FBI Director Comey Confirms Investigation Into Trump Campaign (reuters.com)

FBI Director James Comey confirmed during testimony before Congress Monday that the FBI is investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with a covert Russian campaign to interfere with the election. From a report on Reuters: Comey told a congressional hearing on Russian activities that the probe "includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts. Because it is an open, ongoing investigation and is classified, I cannot say more about what we are doing and whose conduct we are examining," Comey said. Earlier, the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, Republican Representative Devin Nunes, told the same hearing that the panel had seen no evidence of collusion between Russia and Trump's 2016 campaign. Nunes also denied an unsubstantiated claim from Trump that there had been a wiretap on his Trump Tower in New York but said it was possible other surveillance was used against the Republican.

Fake News at its best

The same guy who, despite having hard physical evidence that Hillary broke the law in possessing classified information on a personal computer, obstructed justice by destroying evidence of same, and so on and so forth, declined charging her for "lack of evidence..."... that guy... is now saying that, in spite of a COMPLETE lack of ANY evidence, it is appropriate to go off on a witch hunt against the guy who beat Hillary fair and square in the election.

There's no bias here at all. Really. I mean it.

A liberal elite that would not cut funding for meals on wheels. A liberal elite that would not have abandoned humanitarian aid for South Sudan in a time of crisis. A liberal elite that would have kept all the programs that benefit veterans and aging people who didn't vote for her or trust her anyway. A liberal elite who would have kept the after-school programs that keep children off the streets. A liberal elite who cares is much better than a populist demagogue backed by an entire party of elites.

True: a liberal elite that hands out tax dollars like candy to its cronies, while US inner cities sink deeper and deeper into poverty and violence and while social security and the medical system careen out of control towards the abyss.

That's because all that that liberal elite really cares about is their own wealth and power, and making it through the next election.

And the liberal mediocrity that votes for the liberal elite, people like you, don't give a f*ck about the poor here or in South Sudan either; all you are doing is trying to ease your conscience and assuage your guilt by advocating that other people do good deeds.

Go to hell.
