Marches are planned in Washington, D.C., and a 135 other cities Saturday, according to organizers, which include many of same groups that organized the previous anti-Trump rallies.

Saturday's "March for Truth" will include speeches from Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks and Javier Muñoz, the star of Hamilton, among other actors and musicians. Members of Congress will address several rallies, including Texas Rep. Al Green, who has been one of the most outspoken voices calling to impeach Trump.

Even though former FBI Director Robert Mueller has been installed as special counsel, activists are hoping to pressure Congress to create an independent commission like the one that investigated the 9/11 attacks to conduct a public probe of Russian meddling in last year's election and the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Moscow.

"Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress need to know that we won't let this issue get swept under the rug, and that's why thousands of Americans across the country will be marching to demand the truth," said Sean Eldridge, the former New York congressional candidate who founded Stand Up America, one of the groups sponsoring the march.

"The special counsel is an important step, but we still need an independent commission to expose the full truth of Russia's attack on our democracy to make sure it never happens again," Eldridge added....

True enough.

But what will be the response from the Americans?

Silence?

Indifference?

Please don’t say mean things about us?

I’m not sure I understand how this works.

So, progressives will march and protest, in order to try to get the “truth” about a phony story. Perhaps they can have more luck in marching in order to get to the truth about the story of Pinocchio, who should be a hero of the liberals, since he is as phony as they are.

Sean Eldridge’s group “Stand Up America” apparently copied its name from the group founded by Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely.

Most people are fed up with this endless leftist whining and see these protesters for what they are (i.e., paid professional agitators). Its really repetitious and tiresome.

It appears the loser “media” has moved beyond that fake news and now are looking at the Trump transition team. What a bunch of seditious-loser liars and pinheads.

according to organizers,
******************************************************

Who are the organizers, who pay them, where are they bussed in from, where are the signs made, who are their sponsors that are backing them, they need people like ‘MediaMatter’ the David Brock pac or maybe from John Podesta and certainly Soros...

These people get paid like $15.00 an hour and go from one place to the next...

Time to start putting all this out in the social media and shaming them...

I don’t have face book, I wiped it off my computer the other day when I cleaned it...

So if FR goes down again, I’ll have to wait until it comes back up because I am NOT going to face book again...
