But it's not the one you're hearing about
It’s not the one you’re hearing about. All the media attention is on the notion that Russians “hacked the election” or something. Or they’re telling us again that there’s “no evidence” Trump Tower was wiretapped, even though the investigation isn’t over yet and we can’t possibly know that.
But here’s what we do know: Someone committed a felony by releasing the names of Trump campaign associates whose phone conversations were caught in surveillance. Congressman Trey Gowdy covered it on Monday during the James Comey testimony. Congressman Devin Nunes gave more detail later in the week.
This whole thing fascinates me, and it is because of the main point of this article. He has it exactly right. The most important issue is “who is responsible for the leak?”.
And if we ever find out, someone is going to prison. Meanwhile, the leaked information itself is literally nothing. Its content doesn’t even suggest anything, other than, like a LOT of people, they talked to people who are Russian.
Now, that may sound odd to a lot of Americans that are middle to upper middle class, that have never had dealings with international movers and shakers, but for anyone doing business on an international level, arguing that they DIDN’T talk with Russians, would be more troubling. It would strongly suggest a cover-up. The leaked information exposes no wrongdoing, but the leak itself is a serious federal crime and MUST be investigated.
When was the last time a congressional investigation accomplished anything? Indictments, etc. Someone help me...
Congress has no prosecutorial authority. Congress has the ‘power of the purse’, determines organizational responsibility, and can impeach and remove officials at will.
Since Congress does not exert the authority to which it is entitled, the courts and the bureaucracy have their way, like teenagers under no parental authority and with access to credit cards.
LOLOLOL! Well, so do a lot of Fox News hosts every day. Think Julie Roginsky -- that looney leftist, Democrap talking points mouthpiece.
As a matter of fact, my husband took a defensive driving class with a young Russian man who got kicked out of the class by the instructor for missing a session (he was in court) and was told to not come back until he brought a translator. His crime was getting nailed for doing 105 mph on our small town's main street (speed limit 35mph). So, I guess the next thing is that everybody in that class "talked to a Russian".
We've got a lot of them around here. They were sponsored and settled here in the late 1980s, and beyond, after the Russians decided to let them go. They've prospered, and most of them are citizens now. They've bought houses, mostly in the same neighborhood, and have brought other members of their families over. They all vote, and I'm quite certain that most of them vote Democrat -- the changing numbers in our town reveal that.
...my husband took a defensive driving class with a young Russian man...
(just kidding) :-)
The foul odor is powerful on this one.
