Former President George W. Bush said Monday “we all need answers” on the extent of contact between President Donald Trump’s team and the Russian government, and didn’t rule out the idea that a special prosecutor could be necessary to lead an investigation.
The Republican also defended the media’s role in keeping world leaders in check, noting that “power can be addictive,” and warned against immigration policies that could alienate Muslims.
“I am for an immigration policy that’s welcoming and upholds the law,” Bush told NBC’s “Today” show.
Bush’s comments came after a prominent Republican in Congress, Rep. Darrell Issa of California, called for a special prosecutor to investigate whether Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election and was in touch with Trump’s top advisers during the campaign. …

What does it say about him if he wouldn’t criticize Obama for 8 years, but he’s criticizing a pro-American president like Trump in less than 2 months of his Admin?
I just wish Obama, Dubya and Bill Clinton would buy adjoining digs in Dubai and play endless rounds of golf. That seems to be the ultimate goal of everyone in DC anyway, and I’d prefer to see it happen as soon as possible.
“Never criticized Obama or Hillary NOW he opens his mouth. Used to love the guy...now I cannot stand the sight of him.”
Agree 100%!!!!!
Issa just needs something new to grandstand. Have you not noticed his “investigations” lead nowhere?
Seems like Bush is content with Obama’s illegal muslim terrorism importation. Will the alt left ask again 911 what did Bush know?
And the madness continues.
Bush is a class A coward, an Obama cck sucker, afraid of the “racist” label for his kushy retirement years
The bushes p[rove what worthless globalist goofs they are. What an embarrassment.
I’m all for questioning who is in the pockets of the Russians, as long as we look at who is in the pockets of the Chinese, the Saudis, and the Iranians... and we look at both parties. And presidents current and former.
Well guess what? So is Trump. Almost any Conservative wants this.
I, too, am welcoming of immigrants. Just be sure to also follow existing law!
This A-hole sat mysteriously quiet through 8 years of Obama’s tyranny without one damn peep. Yet, now he feels he has to put voice into the cacophony of bleats against Trump.
He’s shown what the hell he is and he’s somebody that makes me positively ashamed I ever voted for him.
Get over it, George. Your little brother lost because he was an even worse candidate than Clinton.
Never criticized Obama or Hillary NOW he opens his mouth. Used to love the guy...now I cannot stand the sight of him.
George W. Bush still being fooled and controlled by the MSM
We all need answers about Iraq, Stupid. Like how did you decide on an invasion that killed 5000 of our best brave young men and women, maimed countless others, killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, chased the Christians out who had been tolerated for two millennia, led to the rise of ISIS< left the Middle East in a far bigger mess than it was, and was based on a lie? What a dolt this guy was and is.
Is W auditioning for a job as contributor to the “Today Show?” He was totally silent during Obama’s trashing of the country, citing respect for his successor, but suddenly he’s a Karl Rove clone, bashing President Trump. The whole Bush crowd is unworthy of our trust.
It seems obvious that the whole Bush clam are one world government fans. I respected George W. for his actions as a war time President but not for much else.
Absolutely insane, and over a ridiculous non issue. This man remained civil to those calling him a racist murderer and now shows himself to be a petty fool.
Jeb Bush's disastrous performance in the 2016 Republican primaries will go down as the sum total of GWB's legacy.
It’s more than Bush, obviously the Republicans have decided they’d rather destroy Trump than do simple things like Protect American sovereignty and balance our budget.
I’d like an investigation into how his grandpa helped finance Nazi Germany.
Go ride a bike, George.
