You could be forgiven for having a difficult time following all the players in the continuing saga that has engulfed Congressional committees, the president, the FBI, the NSA, Russia, the Clintons, former FBI Director Comey, WikiLeaks, the media, and who know how many others. The old baseball adage fits: “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard.”
Continuing the baseball metaphor, part of the problem is that it’s not entirely clear who is on whose team. Or for that matter, it’s not clear how many teams there are.
When one sits down to write a piece about this turmoil, one question that comes to mind is how much do potential readers already know, and how much time should be spent rehearsing information in an attempt to help clarify things rather than to obfuscate — something our politicians do well enough anyway.
So when we begin a piece with the assertion that Special Counsel Mueller might be accused of doing the very thing former FBI Director Comey accused President Trump of doing, do your eyes just glaze over, or is this all crystal clear to you?
We’ll try to straighten this out and clarify things for you, as well as hopefully explaining why this is important on page two.
endless federal investigations ,no reason for them ,the Dems could m not beat him in the election ,so they are the cause of these endless investigtions trying to take him down any.way they can ,CREEPS if there was an honest b investigation of the Dems actions in the last 6 b or 7 years there would be.more than a few in the slammer

Billy-
Thanks for the brevity tip.
It is bad for foreign governments to fund campaigns for public office in the US. Another word for it is … illegal.
Hillary’s fundraising is subject to the same laws. If she broke campaign finance laws, then she must be held to account.
I have not discussed possible manipulation of voting machines. Although, the protection of the integrity of these systems is of paramount importance.
What I think happened with the Russia hacking is:
Putin did not want HRC to be elected. (These two have a history).
He wanted Trump to be elected. (An established financial partner with many Russian friends).
Putin had Russian cyber specialists hack DNC and other databases and already had launched social media disinformation campaigns against HRC.
Putin confirmed, in a meeting with Trump campaign personnel, that Trump wanted Russian oppo research on HRC.
Hacked info was provided by Russia to wikileaks.
Material immediately picked up by Trump and used in real time.
Trump has now conspired with Putin to break campaign finance laws.
If Trump, once elected, uses his office to benefit Russia, either as a quid pro quo or under threat, Trump is operating to promote Russian interests and against American interests.
Has Trump ever …
Not defended Putin and Russia from charges of hacking?
Charges of killing journalists?….
Undermining NATO?
Withdrawn US military support for our anti-Assad Syrian allies?
Attempted to remove sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine and interfering with our election?
Given top secret military info to Russian Foreign Minister in Oval Office with American media banned?
… Yes he has. Why?
To repay a favor?
To buy Putin’s silence?
This is our country we are talking about here.
Trump has betrayed our trust.
That is what I think is going on.
And that is what everyone in Washington, in Congress and in the White House thinks is going on. This is why the Republicans had no choice but to name a Special Prosecutor.
And this is why that Special Prosecutor is so aggressively discharging his duty.
Emmett-
History will judge Obama.
Yes Trump is only six months in …
And look at the chaos he has created!
This is Trump!
It only gets worse from here.
Yes Emmett, Trump has failed.
But he has failed faster than any President in history.
My opinion Christopher is you are kinda stupid stating things as fact with no evidence of course you got your clue from corrupt party leaders that are trying every dirty crooked trick than can to take him down no evidence that he has compromised his self with Putin are you nuts his greatest expertise in the constitution was in the n part thst dealt with civil rights and hiw he could twist the constitution to fit his agenda as community organizer Aka as rebel rouser you call him a professor.of law for 12 years hardly he made a few guest appearances to lecture hardly a full professor of law I would characterise him as con man in chief,what a letdown for those who voted for Obama hoping for good when all they got bad,and division
Turn the tables
Christopher Schocklee another she male driving a Prius. Keep having your temper tantrum little lady but we deemed your type irrelevant 8 months ago. Hope you fimd your penis but either way enjoy the next 8 years little lady
Sounds like Chris has no life. Do you live in Mommys basement still? Wahhh wahh 63 million LEGAL citizens don’t give a$#%&!@*about your whining
BS once again!
Emmett-
You clearly cannot get your head around the fact that someone like President Obam was a two term President of the United States of America, and was elected by the two largest popular vote counts in history. You are further angered by the fact that he will be regarded as a particularly successful President and will be enshrined in history in a place of honor.
My analysis of the Russia Scandal was in response to a direct request for my thinking on the matter.
