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. …

It looks like the move is afoot that declares that unless Trump admits collusion, he is curtailing the investigation and obstructing justice.

I would argue that the Pelosi and other warnings are mere pretense.

They are just pretending to do something, to be relevant.

I actually sort-of agree with pe-louse-i. However, it is the DIMs/nobama/clintoon who need investigated...and imprisoned. Merry Christmas!

Have they found any evidence of collusion yet? If they want to run a non stop conspiracy theory against Trump, then let them do it on their own time and money. Not taxpayer money and resources. Democrats are the biggest hypocrites with regard to foreign interests, from illegal immigration to uranium for Russians. They’re in it up to their eyeballs. They should all be kicked out of congress.

Key questions about foreign interference in our elections remain, and must be thoroughly investigated.

If true why isn’t Hillary being investigated first with proof that she led interference in our elections.
