Top Democrats want FBI to investigate Trump advisers' Russian ties

Several top Democrats want the FBI to investigate whether the campaign for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was involved in the recent hack of Democratic Party computers.

In a letter to FBI Director James Comey Tuesday, the lawmakers wrote that federal authorities should examine whether Trump advisers and Russia conducted cyberattacks “to interfere with the U.S. presidential election.”

The letter notes connections between Russia and Trump aides including former campaign manager Paul Manafort. He resigned following revelations of past work for a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine. Some experts believe Russia was behind the hack of the Democratic National Committee that led tothe release of thousands of Democratic documents.

Investigate Clinton & Abedin.

Abedin has a personal relationship with the financiers of the 9/11 attacks.

Friends of the people who paid for 9/11 can not be in the White House.

By maintaining her relationship with Abedin, Clinton has demonstrated long term lack of judgement.

Are the going to investigate how the Russians paid him so that they could mine uranium in the US? Are they going to investigate all the foreign companies and governments who paid his foundation and paid his husband $700k speaking fees? No wait, I guess that wasn’t Trump!

If Trump wins - - " results invalid - Russian hacking!"

This is the beginning of the big set up. Obama may have to stay on until somebody blinks

Harry “the liar” Reed and Elijah “dumber than a stump” Cummings want an investigation of Trump and Russians. The FBI working with Reid and Cummings. That's something to be very afraid of.

If I were Trump I would tell them to have at it. There is nothing to investigate.

Strongly reminds me of the “October Surprise Task Force / Task Force of the Committee on Foreign Affairs to Investigate Certain Allegations Concerning the Holding of Americans as Hostages by Iran in 1980” held by the Democrat-controlled Congress in 1991-93. This was the legendary, “Too important not to be investigated”, look into the Gary Sick accusation that Bush’41 went to Paris to meet with Iranian Reps. in order to delay release of the American Hostages for political gain.

Clinton emailed classified information after leaving State Dept.

Hillary Clinton continued sending classified information even after leaving the State Department, The Post has exclusively learned.

On May 28, 2013, months after stepping down as secretary of state, Clinton sent an email to a group of diplomats and top aides about the “123 Deal” with the United Arab Emirates.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/293914-clinton-emailed-classified-information-after-leaving

The email, which was sent months after she left the State Department, was sent to people including Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, diplomat Jeffrey Feltman, policy aide Jake Sullivan, diplomat Kurt Campbell, State Department chief of staff Cheryl Mills and top aide Huma Abedin.

It was sent from the address hrod17@clintonemail .com

The infrastructure of elections is critical to Homoland Security, so I'll be counting the non Russian votes.

Several times...

These people are fools. The are provoking a stronger spotlight on the Clinton Foundation : Russian uranium deal.

Trump should take that piece from the Clinton Cash movie and turn it into an ad. Maybe the aithor, Peter Schweitzer will do it for him.

Trump's favorite cocktail used to be White Russians.

He's obviously complicit in hacking the DNC, following natural logic of progression and critical thinking with his past history favoring Russians.

Yes, this is the beginning of delegitimizing a Trump victory.

It's classic "accuse the opponent of what you are guilty of" Clintonesque tactics. It immunizes Clinton from any additional scrutiny.

At least it used to. The trick got old.

The next 10 weeks will be one media-generated Trump "scandal" after another to divert attention from Hillary's real scandals and unfitness for office.

The question is whether Comey will do as directed.
