@STIFFBBC, I don't see why your so infatuated with Trump especially being from the northern bordering country and not even in America. You don't know whats going on internally here, the majority of people despise Trump with not even the disgust that was had for Obama. And so long as Trump is in office this will always be about the man he fawns over P U T I N too.

As the idiots said about Obama- same applies here to Trump:


View attachment 1242666
Immigrants to the country are pissed off, Women are pissed off from planned parent hood cuts and they haven't forgot about his sexist remarks, he is cutting money from the ACA (aka Obamacare) that elderly and poor needs, he is warring with the party he flipped to after being a Democrat for most of his life, he insults the Intelligence, and military class of Americans. He is easily making allot more enemies than friends I'll tell you that much.

From the Headlines today, The US GOVNT is on the verge of shutting down because of the game of chicken Trump wants to play with his own party which is just asinine.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program of getting the idiot in the oval office impeached with our theme music:
BOTTOM LINE: Trump is guilty of collusion with a foreign government to influence an American election and he does not deserve to be President of the US.

Make sure to click the link below and sign the petition to impeach the idiot in the oval office and kick out his goons too:
ref: https://www.change.org/p/the-people-impeach-donald-j-trump

The Constitution of the United States, Art. 2, S. 4, provides that the president, vice-president, and civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of treason, bribery, and/or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

We, the undersigned, lobby for the impeachment of Donald J. Trump suspected of treason, in violation of THE USA PATRIOT ACT for conspiring with Russia in tampering with the results of the 2016 election. He and his administration are an immediate threat to national security and his use of intimidation as president presents undeniable challenges in this investigation. Ergo, we petition his immediate removal from office as well as the removal of Vice President Mike Pence and all civil officers appointed under his rule, pending the results of his administration's investigation.

Donald J. Trump has violated the Federal law under civil and criminal ordinances with his documented use of libelous and insulting hate speech referencing citizens of color, immigrants, and those of the Muslim faith. His promotion and acceptance of violence towards the above stated has incited violence, discrimination and increased tensions throughout this nation.

Furthermore, Donald J. Trump is in violation of state law in the following 34 states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois,Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.

He is guilty of multiple counts of cyber bullying, before, during and following his election campaign; the most egregious being his statements regarding Mexicans, Muslims, the black community and his continuous taunting of China. Unlawful conduct of any kind, be it past, present or future is unacceptable of any person holding the office of President of the United States of America. He has caused international conflict with our allies and is dangerously close to destroying peaceful foreign relations.

Donald J.Trump’s leadership poses a threat to the peace and safety of our nation on both national and international levels. His immoral reputation and misconduct are an embarrassment and threat to the freedoms this country stands for and will not be tolerated by United States citizens.

Wow! The lengths you are willing to remove Trump from office amazes me @bigblackbull76! America is your country and it is your right to follow through with this, but even if I were an American where I possessed dual citizenship to sign your petition I would not sign it. Why?

I believe Trump is not racist. Why is that? The common denominator of the following supporters of Trump I am about to cite are Black. Dr. Ben Carson is in his administration. Omarosa, from the Apprentice, is in his administration. And Pastor Darrell Scott had that speech at the RNC that supported Trump. If your memory fails who he is it's this guy:


Unfortunately I do not have that specific clip of him to share, but should I find it on-line I'll make a point to do so: I once heard Darrell Scott speak on a TV show last year where he and a group of other pastors had a chance to meet Trump several years before he even considered running for president. His initial belief is the man was a racist but he was stupefied to realize how many people of color worked for Trump at the Trump tower in positions of authority. Plus Trump didn't go out of his way to prove anything to him: he simply laid out everything and within reason he could see how things worked there. Years afterward he communicated with him by phone and in person, and from his friendship with Trump he made that speech I shared above at the RNC based on his firm belief of who Trump is.

