Give me a break! Pence knew and so did McConnell and Ryan.

3. They certainly did.

This is absolutely horrible.

5. I think that the whole purpose of the travel ban

was to try to divert our attention away from the Russian problem. They don't want people to ask - Just how far are the Russian connections within our own Government? Who all are involved? It is disturbing that Trump wants Japan to develop closer ties to Russia. Trump has got to be an agent of Russia.

Other foreign governments would be foolish to develop close ties to a Trump Administration because Trump and his minions will pass along everything onto the Russians.


If our own Government is going to cover up the truth then Democrats like Biden and Kerry need to reach out beyond our border to find out what they can from other countries' agencies. The Democrats need to develop an arsenal of weapons for use in the 2018 election. Russia needs to be the focus of the mid-term elections. Vote the Democrats in to thrown the Russians out and take back America for Americans.

6. Certainly the timing of the travel ban, yes.

They'll need to trot out something else now.

[avebury]

7. Agreed. They will come up with something else that will

stir the pot and try to divert attention away once again from Russia.

8. I'm not sure it was a direct attempt to muddy the waters

But I am certain that those who came up with it didn't miss the chances it provided to divert attention from this and other issues.

10. That is Trump's MO. Stir up the pot with one hand

so that you don't see what he is doing with the other hand.

9. Flynn made a liar of Pence, the VP of the United States

No, Mike Pence has been an habitual liar for some time now. He is always lying and then he hides behind his bible when called out.

Fuck Mike Pence.

[Sherman A1]

11. Precisely

At best he just continued on the Pence tradition.

12. Comrades McConnell and Ryan...

...OF COURSE THEY DID! Both were part of the Congressional "gang of twelve" that received the original security briefing detailing US Intelligence Agencies' view that Russia was attempting to interfere with American elections to aid tRump*, and threatened Obama with partisan retaliation if Obama and US Intelligence attempted to inform/warn the American people.

13. Of Course They Knew

These Republicans truly do not believe in democracy. The fact that they have no compunction about colluding with a murderous foreign regime and put our entire country at risk in order to maintain political power should be a wake-up call for us all.
