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 is really worried that the Voter is finally casting off the Professional Politician

There is one thing I admire the Democratic party for. They don’t engage in crap like this.

[Olog-hai]

That’s all the Dems do when they’re the “opposition”.

[Nifster]

Issa has always lived his position in DC. He cares not at all for the US. He has connections with mussies

[Nifster]

Issa won’t look into anything

The three IT guys were fired. They ought to be under investigation by DOJ

Robby Mook, Hillary's campaign manager, created the entire "Russians hacked into the DNC computers and helped Trump with the election" bit. He went on CNN on July 24, 2016 and told Jake Tapper that the Russians did it. Instead of "Sources say," he used "experts said" even when pressed (a little) by Tapper. I remember this so clearly. After Mook's appearance on CNN, the rest of the media picked it up citing experts on CNN. Of course there never were any names associated with this accusation.

It's the same every time. One MSM makes something up then the others say, according to that MSM, as if that gives a statement credence. Soon all the low information voters believe the lies.

The seDitionocrats never needed a "special prosecutor" during the Muslim Seditionist's 8-year treason, so we don't need a "special prosecutor".

As a matter of fact, I would view a special prosecutor as a provocation and act of war by the Uniparty.

[Rebelrage]

I watched the Issa segment because he's my congressman. What a slimy prick. He resists the will of the people, and his suggested appointment of a special prosecutor on the Russians bullshit is insane. If Hillary didn't warrant a SP then no one does.

[Hugin]

OK. Just as soon as the special prosecutors for Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS, Hillary’s emails and the Clinton Foundation finish we’ll get on it.

[thoughtomator]

My understanding is that Issa is particularly vulnerable to blackmail.

[Jim Noble]

“Russia probe”

Probe of what?

[Boomer]

With friends like this; who needs enemies. WTF is wrong with this idiot Issa?

[SaraJohnson]

Issa is an Arab; I think he’s a Muslim.

[Lazamataz]

It’s so confusing that Issa’s other investigations — on Obama — went nowhere.

How could that be?

How could that be?

[Lazamataz]

Never think for one second that Issa is a friend.

[Jane Long]

Remember when Issa called for the Special Prosecutor to look into 0bama’s DOJ and Hillary’s emails???

Yeah, me neither.

[Jane Long]

Maybe we need AG Sessions to open up an investigation into $$$$ that went to Issa/others calling for these Russia/election investigations.

[Jacob Kell]

Actually, he’s suposedly East Orthodox. His dad was a Lebanese Maronite, while his mom was German and Czech. Religion aside, he apparently is a Grade-A jackass.

[KittyKares]

That is disgusting. No one ever investigated Bill Clinton’s connections with China, Hillary’s connections through the Clinton Foundation, Obama’s Muslim connections, Soros, and so on. This Russian connection is pure and simply made up.