However, I discovered an interview where Darrell Scott spoke about Trump on Fox News that shows another hidden softer side of Trump that he knows which partially validates what I said of Darrell Scott above: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6xclin-gJ4 )

I watched Trump's campaign too and I did recall him making some unflattering speeches but to be a politician one has to be the ultimate whore and appeal to as many people as possible. And a speech that Trump does in Harlem is not the same speech he might do in the Deep South where he becomes a chameleon and matches as best as possible the mindset and the beliefs of each of his audiences.

As for women's mistrust of Trump? He had loads of support of women as Myriam Witcher is a Latina that supports Trump.


Moreover there are hundreds of thousands of women on Facebook and other social media that are pro Trump. Why?
I'll let a woman explain from a portion from the article in the Guardian last year:

( courtesy of https://www.theguardian.com/lifeand...because-misogyny-is-not-a-male-only-attribute )

"Susan Sarandon told us why she would not vote for Hillary Clinton: “I don’t vote with my vagina.” Nor, it seems, do many women. The howl of pain that accompanied the post-election analysis has often centred on that one disturbing statistic: 53% of white women voted for a man who calls women pigs, has a string of sexual assault claims still outstanding, who will happily turn back women’s rights to contraception and abortion if it suits him. Women beware women." (As women don't necessarily always agree with each other.)

Even in the campaign where Trump spoke of "crooked Hillary" and there was an adjoining phrase of "lock her up". Is America anywhere near doing so? No as Hillary is as free as a bird. So it was a non sequitur, where it does not follow, and indirectly Trump showed her mercy. Imagine that?
(
)
(
)

What is my personal interest with Trump?

I have issues against Planned Parenthood. And I am astonished that such a wise man as yourself would support such an organization with such vile roots. We went through this before and I did with our friend @subhub174014 so I feel like I'd be repeating myself, however should you or others reading this thread want my reasons feel free to observe my reasons at: ( https://www.blacktowhite.net/threads/trump-wins.79333/page-92#post-1353218 ). But to me it would be as if you supported the KKK where you, as a Black male, wanted to apply for being a grand wizard as the one who founded it was the late Margaret Sanger. Her racism would eclipse that of Trump's alleged racism by millions if not billions or trillions. And if she had her way if she were still alive she would gladly ******* you and all Blacks in America plus look for a means to ******* myself and all Blacks in Canada as well as everywhere else afterwards. Then eliminate all other non Whites in the world like Ms. Pacman eating dots.

( http://www.webpacman.com/mspacman.htm ( You seem stressed out play this for awhile at your leisure. :) ) )

Moreover, you know I suggested how FDR was more racist than Hitler because FDR didn't congratulate Jesse Owens after he won medals in the German Olympics yet Hitler congratulated him and even the German people posthumously named a street after him in Germany? ( https://www.blacktowhite.net/threads/trump-wins.79333/page-14#post-1223768, or from Jesse Owens's wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Owens ) Well I am certainly going back to the founding of both our nations where there were politicians historically poisonously racist against Blacks as well as other minority groups. Would you propose a Nuremberg-like Trials but exhume the bodies of these shamed dead leaders? If so, how would that work??? I'd fear it would lead nowhere just as Obama was so far the only Black US President and nothing ever came in terms of reparations for American Blacks for slavery and centuries of racism?

Another reason why I support Trump is religious in nature and I don't know if this would resonate with you depending on your religious background. But to me, what made America great was it's support for Israel. If you need a Biblical reference look at Genesis 12:3 in the King James Version of the Bible, it states:

"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

That was a promise made by God to Abram, who became Abraham, which passed to Isaac, Jacob and over the centuries passed to Israel. At your peril if you wish to test it do so, but don't blame me if you opt to try the curse.

