Feinstein, who sits on the intelligence panel and is the Senate Judiciary Committee's top Democrat, confirmed further on Sunday that the Judiciary Committee is building an obstruction of justice case.

"I think what we're beginning to see is the putting together of a case of obstruction of justice," Feinstein said. "I think we see this in the indictments, the four indictments and pleas that have just taken place, and some of the comments that are being made. I see it in the hyper-frenetic attitude of the White House: the comments every day, the continual tweets. And I see it, most importantly, in what happened with the firing of (FBI) Director (James) Comey, and it is my belief that that is directly because he did not agree to lift the cloud of the Russia investigation.

K.T. McFarland told transition team colleague that Russia 'has just thrown the U.S.A. election' to Trump:

A member of Trump's transition team mentioned to a colleague in an email exchange that Russia "has just thrown the U.S.A. election to him," according to a report Saturday.

The email, from K.T. McFarland, was described by the New York Times in a report that cast doubt on public claims the White House has made distancing Trump officials from former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who on Friday pleaded guilty in federal court to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador.

means nothing to a Republican. They lie like normal people breathe, and think nothing of it. There's not a doubt in my mind that every member of the Trump family would perjure themselves without batting an eyelash.

The GOP will not care what is found out. The only change will have to come from voters.

I'm just tired of democrats trying to do it the good old decent and right way and getting burned by the GOPs willingness to break rules.
