Pelosi tells Ryan to thwart any GOP move to curtail probe

Republicans and Democrats are scrambling in the final days of 2017 to establish their own narratives on multiple Russia investigations and the integrity of the investigators, a partisan messaging battle that has intensified as special counsel Robert Mueller has appeared to focus more intently on President Donald Trump and his inner circle.

Congressional Republicans who have endured almost a year’s worth of speculation and investigations into Trump’s ties to Russia are hoping to move on from that topic in 2018, renewing focus on Democrat Hillary Clinton and stepping up criticism of Mueller. Democrats remain focused on Trump and are pushing to keep congressional investigations on Russia going for months to come.

Typifying the intense partisan rancor surrounding the investigations, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi pressed Speaker Paul Ryan Friday to keep the House probe intact. “Political haste must not cut short valid investigatory threads,” Pelosi asserted in a letter to the Wisconsin Republican. “Key questions about foreign interference in our elections remain, and must be thoroughly investigated,” she wrote.

Ryan appoints members of the intelligence committee, and could pressure the panel to extend the investigation. But he has largely stayed away from discussing it. …

What happened to the word “alleged”? AP is worse than propaganda. It is disinformation.

Having lost and then lost again and then lost again, the failed woman warns against an action that is not going to happen anyway.

She is thereby taking credit for not firing Mueller.

Meanwhile San francisco is still an open sewer

----investigations into Trump’s ties to Russia----

At this stage in the events, alleged is passe.

The correct statement would be

investigations into Trump’s fictitious ties to Russia

Any casual observer is seeing that the actual collusion in the 2016 election was between Fusion-GPS’ Russian-and-Urine soaked phony dossier, the FBI, the DNC, and the Clinton campaign. There has been no evidence of a Trump-Kremlin connection that would have swung the election. Other than normal Democrat-on-Democrat ballot box corruption, and some routine 1960’s patterns of Russian disinformation, this was a campaign that simply had a loser - Hillary. Pelosi wants a Trump conviction - period - even when there is no evidence and in intentionally blind to the myriad corruption and solid evidence with the DNC and the Obama Deep State operators.

Apparently Pelosi hasn’t heard that Rosenstein and Mueller are secretly working for Trump.

Pelosi wrote Ryan a letter
Reprimted word for word by AssPress
Now there’s leadership

How about We the People want to see the costs of the democrat McCarthyism inquisition deducted from Congressional paychecks starting January 1?

Does Ryan have a dead letter file in his office?

I love the media’s claim that this is all about searching for the truth, because Trump certainly knows the truth of the matter. It’s not like he wouldn’t know if he actually colluded with the Russians or not, right? In other words, the media is flat out implying that Trump is a liar whenever they claim they only want to know the truth. They—and we—already know the truth in fact.

Ryan is such a jerk, he’ll probably obey.

Or is it on orders from his multimillionaire Democrat donor wife?

Let’s not besmirch the name of Senator McCarthy. History has proven him to have been right—our government was infested with communists.

Anyone purporting to be a conservative should be familiar with the Venona cables and has read Blacklisted by History.

Liberals still recoil and hiss at the mention of his name
I say use it liberally to remind them of who they are emulating and the same hysteria they are trying ( and failing) to create

Pelosi wrote the headline-readers a letter via the fake news

It states, as many have tried to state all week, hoping to send people home to their Christmas dinner visits talking about corrupt Trump, that the Republicans and Trump (as if they’re together on anything) are trying to shut down the legitimate mueller investigation because it is close to implicating Trump, and Nancy Pelosi is going to stop all of them from doing this treasonous act

Anyone who grew up in a household with pre moral or, worse, amoral siblings knows this tactic cold

Easy to spot

Pelosi is a child

Watch any Margaret OBrien movie this Christmas ‘Meet Me In St Louis’ ‘The Angel of Tenth Avenue’ O’Brien was a cherub and Pelosi is the opposite, a demon. But she is a daddy’s girl who move down. Into politics on family political capital and is an overgrown child with the mind of a child and the speaking voic eof a child and in this instance the tactics of an amoral child

From the letter.... the material is set-off in quotes.

“Political haste must not cut short valid investigatory threads,” Pelosi asserted in a letter to the Wisconsin Republican. “Key questions about foreign interference in our elections remain, and must be thoroughly investigated,” she wrote.

The citation is correct and properly marked with quotes.

Wait, Paul Ryan’s wife is a Democrat? This is news to me and explains a lot if true.

Deep State Coup Trap chart now updated with Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson, whose wife Nellie bragged on Facebook last year that he invented Russiagate. She was a WSJ reporter who had written in the past about Paul Manafort, giving her insight into a Trump weakness to be exploited as part of the fake F-GPS "Steele" dossier.