Also look at my nation as an example. During Justin's Trudeau's predecessor, Stephen Harper, who was an extremely strong supporter of Israel as well as a fiscal conservative, for a brief time our Canadian dollar was stronger than the American dollar
( http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repo...istory-of-the-canadian-dollar/article1366590/ ) and this article shows at that time the Canadian dollar was at 91 cents to the US dollar
( http://business.financialpost.com/n...ak-loonie-not-the-catastrophe-canadians-think ). Now, thanks to Justin Trudeau, the value of the Canadian dollar is valued at around 74 cents to the US dollar, plus with the Bank Of Canada website you can see how the Canadian dollar is free falling during Justin Trudeau's leadership too
( http://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchange/legacy-noon-and-closing-rates/usd-can-summary/ ). That does not seem to be a coincidence to me.


P U T I N

You cite Trump's chummy relationship with P U T I N, but ever since Trump's righteous indignation of the gassing of men, women and children in Syria where he bombed it, Trump and P U T I N are no longer as close. Why? Russia has a lot invested in Syria as they have relations with them for over a hundred years and its investments in the country were valued at $19.4 billion in 2009, according to The Moscow Times, and its exports to Syria were worth $1.1 billion in 2010
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia–Syria_relations )
( http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/08/politics/syria-trump-Poroshenko-relationship/ )
[NOTE: FOR THE LINK ABOVE TO WORK SUBSTITUTE "p u t i n" WITHOUT SPACES OR QUOTES INSTEAD OF PUTIN.]

As for the Russian intervention with the US election, I would be waiting for an impartial third party like James Comey ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Comey ) use his authority as the FBI director to arrest Trump if he is found guilty of treasonous acts with the Russians, but that has yet to happen.



Furthermore I suggest you double check everything, because at times America does get things wrong. For example, a blessing being in Canada is that we are exposed to a lot more international news at times. One recent Canadian documentary I watched in explicit historic detail connected the dots and showed how DAESH aka ISIS / ISIL originated
( http://www.cbc.ca/passionateeye/episodes/the-secret-history-of-isis1 ).

In case you can't view the video listed directly above from America, it was all about Al-Zarqawi's rise from an underling of Bin Laden, to his partner, and then his successor thanks to the CIA after a confusing path as to decide who caused 9-11 and trying to put the blame on Saddam Hussein when he had nothing to do with it because Saddam threatened George H. Bush and George W. Bush wanted to get him. When the US killed Al-Zarqawi a successor arose, Al-Bagdadi, and he carried the baton to what you see today with sectarian violence with Sunni muslims killing Shia muslims. Even destroying their mosques. The documentary was excellent in connecting the dots after the fact. But this is my Coles notes on the topic for any who is interested.

Also, there was that Gulf of Tonkin incident too
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident ). It was a complete lie made up by the Johnson Administration to persuade America to go to war with Vietnam. In the article above you will find a passage that states:

"In 1995, retired Vietnamese Defense Minister, Võ Nguyên Giáp, meeting with former Secretary McNamara, denied that Vietnamese gunboats had attacked American destroyers on August 4, while admitting to the attack on August 2.[45][46] A taped conversation of a meeting several weeks after passage of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was released in 2001, revealing that McNamara expressed doubts to President Johnson that the attack had even occurred.[citation needed]"

What you @bigblackbull76 are intending to do is quite unprecedented and before you take such extreme measures to remove Trump from office I'd hope you would ten times check everything just to ensure you are not making a mistake. For with all of the resources the US government had at it's disposal and it made the mistakes I cited above, how much easier would it be for citizens to do the same?

I don't mean to enter the realm of conspiracy theory, but what if all this anger against Trump was to achieve some type of goal? What that is I don't know? If that might be correct I'd hate to see your efforts blow up against you like Elmer Fudd trying to ******* Bugs Bunny being a cunning Trump who was able to best 16 other candidates, Hillary Clinton, and even the Republican Party itself where even notable members like Mitt Romney had unflattering things he said of Trump if you recall ( http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/trump-romney-insults-231839 ), or ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iefXdC794I ).

Therefore, you can put me down for the option unlisted in your poll where Trump NEVER gets impeached. Peace.

