I'm happy this is an ongoing investigation. I hope the Democrats keep pushing it. I suspect they will continue to find nothing and the public will become more and more aware of the hypocrisy on the left.

This also keeps the Democrats from addressing real issues in their party. They ran a bad campaign. Instead of owning it and finding ways to address issues with American voters, they have found a scapegoat in Russia. Good Job!

You cant' seem to get over the incorrect idea that the dems are just being sore losers; that's childish and not at all what is occurring.

What is childish is implying the President of the United States committed treason with nothing to back it up.

Time will tell, but at least some Democrats are starting to address the real issue, and not placing all the blame on the boogeyman (Russia):

"What is childish is implying the President of the United States committed treason with nothing to back it up."

A bit like throwing wild unfounded accusations of blaming your predecessor of "tapping" your wires and when that doesn't fly try to redefine the meaning of words.

Or from the moment that the media writes something you don't like call them "fake" or threaten them with stronger libel laws.

Or when you are getting under fire blame somebody else or cry "this is unfair, look what the other one did".

The only time in my life that I personally witnessed this kind of behavior was when I was in Kindergarten. And I'm not trying to make a joke, I'm very serious about this.

I don't think your POTUS is the physical representation of well-considered mature views or standing, not by a long shot. I was always raised under the impression that all old people had a lot of wisdom in them, but there is one 70 years old one that changed my views on that dramatically.

It's never about the topic at hand but there always seem to be some deflection to things or persons which (honestly) doesn't matter anymore. And what I find particularly strange is that it can be perfectly be the case that there is no "treason", it's the weird behavior shown (and sorry a bit dishonesty) that makes it so damn compelling to believe it.

I haven't implied that, you're simply reading what I'm saying via partisan eyes. I merely stated treason is a serious crime.

And no, Clinton's campaign is not the real issue. She lost, that's over, no one is questing that. The issue is whether Trump and team were involved or not with the Russian interference with the election. No amount of deflecting back to Clinton will change the issue.
