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.

Actually the Bush family dealings with Saudi Arabia and how they became wealthy would be a more relevant investigation.

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.

warned against immigration policies that could alienate Muslims.

Yeah, we don't want to do that considering all the cultural enrichment they add to our country.

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.

Bush’s statement is strong, like linguini.