Senate investigation into Russia scandal faces GOP resistance

Nearly a month ago, the top two officials on the Senate Intelligence Committee held a press conference to discuss their probe of the Russia scandal, and one could almost hear the sigh of relief from the political world. Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Ranking Member Mark Warner (D-Va.), acting very much like grown-ups, said their investigation was on track, and operating in a cooperative, methodical, and bipartisan way. Trump Russia national security investigator leaving DoJ Matthew Miller, former Justice Department spokesperson, talks with Rachel Maddow about the announced departure of Mary McCord, who is in charge of the Justice Department’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the ...

Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein on Trump-Russia investigation: 'Oh my god, there's a cover-up going on'

Famed Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein says that the investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn could end up revealing a “cover-up” of alleged connections between President Donald Trump's team and Russia.

“There, he is central to what the FBI believes is a cover-up going on among people close to the president of the United States about what happened with the Trump campaign and Russia,” Mr Bernstein, who is now a CNN commentator, said. "The FBI, the congressional investigators are trying to learn what happened. And Flynn is almost like the ball of yarn that begins to unspool and is key to understanding it."

Mr Bernstein said that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, now that he is leading the Justice Department's probe into Russia's role alleged in the election, will eventually see that there is a cover-up as well.

"He is going to see, ‘Oh my god, there’s a cover-up going on,’" Bernstein said.

The comments came just a day after a bipartisan press conference in which the top members of the House Oversight Committee said that Mr Flynn likely violated the law by failing to disclose foreign connections and payments when applying for a security clearance.

Representative Jason Chaffetz, the chairman of the committee, said that he had seen no indicator that the disgraced national security adviser disclosed a $45,000 payment he had received from Russian state-owned television network RT for giving a speech. Mr Flynn also appeared to have received more than $500,000 for representing the Turkish government.

“I think it's obvious that Gen. Flynn is in up to his neck in terms, not just of possible crimes involving his speeches and whether or not he registered as a foreign agent, which he should have and didn’t,” Mr Bernstein said.

Comey won't until he has everything!... all his ducks in a row!
from what I last read there is still stuff coming in... like the private meeting on an island with DeVito's brother n law... who was also a part of the trump campaign... lot more coming in from other countries

And that's exactly why Trump is still president, unless you can think of anyone else with the kind of authority that James Comey possesses that can remove Trump from office in the meantime?

well you don't go to trial with info still coming in!
hell they are still finding out more about Flynn!
and there are several lawsuits against Trump on ethics and etc... which congress can act on!
also Comey can not push trump out... he just presents what he has to congress and they are the ones that have to do it.... although a lot of the right is dragging their feet on a lot right now.... with all the programs they want to push through... and with Trump either not looking or not caring is just signing away!

Again time will tell.
 
IF... IF that commie-pervert was/is so innocent.... why is there so much cover up coming from the white house and people close to him?
As you said with James Comey, the White House would need to get their ducks in a row to prove Trump's innocence too. But if you feel so strongly against Trump it is your right as an American to campaign against him or promote someone else that can during your next election. And / Or find ways to secure the vote from P U T I N.
 
the White House would need to get their ducks in a row to prove Trump's innocence too.

they are doing all they can to hide and disrupt and cover up... but it will come out always does... but then maybe this is all just a game for trump... to make as much as he can for himself... and then duck out... his new tax proposal benefits himself on 3 different areas.... each one about 10 million a year
he is in this strictly for the money!

In case you can't view the video listed directly above from America, it was all about Al-Zarqawi's rise from an underling of Bin Laden, to his partner, and then his successor thanks to the CIA after a confusing path as to decide who caused 9-11 and trying to put the blame on Saddam Hussein when he had nothing to do with it because Saddam threatened George H. Bush and George W. Bush wanted to get him. When the US killed Al-Zarqawi a successor arose, Al-Bagdadi, and he carried the baton to what you see today with sectarian violence with Sunni muslims killing Shia muslims. Even destroying their mosques. The documentary was excellent in connecting the dots after the fact. But this is my Coles notes on the topic for any who is interested.

