Actor Rob Reiner Launches Committee to Investigate Russia
Breitbart ^ | September 19, 2017 | Jerome Hudson

Posted on 09/19/2017 11:24:09 AM PDT by lowbridge

Hollywood actor-director Rob Reiner teamed with Atlantic senior editor David Frum, Obama-era government officials, and vocal Donald Trump critics to launch an initiative Tuesday intended to help uncover the extent of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“To understand the gravity of Russia’s invasion of our democracy, today we launch Committee to Investigate Russia,” Reiner wrote on Twitter Tuesday morning, linking to the organization’s website: InvestigateRussia.org.

The Committee claims to be a “nonprofit, non-partisan resource provided to help Americans recognize and understand the gravity of Russia’s continuing attacks on our democracy,” according to its website. It will be a place where “all relevant information is aggregated in one place to provide context and allow users to see the full picture of what Russia has done and will continue to do unless we start paying closer attention.”

The committee’s advisory board members include James Clapper, the former director of National Intelligence, Max Boot, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and political commentator Charlie Sykes.

Rob you’re late to the game. The air is going out of this “Russian Monster Spy” balloon. Less people are believing it.
Hilary’s ‘overblamming’ everything under the sun for her loss is not helping the Russian Monster Spy case either.

Sorry to see Max Boot throwing in with this motley crew of misfits, miscreants, scallywags, and goons.

I have yet to see any concrete evidence of how and what Russia did to interfere with the election. The only thing I have seen is Obama’s declaration about the 7 agencies confirming Russian interference. What was the interference, what did they do? Crickets. Maybe I missed it? If there was concrete evidence wouldn’t it have come out during the election. With all the wiretaps on Trumps campaign any Russian interference would have been leaked to Clinton’s campaign and to the Washington Post and NYT.

Maybe they should ask Obama to head the committee since he has a lot more flexibility now.

Oh, I think he was in the movie. He’s just too narrow minded to see his just as ludicrous behavior.

Do you think they will “investigate” the US’ (read: Obama’s) much more egregious and overt interference in the Israeli elections involving PM Netanyahu? Obama’s interference in Israel’s election is well documented and clearly violated the laws of both sovereign countries.

So, for the Left, it’s really not of importance that Russia interfered in our elections as a sovereign nation as much as it’s an issue that their candidate lost and they lost political power. That is what really chaffs them, not some “good for democracy” political fig leaf. That’s the political ghost their chasing here.

If they really cared about the electoral integrity of the democratic process of a sovereign nation then they would practice their Dick Tracey routine with Obama’s involvement in Israel’s election. But alas, it’s more Leftist hokum once again deceptively packaged to try and fool and manipulate the low-information types.

Moreover, this is not about the 2016 election, this little grandstanding exercise is really about setting up 2018 and 2020.

Is this cross-linked to comedy or to tragedy?

If the Russians were still Soviets the left would have no problem with anything they do. Much like they don’t care about ChiCom influence.

They should call it the Hollywood Un-American Activities Committee. Call it it HUAC for short.

Wait... wasn’t there something called HUAC before...
