1. This begs the question.

Were the members of Congress part of the so-called gang of eight also shown that evidence ?
If so, not only trump but also GOP Congress were directly covering up for Putin.

4. Yes, they were.

Back in September of 2016, only Adam Schiff and Diane Feinstein actually released a statement about the Russian attacks (that was vetted to make sure it didn't contain classified information).

Members of the Gang of Eight at that time were: Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell and House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, and Senator Richard Burr and Representative Devin Nunes, the House and Senate intelligence committee chairs. Their Democratic counterparts were: Senator Harry Reid and Representative Nancy Pelosi, and Senator Dianne Feinstein and Representative Adam Schiff of the intelligence committees.

8. Get the leakers!

That's who Drumpf and Republicans went after. Their threats may have been enough to intimidate some who knew...until now.

14. I thought Ryan was Speaker by then

Didn't Boner leave a year earlier?

20. Devin Nunes

Keep that in mind when he attacks the FBI and DOJ about the Russia investigation. He was part of that briefing, yet now he is claiming that they had no evidence in which to justify their investigation.

7. I will beg the answer.

Obama went to Mitch McConnell, shares the intel...when he asked Mitch to sign on he refused.
Mitch was all in on the Russian aid to overthrow the people's choice, Hillary Clinton would not let Vlad fuck with our Democracy. That is what the RNC did. They are all agents for Putin.

15. Indeed Mitch McConnell refused to come on-baord when Obama wanted a bi-partisian notification

to America.

2. And another question: Who else did Putin help win during that election??????

I can think of a few Senators, and perhaps some house members, that may owe their amazing turn around wins to the Russians.

3. Trump says 'no collusion' all day, every day

So it's obvious that he knows he is guilty of it

[triron]

5. This is criminal.

[superpatriotman]

6. Accessory after the fact

A crime.

[Miles Archer]

9. "bin Laden determined to strike in the U.S."

[roamer65]

10. CHECKMATE.

[Cha]

11. WOW.. who knew! Strong Gaslighting Witch Hunt

Denials!

Sure as fuck are "coverups"!

[YOHABLO]

12. Were there Democrats of the gang of eight that knew about this information? Important.

[BigmanPigman]

13. Yes, but they were limited in what they could say and do.

Post #4 lists them. I remember Feinstein's face and her expression was "oh shit". Since this happened before the Inauguration the moron will say it is Obama's fault since he was still the president.

16. March 2017 - I think Senate Intelligence Committee was told - remember this photo of Feinstein

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/senate-intel-leaders-feinstein-and-grassley-grim-and-silent-after-trump-russia-briefings-with-comey/

After closed door meetings with FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday, top members of the Senate Judiciary Committee looked grim and rattled and refused to divulge the contents of the meeting to reporters.

18. +1, I remember the presser and how hurt she looked just ... glassy eyed hurt. I think they're all...

... extremely pissed off and have been holding their powder till now.

Somethings afoot, I'm watching how much FAUX News stays on this subject

Most likely they'll be forgetting about it tomorrow