Also, there was that Gulf of Tonkin incident too
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident ). It was a complete lie made up by the Johnson Administration to persuade America to go to war with Vietnam. In the article above you will find a passage that states:

"In 1995, retired Vietnamese Defense Minister, Võ Nguyên Giáp, meeting with former Secretary McNamara, denied that Vietnamese gunboats had attacked American destroyers on August 4, while admitting to the attack on August 2.[45][46] A taped conversation of a meeting several weeks after passage of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was released in 2001, revealing that McNamara expressed doubts to President Johnson that the attack had even occurred.[citation needed]"

What you @bigblackbull76 are intending to do is quite unprecedented and before you take such extreme measures to remove Trump from office I'd hope you would ten times check everything just to ensure you are not making a mistake. For with all of the resources the US government had at it's disposal and it made the mistakes I cited above, how much easier would it be for citizens to do the same?

I don't mean to enter the realm of conspiracy theory, but what if all this anger against Trump was to achieve some type of goal? What that is I don't know? If that might be correct I'd hate to see your efforts blow up against you like Elmer Fudd trying to ******* Bugs Bunny being a cunning Trump who was able to best 16 other candidates, Hillary Clinton, and even the Republican Party itself where even notable members like Mitt Romney had unflattering things he said of Trump if you recall ( http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/trump-romney-insults-231839 ), or ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iefXdC794I ).

Therefore, you can put me down for the option unlisted in your poll where Trump NEVER gets impeached. Peace.

Whats wrong with the pics of the Presidential Rolex on the left?
real-vs-fake-rolex-watch-stampings1.jpg
real-vs-fake-rolex-movement1.jpg
Just like the 45th elected President of the US they are fakes, Trump is not a real President, should not be believed, thrown-out and impeached. The entire 2016 election was a sham with manipulated involvement by a foreign government that launched a successful disinformation campaign in collusion with the leading Republican candidate and members of the GOP as co-conspirators (the axe fell on Michale Flynn last week as the proof that is dripping out), a foreign group of hackers illegally leaking stolen US campaign data who should be tried and punished, and involvement by the US Federal Burea of Investigation that broke neutrality manipulating the hearts and minds of the US.

Ok I get it, you don't like to read facts from alternative news sources that are not right-leaning/conservative bible thumbing God loves America for its support of Israel stuff. Well here is a picture to make things simple for you:

Screen Shot 2017-04-30 at 3.10.07 PM.png

No matter how many links and videos you want to post @STIFFBBC about why Trump is not a racist that I'll never look at based on the amount of black preachers/leaders you can count on both of your hands like Dr. Ben Carson - "the pyramids stored rice to the top in them", and Omarosa " who is an opportunist and band-wagon jumper. Did you know she was for Hillary before she got brought out too:

Screen Shot 2017-04-30 at 2.13.58 PM.png

As the other Tyrant and ego-maniac in history Napoleon had said: "...there must be religion otherwise the poor would ******* the rich."

You can save your holier than thou sermons here and lectures on the evils of America, how they were the cause of ISIL, Vietname war, the fall of Iran and blow-back to this date that I'm more well aware of than you probably are in a level that you wouldn't know. Not all American's are unaware of International news or foreign objective news sources as I rely on those view-points more than the US because I know that the powers that be in the US do manipulate the narratives to their liking.

So you can stop wasting your time posting here your not in tune with whats going on. As a person who actually lives in America that works around the DC area with lots of people who happen to be white from NY to CALI, they all voice to me their disgust and problems with Trump as a complete idiot. A good co-worker and friend of mine who did vote and supports Trump told me his wife retired early from Government before Trump got sworn in and calls him Voldermort (from Harry Potter - the name that shall not be mentioned) in the house. The guy told me its pretty funny that he is right-leaning and that his wife is completely disgusted by Trump and can't even bring up his name in the house.

