Associated Press ^ | Feb 25, 2017 11:27 AM EST

A Republican congressman has called for a special prosecutor to investigate whether Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election and was in touch with President Donald Trump’s team during the campaign.

Rep. Darrell Issa of California says it would be improper for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to lead the investigation.

Issa made the comments Friday on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” …

Issa proved himself a Uniparty eunuch when his investigations amounted to nothing.

Of course.

But where were all the special prosecutors during the last 8 years of Obama and Clinton malfeasance?

Issa is a waste of oxygen. He accomplished absolutely nothing when confronted with ample evidence of Hillary’s selling favors to foreign governments.

AP was really hard up for this latest junk news source:

“Issa made the comments Friday on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

This isn’t even fake news. It is Junk News posing as fake news.

Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health

Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Posted on 2/23/2017, 9:55:44 AM by Mozilla

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.

Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments.

The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a person’s political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.

A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.

A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.

The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one woman’s comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our country—so the piece was tolerable.

We need to stop telling ourselves that this still remains a Democrat vs Republican struggle in our country. Trump is forcing all the Dem and GOP globalist rats out of hiding.

Of course it all makes sense to us now. Issa and Clinton, and all the rest of DC share the same globalist swamp with each other.

Anybody picked by the Uniparty will only seek to destroy Trump and protect the Uniparty.

The Democrats in R jerseys are even more terrified of Trump than the Democrats in D jerseys.

The GOP gravitates toward defeat like a moth flying toward light. They have a deeply embedded culture of defeat that drives them to look for ways to lose.

Hey Darrell, you didn’t get the memo? The Russki hacking thing was a joke pulled on the American people by Obama’s “intelligence community” moles. It’s over. Nobody hacked any election. Even Obama said that would be impossible. We’ve moved on. We’re back to men using the ladies rooms again.
