this. A major distraction.

Total waste of time....so what if some connection is found, what will the US do about it....go to war. The FBI couldn't even find enough evidence against Hillary when it staring them in the face so how could they bumble their way to find evidence in this investigation?

I doubt there is any emails between Trump and Putin to turn over. More like liberal wishful thinking.

Liberals like to stick their bird chest out and flex their muscles. We aren't going to do anything. Barack Obama did absolutely nothing. Liberals want to make this the coup de grâce however what about when Russia attacked Georgia or when they intervened in Ukraine.

Its best to work with Putin and find common ground. It amazes how many people who have never served in the military want to go to war. This liberal war mindset is frightening.
 
Re: Should Congress (Bipartisan Committee) investigate alleged Russian meddling in US

Yes, investigate it. Trump is taking this whole thing way too personally. It doesn't mean Trump did anything wrong or that the election results are invalid.

I might be happy about the Manning and Snowden leaks but that doesn't mean I don't think the government should make such security breaches more difficult.

now that there is going to be a congressional inquiry, i look forward to the examination of the emails of the Trump campaign, as well as those of the RNC. i'm sure that both sides want a thorough and complete investigation.

Absolutely, investigate it.

The right wing noise machine is already saying that all the Russians did was expose the truth about Hillary, and that Trump was not behind the hack, which may be true.

Or maybe not.

And it's unlikely that the Russians had much influence over the election.

but maybe they did.

But, that Russia tried speaks volumes about our electoral process. A foreign government, and one with a history of being less than amicable at that, may have tried to influence a presidential election? That's huge, scary, and totally unacceptable. It needs to be investigated, and not swept under the carpet.
 
Re: Should Congress (Bipartisan Committee) investigate alleged Russian meddling in US

The FBI and CIA which couldn't even predict the fall of the Soviet Union or 911 is going to investigate this?

Might as well just disband them both. First, they miss some important predictions, then they start telling us things we don't want to hear.
 
Re: Should Congress (Bipartisan Committee) investigate alleged Russian meddling in US

Frankly, the budget for the actual election is pittance compared to the budget for the election campaigns. Bipartisan investigations, recounts and other post election measures to ensure that the election is legitimate should be part and parcel of the election process, rather than things we debate about and raise money for afterwards.
 
Re: Should Congress (Bipartisan Committee) investigate alleged Russian meddling in US

Sure...have Congress go to Russia to investigate and NEVER RETURN.

Then have re-elections for all of the vacancies but this time have a minimum IQ level requirement of 120, all of them have to have BMI ratings of 'Normal Weight' and they all have to be women or single men who have bowled 300 twice in their lives AND made a hole-in-one.

The investigation of the possible Russia hacks have nothing to do with Trump...Its supposedly about hacking of Hillary campaign and exposing by the Russians about varies mud slinging by her and her supporters who tried to sway the election against Sanders and Trump with mostly 'Fake News'.

Most in Congress have already claimed all of the above and more like claiming to a descendant of Pocahontas or some such nonsense. And to be fair...they all do it to one extent or the other.
 
Re: Should Congress (Bipartisan Committee) investigate alleged Russian meddling in US

Yes of course they should investigate another nation meddling in our presidential election. However, it should be on the condition that they do not tie up any rooms needed for another Benghazi investigation. ;)

i suppose that remains to be seen. we don't know the results of the investigation yet. if they find anything that looks like contact between his campaign and those directing the hacks, that needs to be taken very, very seriously.

which would serve to demoralize an essential part of the Democratic base with the goal of affecting turnout. we can all agree that one state interfering in another's election process is chilling. if the candidate who benefits from the interference had knowledge of or any degree of coordination with it, though, that's something even worse.
 
Re: Should Congress (Bipartisan Committee) investigate alleged Russian meddling in US

I don't see why not. Better safe than sorry. I highly doubt the Kremlin itself was involved, but I'd say some hooligans who had a bone to pick with Obama and the West might have thought it'd be pretty funny to sabotage the Western Establishment.
 
Re: Should Congress (Bipartisan Committee) investigate alleged Russian meddling in US

The entire premise of this thread is that the Russian state did hack the DNC email servers and Podesta's gmail account.
Has this actually been proven?