We are talking about the same guy who admits to getting his INTEL briefings from Fox cable news and breitbart blog feeds and you want to talk about American's not be informed. Only the uninformed easily gullible people believe his B.S. Real people know he is a total narcissist ego-maniac that cares more about himself and image than truly M.A.G.A.

Any reason why FBI director, James Comey, didn't make any moves to remove Trump from office yet, provided Trump is guilty?
And that's exactly why Trump is still president, unless you can think of anyone else with the kind of authority that James Comey possesses that can remove Trump from office in the meantime?

Again you are ill-informed and hence why you lack an understanding of the gravity with the situation with Trump and his sham of an election.

The FBI's intelligence activities are overseen by the Director of National Intelligence. Hence Comey reports to the ODNI which is a Presidential appointed cabinet position and the POTUS can direct the ODNI to hold other INTEL investigations as a higher priority (i.e. starting a war with Syria, North Korea) and help stymie and push other investigations they don't deem important or embarrassing in this case to the back burner.

Here are the straight FACTS/ unlike just links to videos and right-wing OP-EDs:

Here's how the Senate's Trump-Russia probe stacks up to past investigations

screen shot 2017-04-25 at 75902 am.png

The Senate's main investigation into allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election is equipped with a much smaller staff than previous high-profile intelligence and scandal probes in Congress, which could potentially affect its progress, according to sources and a Reuters review of public records.

With only seven staff members initially assigned to the Senate Intelligence Committee's three-month-old investigation, progress has been sluggish and minimal, said two sources with direct knowledge of the matter, who requested anonymity.

A committee aide, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said two more staff members were being added and a few others were involved less formally.

"We need to pick up the pace," Senator Martin Heinrich, a committee Democrat, told Reuters on Monday. "It is incumbent on us to have the resources to do this right and expeditiously, and I think we need additional staff."

While some directly involved in the investigation disputed characterizations of the probe as off track, the appearance of a weak Senate investigation could renew calls by some Democrats and other Trump critics for a commission independent of the Republican-led Congress to investigate the allegations.

The intelligence committees of the Senate and House of Representatives have taken the lead in Congress in examining whether Russia tried to influence the election in Republican Trump's favor, mostly by hacking Democratic operatives' emails and releasing embarrassing information, or possibly by colluding with Trump associates. Russia has denied such meddling.

With the House intelligence panel's investigation for weeks stymied by partisan squabbles, the Senate committee's parallel probe had appeared to be the more serious of the two, with Republican Chairman Richard Burr and top Democrat Mark Warner promising a thorough and bipartisan effort.

Burr, a member of Congress since 1995, last month called the Russia probe one of the biggest investigations undertaken in Congress during his tenure.

Previous investigations of national security matters have been much larger in terms of staffing than the one Burr is overseeing, according to a review of official reports produced by those inquiries, which traditionally name every staff member involved.

A House committee formed to investigate the 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans had 46 staffers and eight interns.

The Senate Intelligence Committee's years-long study of the CIA's "enhanced" interrogation techniques during President George W. Bush's administration had 20 staff members, according to the panel's official report.

A special commission separate from Congress that reviewed the intelligence that wrongly concluded former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction ahead of the 2003 invasion of Iraq involved 88 staffers.

A special Senate committee's 1970s investigation into Watergate-era surveillance practices tapped 133 staffers.

A joint House-Senate probe of the 1980s Iran-Contra affair during Ronald Reagan's presidency involving secret sales of arms to Iran to try to win the release of American hostages, with proceeds going to Nicaraguan rebels, had 181 staffers.

Spokeswomen for Burr and for Warner declined to comment on the staffing levels.

'Indicators of a commitment'
The listed sizes of various investigations may be an imperfect comparison because not all staffers listed may have actually had a substantial role, congressional sources said. Investigations often grow in size over time, and a committee aide said the panel had secured $1.2 million in additional funding for the Russia election investigation.

