Top Democrats Call on FBI to Investigate Trump Ties to Russia Over Hacking
Top Democrats on four House committees that oversee national security on Friday called on the FBI to investigate Donald Trump's purported ties to the Russian government and its alleged hacking of Democratic groups and operatives.
"Troubling new evidence appears to show that the Trump campaign not only was aware of cyber attacks against Secretary Clinton's campaign chairman, but was openly bragging about it as far back as August," read a joint statement from Reps. Elijah Cummings, John Conyers, Elliot Engel and Bennie Thompson, who are respectively the ranking members of the House Committees on Oversight and Government Reform, Judiciary, Foreign Affairs, and Homeland Security.
"For months, we have been asking the FBI to examine links between the Trump campaign and illegal Russian efforts to affect our election," the Democrats' statement continued. "In light of this new evidence -- and these exceptional circumstances -- we call on the FBI to fully investigate and explain to the American people what steps it is taking to disrupt this ongoing criminal activity." ...
Trump continues to highlight the Wikileaks dumps during campaign events, saying earlier this week in Pennsylvania, "I love WikiLeaks."
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's campaign has been trying to raise the alarm about what they call Russian government sponsored hacking intended to boost Trump.
Former CIA Director Michael Morell said on a conference call organized by the Clinton campaign Friday morning that he was "100 percent confident" that the Russian government was behind the Podesta hack, calling it "a direct assault on our democracy."
"Trump continues to play to Putin's hand almost every single day," Morell added.
FBI Director James Comey said in congressional testimony in late September that he was aware of Democrats' call for an investigation but that he would not "confirm whether there is or is not an investigation."

GOP Blocks Probes Into Trump-Russia Ties
But GOP leaders have refused to support efforts by Democrats to investigate any possible Trump-Russia connections, which have been raised in news reports and closed-door intelligence briefings. And without their support, Democrats, as the minority in both chambers of Congress, cannot issue subpoenas to potential witnesses and have less leverage to probe Trump.
Privately, Republican congressional staff told The Daily Beast that Trump and his aides’ connections to Russian officials and businesses interests haven’t gone unnoticed and are concerning. And GOP lawmakers have reviewed Democrats’ written requests to the FBI that it investigate Trump before they were made public.
But the lawmakers in both chambers have declined to sign on to them. Republicans have no appetite to launch inquiries into their party’s presidential nominee, and they continue to believe the FBI flubbed its investigation into Clinton and her aides,

SO PLANT.. why is it that when it comes to Clinton, director Comey brings this little thing out eleven days before the election.

Because lots of people are just stupid, and they stupidly think expressing their (generally perfectly legitimate) anger is more important than anything else. But they, and all of us, will end up regretting it. But, like Brexit, too late.
For a short term thrill to use the voting booth as an anger management tool, to shout out a huge FU to the system, they are willing to risk the entire democracy and perhaps the world (when he gets those stubby little fingers on The Button... ).

U.S. Economy Roars Back, Grew 2.9% in Third Quarter
Growth rate was the fastest recorded in two years after expanding an anemic 1.4% in the second quarter
Plantagenet wrote:Isn't that obvious?
The FBI has found thousands of Clinton government emails on the laptop Wierner uses to email out pictures of his wiener. Some of them are apparently classified (I mean the emails are classified---not the Wiener's wiener pics).
If the FBI delayed investigating this astonishing breach of national security until after the election, they would be accused of playing politics.
Comey did the right thing by following standard procedures and moving as soon as possible to investigate what appears to be an immense leak of highly classified government documents.
Come on now----aren't you curious how thousands of Hillary's emails wound up stored on Wiener's computer next to all his pictures of his wiener? Did Hillary send her classified emails to Wiener in exchange for his Wiener pics?
Maybe Huma made secret copies of all the classified government email traffic and took it home and stored to secret emails on Wiener's laptop until she could sell it to Russia?
What in heck is going on with the friggin email anyway??!!?!?!?!

Okay so what is the actual email? Why is Comey just saying there's some new email out there, BUT HE WON'T SAY WHAT IT IS and then that's just leaving it hanging for voters to wonder about. Eleven days before the election. Doesn't seem fair to me.

There is no possible impropriety there to investigate.
Hillary excepting bribes (disguised as charitable donations) in exchange for access to the State Department and policy changes in favor of the bribe payers is a crime.
Why can't you see past her curtain of lies Six?

GOP Blocks Probes Into Trump-Russia Ties

Trump’s affection for Russia’s Putin knows no bounds
Donald Trump just can’t seem to stop. A week after the Republican nominee said he’d like to incorporate the Russian leader into his post-election presidential transition process, and sided with Putin over U.S. intelligence agencies, Trump now wants Hillary Clinton to be nicer to the foreign foe.
Let me get this straight. When it comes to foreign affairs, Trump believes it’s perfectly “smart” to speak “very badly” about China, Mexico, NATO allies, and others. When it comes to domestic affairs, Trump has no qualms about speaking “very badly” about women, Latinos, African Americans, veterans, immigrants, people with disabilities, U.S. military leaders, and America’s elected leaders.
But if Hillary Clinton has unkind words for Russia’s authoritarian bully, that rubs Trump the wrong way. It’s just not “smart,” in the GOP candidate’s eyes.
