Something is seriously wrong if all of the intelligence agencies

agree that there was interference in an election and the Attorney General (FBI's boss) casually dismisses questions about whether there was any discussion about Russian involvement in said election.

They stole the election and this is a fugging coup.

Truth will out! Lock them Up America!

I kept wanting a senator to press Sessions on whether he *asked* to be briefed on Russian involvement in our elections. It's possible, I guess, that Sessions is just not curious about it or, more likely, he already knows about it, from the inside.

THey don't even want to hear about Russian involvement. Of course they know - they were part of it.

The Con even publicly asked Russia to hack Hillary's email.

From Twitter posts, Mueller has or will get every piece of evidence he will need

If they fire Mueller, which I believe they will do, that is an indication they will
try to suppress any and all opposition to their power. Obstruction, free speech,
voting suppression would all be part of the agenda. 2018 elections are the biggest
risk to the plan, so all of this will play out before then because they will not run
that risk.

for a long time now.
I blog on a right wing web site in Alabama, really Central Pa., and pre-election I was flooded with a lot of talk from Steve Piezernak who regularly visits Alex Jones about how Trump was doing a counter coup against Clinton's coup. That made no sense to me, but I keep wondering was it really a coup?

Think about this terrible scenario; Russia has to the ability to allow Republicans to win elections by vote flipping. If they are caught Republicans simply blame the Russians and the flipping continues.

The only thing that Republicans have to give in return is loyalty to Russia. There I got that off my chest.

I'm serious about this Steve P. guy. There was all of this propaganda coming from him pre election and now after the election I haven't heard a peep about him.

Think of all the progress Republicans are responsible for making possible. They have gone from virulent anti Russian / International Communist (Red Baiting) to worrying about the feelings of good will of reformed KGB officer Vladimir Putin.

I just posted the same post basically on my local web site and I'm waiting for responses, so far none.

I am horribly outnumbered on my local web site so I try extra hard to over emphasize all of my posts. A hammer doesn't touch their skulls and I'm getting blisters with my sledge hammer.

I am waking up some Independents (few of them that there are)

How weak are these agencies then?

Weak with leaks.
