Leading Senate Republicans are preparing to launch a coordinated and wide-ranging probe into Russias alleged meddling in the U.S. elections and its potential cyber threats to the military, digging deep into what they view as corrosive interference in the nations institutions.
Such an aggressive approach puts them on a direct collision course with President-elect Donald Trump, who downplays the possibility Russia had any role in the November elections arguing that a hack of the Democratic National Committee emails may have been perpetrated by some guy in his home in New Jersey. The fracture could become more prominent after Trump is inaugurated and begins setting foreign policy. He has already indicated the country should get along with Russia since the two nations have many common strategic goals.
But some of Trumps would-be Republican allies on Capitol Hill disagree. Senate Armed Services Chair John McCain (Ariz.) is readying a probe of possible Russian cyber incursions into U.S. weapons systems, and said he has been discussing the issue with Select Intelligence Committee Chair Richard Burr (N.C.) with whom he will be working closely to investigate Russias suspected interference in the U.S. elections, ...

What a joke.
All I can say is that it is a good thing, for them, that I am not king.
Someone should perform an audit on Elijah’s Maryland district to identify the vote fraud going on his district so he can shut his pie hole!
No kidding. Investigate Soros for crying out loud
What made it so much easier for the Russians this time is they did not have to make anything up. The truth was sufficient to bring down the Obama/Clinton cabal. All the Russians (sic) needed to do was release the information everyone else had.
Elijah is dangerous because he is ignorant. His ignorance is the platform upon which he has built a monument to abject stupidity. Cummings is easily one of the most profoundly demented elected government officials ever to hold office.
McCain is one of Soros’ pet rinos.
Don’t be stupid. You’ve taken the bait. Get real
You'll have your say when I have my hand up you a$$, McCain.
I don’t know about you, but *I* believe they’re doing this to distract from the wholesale theft of intellectual property and hacking by Red China: which was done with the explicit enthusiastic cooperation of a number of high government officials.
Having read about the petrodollar wars, I now suspect that they are attempting to stop Russia from settling oil contracts in Rubles (or any other currency than the dollar). They do not “want” war. What they want is the fruit of victory in war without having to fight. Perhaps Russia will shudder in fear and give them everything they want.
Her Supreme Clintonian Majesty suggested a “no-fly zone” in Syria, with no plan for what might result from shooting down a Russian MIG!
This nonsense needs to be stopped ...we need to primary any Republican that supports this deflective and divisive warmongering action ...when they start this, the phone calls need to start, urging them to quit these provocative actions .. The Kristol/Romney /Rove/ McCain neo-con faction needs to be roundly and firmly defeated and banished ...
Please, entertain me, what bait have I taken?
