Top Democrats on four House committees today asked the FBI to investigate connections between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the alleged Russian hacks of Democratic organizations and figures, citing new comments from a Trump confidant.

"Troubling new evidence appears to show that the Trump campaign not only was aware of cyber attacks against Secretary [Hillary] Clinton’s campaign chairman, but was openly bragging about it as far back as August," said Reps. Elijah Cummings from Government Affairs, John Conyers from Judiciary, Eliot Engel from Foreign Affairs and Bennie Thompson from Homeland Security.

Hmmmmm...!!! Verrrry compelling accusations..!!! I'll get right on it..!!!

[daler]

Ha! I was thinking Tuesday.

[gr8eman]

Trump can make some serious hay with this. If he goes after these critters the press will have to report on the substance of the wikileaks emails.

[JBW1949]

Will Comey find no “intent” here??? LOL

[Mark17]

Did the gutless old party tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine?

[Arm_Bears]

I was thinking of keelhauling the little shit.

[TalBlack]

Bozo is just dying to find out how much of his banana Republic crap we’ll take.

[A CA Guy]

Podesta had 75000 shares of Russian company stock.

[unixfox]

How rich of them.

Fckn traitors. The whole lot.

[TalBlack]

Hey maybe FBI agents will be outraged at this naked political use of the agency and revolt...oh, wait...

[Jaded]

Assange needs to drop what Seth Rich sent.....

This. is. RIDICULOUS.

[pissant]

The “Russian” hacks are likely to be as mythical as Hillary’s Bosnian Sniper Fire

[StormEye]

"FBI, is that an arm of the DNC?"

Yep. Apparently it is. James Comey is the DNC agent in charge of the FBI.

[phoneman08]

Agreed. This is a gift that Trump should exploit.

What he should also bring up in the debate, and hammer home for the rest of the campaign is that Hillary and Obama through their incompetence regarding cyber security, not to mention the debacle in Syria, has the country at risk of war with Russia. Is anyone surprised the Russians along with other countries spy on us? Of course not. But what is astounding is the degree of incompetence of our government.

And now we announce we are going to attack Russian data infrastructure? This is a dangerous game.

[struggle]

Check Seth Rich’s grave.

[fella]

It doesn’t matter if there are no facts backing them up, it’s the seriousness of the charges that count and that’s what will be reported.

[Ticonderoga34]

Desperation tactics.

If Comey ‘discovers’ anything on Trump, he should be drawn and quartered. As of now we can just have a hanging

I was thinking that this sounds desperate.

The Dims just want a talking poinr to the various Hillary e-mail hacks. This is what this what this call for an investigation is about.

You see, the Hillary hacks are Trump's fault........or Putin's fault or somebodys fault. Not the fault of poor old Hillary who left her stuff on a unsecured server. No, no, no. Not Hillary's fault what so ever.

[SirLurkedalot]

I’d bet it’s an insider, sick of what they’ve seen thus far.

[Mjreagan]

And don’t mind what’s actually in the emails

[SirLurkedalot]

LMAO..yeah sure...Comey was compromised long ago, his malfeasance was bought when he was let of off during the HSBC sweetheart deal/”you owe us in the future” hook up...these f***ing people make me wretch.

Damn the all to Hell.
