Hey, Congress, Get Off Trump-Russia Probe, Do Something Else, Majority of Americans Say in Poll
Newsweek ^ | June 23, 2017 | Greg Price

For months, Americans have been engrossed by the numerous twists and turns surrounding President Donald Trump and his former campaign’s ties to Russia during last year’s election. But now it turns out many have tired of this drama.

A Harvard-Harris poll released Friday found that 64 percent of voters believe the investigations are “hurting the country” and 56 percent want Congress to instead work on issues like national security, the economy and health care, The Hill reported. The online survey was conducted from June 19 to June 21 and gathered responses from 2,237 registered voters.

To be sure, a good number of voters (44 percent) do want Congress to keep up its work on Russia, which according to the Department of Homeland Security directed hacks toward 21 states during the 2016 presidential race. The Hill also pointed out that a Harvard-Harris poll released earlier this month found that 75 percent of voters were in favor of having the special counsel, former FBI Director Robert Mueller, lead the inquiry....

I agree! You’ve got your “special” counsel, multiple committees, the media, and congress is sitting on their thumbs waiting on just one to nail Trump with something.

You were right put into office to go on witch hunts.

A bunch of Marys, that’s all they are...totally worthless. And they’re so tired of doing absolutely nothing, they’re contemplating taking the entire month of August, OFF.

We may was well not even have a congress.

It’s obvious the interest is starting to wane. The latest WaPo & NYT “bombshells” don’t explode on Twitter like they used to. My hope is that people are starting to see it for the farce that it is.

My hope is that the Trump Administration has the balls to decimate the communists in Congress, the “press”, the Federal “judiciary”, Academia, and the Federal bureaucracy.

All of these degenerate corrupt institutions are heavily invested in importing MILLIONS of ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINAL MEXICANS AND MOZLUMS in an attempt to DESTROY the USA and steal everything not nailed down.

WASHINGTONIANS RAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The media think we are stupid.

The media want Mueller because the media know Mueller is out to get Trump removed from office

Most Americans have had enough time to figure out that the whole Russki myth is only a distraction by the ‘RATS to keep the public’s eyes away from the Obama/Clintoon crimes and scandals. This whole Russki fiasco is a disgrace and a big waste of taxpayer dollars. Especially now that Mueller is hiring unemployed Clintoonistas.

It is a lie that Americans were ever for this probe, any with any intelligence immediately it was a fraud. After all, the lies come from the Washington Post and New York Times only idiots believe their tripe.

Don’t stop though Democratmedia, everyday you are looking more and more the fool and it is strengthening Trump.

“Americans have been engrossed by the numerous twists and turns surrounding President Donald Trump and his former campaign’s ties to Russia...”

BS, the ONLY people I know who are the least bit interested are the NEVER TRUMPERS, and die hard Clinton supporters.

For months, Americans have been engrossed by the numerous twists and turns surrounding President Donald Trump and his former campaign’s ties to Russia during last year’s election.

Thereby proving once again that for the mainstream media, "America" consists of a few people they know in the Beltway, Manhattan and out in SF or LA.

Reality is that the overwhelming majority of Americans couldn't care less about this phony story. Liberal politicians care, and the Republican "moderate" tools who dance to their whims care. That's it.

Notice the smear re Trump and campaign/friends with the line about their “ties to Russia”.

Hell, Obama had ties to the Communist Party USA going way back, possibly even to a Soviet asset or operative. The meeting in Bill Ayers’ house was full of all kinds of reds, mainly CPUSA types.

Some of his aides and advisors/czars had ties to the Red Chinese, Iranians, Syria and possibly the Palestinians.

Hillary sold out a lot of our uranium ore to the Russians.

And where was Newsweek on all of this?

That is why Newsweak is such a stupid leftist rag.