But the numbers are still broadly "relevant as indicators of a commitment to an investigation," said Steven Aftergood, a secrecy expert with the Federation of American Scientists.

"For this investigation to be successful, the committee must recognize the enormity of the job and provide the resources to tackle it," Senator Ron Wyden, another committee Democrat, said in a statement.

Wyden sent a letter last month to Burr and Warner requesting that the probe include a thorough review of any financial ties between Russia and Trump and his associates.

us-senates-top-tax-lawmaker-targets-corporate-offshore-profits-2016-9.jpg
Wyden speaks with reporters the weekly after party caucus luncheons at the U.S. Capitol in Washington Thomson Reuters

None of the staffers possess substantial investigative experience or a background in Russian affairs, two of the sources said.

The investigation has not yet conducted interviews with Trump associates suspected of having links to Russian intelligence services, two sources and the aide said.

The investigators have focused on reviewing thousands of pages of documents supporting a previous U.S. intelligence agency finding that Russia interfered to help Trump, and have spoken with intelligence officials in preparation for interviewing key witnesses, they said.

The House intelligence panel's chairman, Republican Devin Nunes, who was a member of Trump's presidential transition team, on April 6 stepped aside from leading that probe because he was under investigation by the House ethics committee for allegedly disclosing classified information.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also conducting a wide ranging counter-intelligence investigation into alleged Russian interference and potential collusion with Trump associates, though its findings may never become public.

These are the key names that keep coming up in the Trump-Russia investigation

With news of business deals, undisclosed phone calls, and secret meetings coming to light daily, keeping up with the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election has been difficult.

The Senate and House Intelligence Committees are conducting investigations (the latter of which has been called into question), and the FBI is in conducting its own probe to determine whethe Trump's team had any contact with Russian officials during the election, and whether the two sides coordinated to undermine Hillary Clinton's candidacy.

Here are the key names to follow in the Trump-Russia investigations:

Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser

After some early criticism over his speech at a 2015 gala honoring state-sponsored news agency Russia Today in Moscow, former national security adviser Michael Flynn came under scrutiny after then-Attorney General Sally Yates warned the White House that he had "misled senior administration officials about the nature of his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States" in January.

Flynn resigned from his role as Trump's national security adviser on February 13, after reports emerged that he had discussed the possibility of easing US-Russia sanctions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman

Paul Manafort stepped down from his role as Trump's campaign chairman in August after negative reports surfaced about his work with the ousted, pro-Russia president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.

The AP reported last week that Manafort collaborated with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska for years to promote the interests of the Putin government and stifle anti-Russian opposition across numerous post-Soviet countries.

Manafort has volunteered to be interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee about Russia's intererence in the election.

Jared Kushner, Trump's *******-in-law and senior adviser

Trump's *******-in-law and top adviser, Jared Kushner, this week became the closest person to Trump to be caught up in the investigations into possible collusion between Trump associates and Russia.

Kushner has volunteered to be interviewed by the Senate Intelligence Committee about his December meetings with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and, later, with the CEO of Russia's state-owned Vnesheconombank.

Carter Page, Trump's former foreign policy adviser

Carter Page, an early foreign policy adviser to Trump's campaign, traveled to Moscow in July 2016 to speak at the New Economic School.

There, he criticized US foreign policy and allegedly met with Igor Sechin, the CEO of Russia's state oil company, to discuss lifting US sanctions on Russia in exchange for a cut of the company's huge privatization deal.

Page took "a leave of absence" from the campaign in late September, but has volunteered to be interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee about his contact with Russia during the election.



Roger Stone, Trump's former political consultant

Longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone volunteered to be interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee after he admitted to speaking privatey with a hacker who has since been linked back to Russia.

The hacker, Guccifer 2.0, claimed responsibility for hacking into the DNC computer network last spring. Stone told Business Insider earlier this month that he exchanged emails with the shadowy figure.

