Foxnews ^ | Match 16, 2017 | Dana Blanton

Posted on 03/17/2017 6:52:45 AM PDT by granada

Majorities of voters think Congress should investigate if Russia interfered with the election and allegations of coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

That’s according to the latest Fox News Poll, taken amidst a new volley of allegations of ties between Trump and Russia, and wiretapping of Trump Tower.

Sixty-six percent want a Congressional investigation into Russia’s attempts to influence the election, and 63 percent want lawmakers to look into possible connections between the Trump campaign and Russia.

I just don’t listen to polls any more. Even if they happen to be from Fox. Not a one of them got it right about November 8. They aren’t getting it right now.

Who cares what they want? They either voted or didn’t. Now the administration needs to go forward, not back.

The media is getting really boring with this. They’ve been relentlessly harping on this nothing-burger for at least two-thirds of a year now, and I think Americans are more and more just tuning their hysterics out.

Fox News Poll: Voters want congressional investigations into Russia

Fox is moving leftward, but an investigation might be good, as long as it is not a witch hunt of the Trump Administration. Start with the clintons!

Nunes is already investigating.

I’m sure the dumbocrats will love the results just like they loved the Rachel Maddow “bombshell” about the tax returns.

I would like a congressional investigation into how much the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, Saudi Arabia, muzzie donors to the Clinton Foundation, etc., have had on our elections.

I don't know what outfit FOX uses but their polling is among the worst in the industry. They were horrible in the last election and have been horrible for years. They're always wrong. Just sayin'...

Haven’t there been non stop investigations since election day. Hahahah, they’re just mad because they lost. Maybe Trump should give away 20% of the Uranium supply, history I suggest THEN they’d leave him alone

Given the GOP has the congress it should be easy to check this box off

Investigate HOW the Dems computers were hacked, what protections did they not use, what email attachments did they click on?

Also, how did classified reports/discussions/recordings get leaked, How did that NBC audio tape of Trump get to the Wash Post?

The Podesta angle in this must be investigated.

After she lost, the furious Hillary horse-whipped her 2016 campaign chair, John Podesta, into action. Podesta came charging out of the gate like Greased Lightning, galloping at breakneck speed, sweating it out, desperate to make Hillary look like a "victim."

John Podesta Op-Ed: Washington Post post-election op-ed / FR POSTED by by ColdOne

PODESTA: The more we learn about the Russian plot to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign and elect Donald Trump, and the failure of the FBI to adequately respond, the more shocking it gets. The former acting director of the CIA has called the Russian cyberattack “the political equivalent of 9/11.” Just as after the real 9/11, we need a robust, independent investigation into what went wrong inside the government and how to better protect our country in the future.

As the former chair of the Clinton campaign and a direct target of Russian hacking, I understand just how serious this is. So I was surprised to read in the New York Times that when the FBI discovered the Russian attack in September 2015, it failed to (Excerpt) Read more of Podesta at washingtonpost.com ...

EXCLUSIVE: Dem Super-Lobbyist Podesta Got $170K
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | March 6, 2017 | Richard Pollock / FR Posted by kevcol

Democrat super-lobbyist Tony Podesta (brother of John Podesta) was paid $170,000 over a six-month period last year to represent Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, seeking to end one of the Obama administration’s economic sanctions against that country, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.

Podesta, founder and chairman of the Podesta Group, is listed as a key lobbyist on behalf of Sberbank, according to Senate lobbying disclosure forms. His firm received more than $24 million in fees in 2016, much of it coming from foreign governments, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

PODESTA/RUSSIA LINKS---A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian-connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC......listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California.

Megan (nee Podesta) Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address. The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia.

=============================================

NOTE: Conspiring w/ a family member to hide income, launder illicit money, and evade taxes is a known scam---uncovered by the IRS in the UBS investigation.
