Former President George W. Bush said Monday “we all need answers” on the extent of contact between President Donald Trump’s team and the Russian government, and didn’t rule out the idea that a special prosecutor could be necessary to lead an investigation.
The Republican also defended the media’s role in keeping world leaders in check, noting that “power can be addictive,” and warned against immigration policies that could alienate Muslims.
“I am for an immigration policy that’s welcoming and upholds the law,” Bush told NBC’s “Today” show.
Bush’s comments came after a prominent Republican in Congress, Rep. Darrell Issa of California, called for a special prosecutor to investigate whether Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election and was in touch with Trump’s top advisers during the campaign. …

The Bush family is on the ‘other’ team, not ours.
Never criticized Obama or Hillary NOW he opens his mouth. Used to love the guy...now I cannot stand the sight of him.
He was pretty silent when Obama was POTUS..
Wouldn’t say poop if he had a mouth full of it for 8 years and NOW he wants to speak up?? No thanks.
These SOB’s remained quiet during 8 years of Islamocommie Rule.
Actually the Bush family dealings with Saudi Arabia and how they became wealthy would be a more relevant investigation.
It is becoming more clear every day how screwed we were with the Bush Cartel.
FU Jorge
Interesting how Bush has suddenly become the paragon of wisdom to the Fake News Media after being disparaged and mocked by the very same people for 8 years.
So says W now about his buddy Pooty-Poot, he looked into his eyes and saw his soul, you know.
Yeah, we don't want to do that considering all the cultural enrichment they add to our country.
W: STFU and go back to wherever.
There is no such thing as Voter Fraud but Russia threw the election /DemSpeak
Exactly!
We all wanted answers as to why W Bush allowed himself to be the medias/left’s punching bag, for eight years, and why he stood silent during 0’s destruction of America.
We want THOSE answers. Go back to Crawford and paint.
Being President is hard enough... Remember they? He was quiet for 8 years for that reason. I guess Trump is making it look easy
I’m wondering if Issa is asking for that investigation because he is sure there is nothing to find there and that would finally shut the Demoncrats up about this.
This is the president that HID and was totally silent on eight years of high treason and Constitutional crime from Obama. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Pansy creep.
Then his pampered brother got totally creamed in the primaries and wasted many millions to the point of being laughed at.
Now, GWB wants to crawl out from under his desk and start slamming Trump??? TOTALLY DISGUSTING.
If anyone had any doubt as to which team the Bushes are on, then this removes it.
“I am for an immigration policy that’s welcoming and upholds the law,” Bush told NBC’s “Today” show.
Bush’s statement is strong, like linguini.
