It gets worse: Robert Mueller has learned that when Donald Trump Jr. was in the 5th grade, he sat next to a girl whose father worked with a guy who had a cousin who lived down the street from someone who once met a guy whose grandfather was born in Russia.

I just can’t let your statement go. The article says these recordings were given to the FBI just a few months ago. Let’s say for sake of argument these recordings are the worst collusion EVER in the history of collusion. Trump is offering billions to Putin to take every voting machine and hack it in favor of Trump. It is irrelevant then as justification for the FBI spying on the TRUMP campaign in its early stages.

The spying on Trump’s campaign started well in advance of the FBI obtaining this tape (which I have assumed for argument only is the worst). Before the FBI had probable cause, they decided to infiltrate his campaign in an attempt to create probable cause and justify a FISA warrant.

But I don’t believe for a hot second that these recordings of Trump Jr. are anything. These articles are always the same. They take a fact and present it in the light most harmful to the Trumps. All exculpatory facts are flushed away and it takes two days before the counter position is presented. Contrast that to the Obama administration where every story read like a criminal defense. It was as of Johnnie Cochran suddenly wrote for every paper in America.

If FBI’s neutrality, impartiality and credibility were in question, why Trump government agreed to put sanctions on Russia over the election meddling, based on FBI’s reports?

The FBI may be justified in spying on Toshin but that doesn’t translate into spying on an American citizen whose only contact with said Russian [who was not yet on the list of “sanctioned oligarchs” at the time] was to chat at a perfectly legal convention that was held by a civil rights organization that very openly supports both the US Constitution, law enforcement, and minorities needing an equalizer. The Russian didn’t even get the meeting he sought, which for all we know he was trying to arrange so he could get run of the mill souvenir photo with a celebrity president like hundreds of other people try to get.

Maybe the FBI should focus its efforts on Uranium One where the Russians did get what they sought, or on a Pakistani criminal ring that’s been operating directly out of the US Capitol and drawing suspiciously large amounts of money from its bank, or on money laundering by the previous administration to finance the regime in Iran.

You’re right there is nothing stopping Sessions from cleaning house, yet there he sits doing nothing for either Trump or our country.

There's no doubt Russians were talking to members of the Clinton and Obama team about any number of issues and since everyone was monitoring Russian communications those calls were recorded.

How many have been bleach-bitted by Clinton and Obama loyalists?

This is one time I'd like to believe Q. 'We have everything'.

That’s not at all a straight line leading to collusion.

“That’s not at all a straight line leading to collusion.”

It’s FBI and Mueller..... who decide whether it is or not.

You need to be looked at closely. I suspect you do not belong here.
