Oh you're talking about the house GOP report.

The committee closed its investigation as we’re learning more about various questionable episodes, such as a recently reported meeting in the Seychelles between Trump representative Erik Prince and a key Putin ally that may have been meant to set up a backchannel between Trump’s transition team and Russia. If we get to the truth about any of this, it won’t because of the House Intelligence Committee. “If the Russians do have leverage over the President of the United States, the Majority has simply decided it would rather not know,” Schiff said.

That will be the legacy of Nunes and other Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee: When they were called on to uncover the truth about Russia and the Trump campaign, they chose to abnegate their duty. Good riddance to an investigation that was equal parts dishonest and pointless.

In other news, Zuma's investigation into Zuma finds Zuma didn't do nothing.

If you think this is the end of the investigation in Russia, I have a bridge to sell you

I see Ann Coulter has a soft spot for "Christian, English-speaking S.A. farmers" and is pushing Trump to take them in as refugees!

Hey @realDonaldTrump - how about an executive order to take refugees EVERYONE would support? Christian, English-speaking S.A. farmers on verge of extermination. http://bit.ly/2pabpQu

Verge of extermination? Yoh, just another nice example of the propaganda doing the rounds in the US.

Sorry to the Afrikaans farming community, you are excluded.

Oh its the latest right wing propaganda meme. They have fully co-opted the farm attacks as proof positive of a white genocide.

Some conservative journalist, Lauren Southern visited SA recently and did a series of videos on the subject matter.

Oh, the investigation with respect to Russia continues quite sincerely, it's just no longer taking claims of Russian/Trump collusion seriously.

And you can bet that Mueller's probe is about to get shut down hard.

Depends how expropriation without compensation plays out, doesn't it?

You heard it first here. Every right-wing conspiracy dream is about to come true at once. And it's all going to happen on or before April 6th because you know.... tick tick tick

 

[buka001]

Tillerson is gone. Pompeo to replace him.

Winning.

No its doesn't depend, there was no depend, if, buts or maybes in Coulters statement. Its propag .. Wait a second, im talking to Xannon, nevermind then.

The CIA is behind this.

Hail Trump, he filleth the swamp and he draineth it away, and then refilleth it with more swamp.

Lol. The Mueller probe no longer has a legal leg to stand on. Every last piece of evidence of Trump/Russian collusion can be traced straight back to the Dems now. There is zero evidence of criminal conduct.

 

[Xarog]

No its doesn't depend, there was no depend, if, buts or maybes in Coulters statement. Its propag .. Wait a second, im talking to Xannon, nevermind then.

Actually, it does depend on that, because if the calls for expropriation without compensation go through then the situation could very well snowball into a genocidal civil war.

Insult me all you like, it doesn't change the fact that you are wrong to claim it's merely propaganda.

 

[The_Assimilator]

So, Tillerson becomes the latest casualty of 45's revolving door policy.

And you can bet that Mueller's probe is about to get shut down hard.

Once again, allow me to remind you that the only way Mueller is going to stop before he's done is if he's fired, and the only way he'll get fired is if Trump decides to pull his own version of the Saturday Night Massacre. Which did a pretty good job of getting rid of Nixon, and would do the same for Trump.

So yeah, let Trump shut down Mueller. It would mean the end of 45's political career, which at this point is the best possible outcome.

So it depends on something but Coulter doesnt say as much but its not propaganda , you get insulted because you defend every ounce of right wing drivel.

6th of April tick tock.

So what do you expect, is she supposed to become completely familiar with our domestic politics to the point where she can make judgement calls with respect to how serious Ramaphosa's olive branch to Malema is? :crylaugh:

you get insulted because you defend every ounce of right wing drivel.

Nah, I just like to give as good as I get. If you're going to go after me for Qanon stuff, well, then expect your cognitive dissonance(s) to be brought up at every convenient opportunity.

6th of April tick tock.

Frankly at this point it benefits me more to stick around just to piss you off. Do you really want to tempt me?

Except for the fact that every last shred of collusion claims can be directly traced back to the Dems and their opposition research duplicity. The thing which provoked the special council in the first place was Comey getting fired and then leaking classified documents like a little rat after admitting to Trump that the dossier contents were salacious and unverified. So Comey knew at the time that he was informing Trump about the Dossier that FISA abuse was going on, and he didn't inform Trump. As Trump said at the time, "I knew that the Russia thing was bogus". And what's even better is that Mike Rogers went to tell Trump about the bogus surveillance even before he became president.

So yeah, let Trump shut down Mueller. It would mean the end of 45's political career, which at this point is the best possible outcome.

Au contraire. Comey and Mueller are friends. A special counsel is not allowed to have a conflict of interest, and the special counsel can only be set up if there is actually evidence of criminal activity, and there is none to be had here.
