Republican lawmakers are increasingly at odds with Donald Trump across a range of high-profile domestic and national security issues, an early sign that the GOP-led Congress might resist some elements of the president-elect’s unorthodox agenda.
Although Trump maintains enthusiastic backing in many corners of the party, key members of the Senate and House have been outspoken in challenging his views of Russia and its interference in the U.S. election, warning of potential conflicts of interest arising from Trump’s far-flung business interests if he does not fully divest from his company, and criticizing the tough approach that he has taken to some companies, including his threat to impose a stiff tariff on firms that move jobs overseas.

This really has to be embarassing for the ‘intelligence apparatus’ and congress committees.
When the intel chair states no hard or direct links can be found followed by the chairmans spooks releasing their ‘secret report’ blowing the chairmans congressional statement out of the water. If the intels cannot even believe each other how do they expect anyone else to (other than GOP proles that believe anything anti Trump).
I disagree.
On both points.
Thanks! Please share that photo with all. Word needs to get out.
There are more than a few.
McCain, Murkowsky, Heller, Hoeven, Hatch, Corker, Alexander, Flake, Graham and Rubio all voted for Gang of Eight treason.
There were plenty of others who opposed Trump during the election, Sasse, McConnell, Toomey, Collins, Lee and Portman.
Burr has signed onto this ridiculous Russia BS.
They will obstruct Trump more than they ever did Obama.
McCain needs to be arrested for aiding and supplying arms to Muslim terrorists

Graham and Rubio were there with him arming jihadists.
This is the WaPo. They believe it’s their job to take down POETUS Trump any way they can, including employing Useful Idiots within the GOP (of which there are plenty!)
YEAH, growing resistance is NOW 2 McShame and Grahamnesty!!!! The MSM is just getting started WE ARE in for a VERY rough ride!!! McShame and Grahamnesty NEEDS to STFU, our side doesn’t NEED this BS from our own side!!!
Fake news,
Okay. So sticking strictly to the subject of Russia and hacking then, are we discussing voting machines or the uncovering of the dreck on Podestas emails, the collusion for DNC with HRC campaign against Bernie and feeding her questions in advance of debates and interviews.
You mean uncovering actual evidence no one is denying?
And while we are at it, Russia is the lone boogeyman?
What happened to Asange, WikiLeaks, Anonymous, et all?
Is that what you are worried about?
The Washington Compost and New York Slimes are competing for the title of Fake News Central.
growing resistance = growing support
Growing resistance...let me guess - John McShame and his little dog Lindsey too?
