George W. Bush on Trump and Russia: 'We all need answers'
Associated Press ^ | Feb 27, 2017 9:47 AM EST

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. …

I need an answer on why I ever voted for this guy. I honestly think we’d all be better off if John Kerry won in 2004.

Maybe they should investigate the Bush-Russia-Putin soul connection?

Bush seemed to be so open to globalism that he would have put Putin at the head.

Is he a communist?

After Kerry’s track record as Secretary of State? He would have declared the Monroe Doctrine “over” in 2005 if he ever were POTUS.

I keep hearing about how bad off the Democrat Party is, how divided and confused.

IMO the Republicn Party is in worse shape.

So if Hitlery won the election I’m sure GW would be all concerned about the Russians and “need answers”.

I think we’ll see the two-party system go bye bye, there are too many incompatible factions within the two parties.

Get over it, George. Your little brother lost because he was an even worse candidate than Clinton the last FOUR sitting presidents.

Small correction.

Well, if the answer is that Democrats made the whole thing up, well, sure.

The GOP has been on the left since WWII if not before.

Goldwater went after Arthur Larson for proclaiming the “New Republicanism” to be the same as FDR-style statist Democratic policies, in the second chapter of The Conscience Of A Conservative.

Amazing how he had nothing to say for the eight years of Obamagate.

The globalists and Libertarians are too cowardly to actually form their own party, or in the case of the latter support the Libertarian Party proper, so the have demonically possessed the Republican Party instead.

A great many Americans had German holdings in the ‘20s and ‘30s. Bush was just one of very many.

Even Coca-Cola and Random House publishing ‘supported’ German Nazis in addition to the obvious bankers, as well as manufacturers like Ford, Kodak and IBM.

The Bush Family:
Clueless to what is really going on.
Inability to recognize the enemy.
Spend more time attacking the Base than the RATS.

I watched the new PBS show on Ruby Ridge.
Reminded me of how Bush 41 attacked the Base even then by defending ATF.

It's not a coincidence Issa and Bush use the exact same line - "special prosecutor" - days apart. It's completely coordinated by an establishment GOP that's still raging mad that Donald Trump beat them like dogs. The media goes along with it so they can run "special prosecutor" headlines in their ceaselessly efforts to delegitimize Trump.

For George W. Bush, it's probably personal. Notice he had nothing to say about commie Barack for eight long years, but now suddenly he's compelled to leave the Bushbunker and run to the media cameras? Aside from looking extremely choreographed, it makes Bush seem to still be sore by how badly Jeb Bush lost.
