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.

According to Obama, Russia is not the enemy. This is not like the last century when we were in The Cold War. Didn't they get Obama’s memo?

If I were cynical about our political system, I'd think "they" were laying the groundwork to blame the Russians for everything "they" are doing and are going to do in order to "win" the 2016 elections.

For example, Hilly's "missing" emails of damnation are unexpectedly released upon an unsuspecting media.

Instead of American Journalism freaking out about the unbefreakinglievable corruption in our highest places and getting busy with it, "they" blame the Russians for spying on Hillary and the DNC!

Yep, if I were cynical, instead of gullible, I'd believe the game is US and we're being played like a fish on the line.

Mark my words....they are setting the stage to invalidate a Trump win as being the nefarious work of Russian hackers.

CW 2.0 inches closer and closer.

While Hillary has been caught illegally being bribed right out in the open by the Russians selling the nations security , uranium , these bozos want to investigate trump. ? It's obvious, anything that democrats accuse their opponents in doing, it's always they themselves are the ones who really have the problem, from being racist, privilege , misogyny, bullying, tyranny, and now this aiding and abetting hostel foreign powers in return for bribes, it's as if they always seek or accuse others of the their crime

This tells me that they’ve been building the Russian rhetoric against Trump for a while now for a reason.

What is the reason? They are probably losing bigger than anyone imagines.

Yep, that’s the one where Bush was flown to Paris in an SR-71 Blackbird.