"Not exactly 007 stuff even if Gruccifer 2.0 [sic] was working for the Russkies," Stone said at the time. "Meaningless."

Devin Nunes, House Intelligence Committee Chairman

House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes is currently under fire for bypassing his committee members to brief the president on confidential intelligence reports he says came from a secret source on White House grounds.

Questioning Nunes' objectivity, the ranking Democrat of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff called on him to recuse himself from the Trump-Russia investigation on March 27.

Nunes, a California Republican, was a member of Trump's transition team to the White House.

Adam Schiff, a California Democrat and ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, has pushing strongly for an investigation into the Trump team's Russia ties.

On March 22, Schiff told MSNBC that "there is more than circumstantial evidence" of Trump associates' ties to the Kremlin.

Sergey Kislyak's communication with Trump campaign surrogates Michael Flynn and Jeff Sessions ultimately ****** Flynn to resign and for Sessions to recuse himself from investigations into Trump's Russia ties.

Kislyak also met with Jared Kushner and Flynn at Trump Tower in December, and organized a meeting between Kushner and the CEO of a sanctioned Russian bank later that month.

Rex Tillerson, US Secretary of State

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson first met Putin back in 1999 while he was the CEO of Exxon Mobil.

Tillerson subsequently struck a $3.2 billion deal with Russia's state-owned oil company Rosneft and was awarded Russia's Order of Friendship medal by Putin in 2013.

With the Trump-Russia investigation underway, Tillerson's past dealings with Russian officials have come under scrutiny, particularly at his Senate confirmation hearings.

James Comey, FBI director

FBI Director James Comey confirmed during a House Intelligence Committee hearing on March 21 that the bureau is examining whether there was any coordination between Trump associates and Russia during the campaign.

The FBI is looking into possible collusion as part of its broader investigation into Russia's election-related meddling, which it launched in late July 2016.

Democrats roundly criticized Comey for not announcing the Trump-Russia probe sooner, even as he was unusually forthcoming about the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

Thanks for your thorough analysis. For reasons I previously stated, I would still vote for Trump if I were an American during your previous election from what I knew at that time. However, if I had to vote for him in the next election the Russian ties that you suggest are troublesome to overlook unless they can be proven otherwise. I confess the FBI director might not be the right person to go to should Trump be formally arrested for the crimes of treason, but you have to admit a president losing office in the fashion you describe is quite unprecedented. Even Nixon's example does not apply here. Therefore the protocol that needs to be taken to correct this error would also be equally unprecedented.

I sense you have enough "fire in your belly" to run for office merely to get onto the spotlight and humiliate Trump in a debate. Of course should your eloquence and answers to America's problems resound with enough Americans I could have had the honor of chatting with @bigblackbull76 before he became the 46th POTUS? That will be for the future to answer, much like what will become of Trump?

I'd gladly trade my current Prime Minister for your Trump in a microsecond should you and many others ******* him out of America. You should see the damage what my sorry leader is doing to our dollar. I believe our dollar will fall to 70 cents (or much lower) to the US dollar thanks to his incompetence, whereas during his excellent predecessor ( Stephen Harper ) for a brief time the Canadian dollar surpassed the value of the US dollar. I have no doubt if Trump became our Prime Minister he'd rectify that and eclipse the accomplishments that Stephen Harper did and erase our Canadian debt which ( for the moment ) is thankfully a fraction of the nearly $20 trillion US debt.

The first $10 trillion of our national debt can be attributed Ronald Reagan, the Republican party and their fallacy of "Trickle Down" economics, which our President Trump & Republican controlled congress desire to DO AGAIN ... so if you would vote Republican, you'd be contributing to the rising Nat'l Debt. Even George H Bush (Reagan's Republican GOP opponent) called it "voodoo economics".
Supply Side Economics (the way Republicans do it) is nothing more than a limitless credit card that no one intends to pay the balance off.
