Why FBI Cant Tell All on Trump, Russia
http://whowhatwhy.org/2017/03/27/fbi-cant-tell-trump-russia/The Federal Bureau of Investigation cannot tell us what we need to know about Donald Trumps contacts with Russia. Why? Because doing so would jeopardize a long-running, ultra-sensitive operation targeting mobsters tied to Russian President Vladimir Putin and to Trump.
But the Feds stonewalling risks something far more dangerous: Failing to resolve a crisis of trust in Americas president. WhoWhatWhy provides the details of a two-month investigation in this 6,500-word exposé.
The FBI apparently knew, directly or indirectly, based upon available facts, that prior to Election Day, Trump and his campaign had personal and business dealings with certain individuals and entities linked to criminal elements including reputed Russian gangsters connected to Putin.
The same facts suggest that the FBI knew or should have known enough prior to the election to justify informing the public about its ongoing investigation of potentially compromising relationships between Trump, Putin, and Russian mobsters even if it meant losing or exposing a valued informant.
Very interesting.

OP
Clinton Email investigation "ended", so he gave his press conference on July 5.

it's incredibly complex and the article suggests the story is unlikely to be unravelled soon

and makes me want to lose my MIND over Comey outing one thing and not the other.
I wanna know if he regrets it and would change that.
If not, then fuck him forever.
When I say "obvious" I mean it is clear this is true, this is what has been happening.

Russiagate has been ongoing since July, so he didn't comment.
That's the spin anyway.

what a damn mess. Worst of all, there's no smoking gun for prosecuting Trump here either.

(241 posts)6. With People like
Nunes running back to the Whitehouse the FBI can't be forthcoming. The investigation is ongoing and they surely don't want to give away information that could damage their case. They are most likely now gathering information on the cover up.
