Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIn interview with Rachel Maddow the other night, Peter Strzok said the Gang of Eight was advised...
..of the counter-intelligence investigation of Donald Trump and no one objected.
They all knew then what was going on.
But, since then, they seem to have forgotten why General Flynn pleaded guilty?
There was sufficient reason to investigate the Russian influence in our election and whether or not Donald Trump had been compromised.
It was a great failure of politics and the Republican Party that it did not happen.
Donald Trump has been compromised from Day 1.

(111,078 posts)It was the Republicans that appointed Robert Mueller to investigate.
Unfortunately, he never got around to investigating any counter-intelligence matters, only those that might be considered "criminal".
The FBI was in such chaos at that time, with the firings of Comey and McCabe, that they did not realize that Rosenstein had called off the counter-intelligence investigation.
So, up to this minute, Trump and his Russian connections have never been investigated.
