I think we need to temporarily suspend all White House action until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

THIS IS IT.

This administration is very clearly COMPROMISED.

And, if the Party of Trump will not do it constitutionally mandated job of providing oversight of the executive branch, is it also clearly compromised.

EVERY DEMOCRAT in congress, to a man and woman, should refuse to advance ANY agenda until such time as the republican majority makes this priority number one and does LEGITIMATE investigations and hearings.

NOTHING this administration does should be moved forward, NOTHING, until the true nature of what the Trump campaign and 45 administration's activities with Russia have been fully brought to light and dealt with.

The WH is compromised and maybe a lot of Congressional republicans are compromised as well.

this goes well beyond Flynn I think it goes right down the chain from the FBI and to Repigs in the Congress.

It would explain why they keep on supporting this POS 45.

to FBI involvement. The name Comey should be out front as a suspicious character from his involvement in HRC losing the election to him always knowing about this whole sordid mess all the way down to the boy potus and his desire for 'golden showers'. Nothing from or about him. He was so quick to cast suspicious aspersions on HRC to throw a big wrench in her campaign works yet he's not saying a damn thing, this go round. He's involved in this coverup BIGTIME by trying to keep HIS boy-potus safe. Thank god for whistle blowers. His name is remaining OUT of current discussions on a compromised national security. Why? He is the Director FBI....he had to know. RepubliKKKans in congress? Expect nothing but diversion and distraction from them.

last night. I think old Mitch is in it up to his ears. Wouldn't be surprised to find out he, Ryan, and others are being blackmailed by Russia. Can't wait until the full story comes out (if it ever does).

GOP to vote with Dems to stop anything. Dems can't get them to stop an unqualified Education Secretary! I'm steamed that the government knew before the election and did nothing to stop this orange a$$!

anything he says. He lied throughout the campaign and the people who got CONNED still believe him. They are still drinking the kool-aid. For some its all about money for some its all about race. For some its all about hate.

on Russia-gate. They are introducing and passing all kinds of stinky legislation, taking advantage of Russian-gate. There is literally so much shit going on with this administration no one can keep up with the lies and corruption.

People, we will have to rely on really patriotic, honest civil servants to keep the corrupt cabinet appointments in check so as not to totally destroy the departments to which they have been appointed. And we must badger our Senators and Reps to keep on obstructing as much as they can any legislation to roll back even more regulations on Wall Street and the environment.

This entire administration and GOP Congress and Senate is a huge clusterfuck from which we will not be able to recover for decades if we do not become a part of the new Soviet Union.
