Little Elm, TX residents give Congressman hell re: Russia

I just moved to Little Elm a month ago. I travel for work so I'm not there a lot. Had I been home I would have gone to this.
Little Elm is in a red district/county, north of Dallas.

Remember when Cruz said NO ONE in TX was talking re: Russia? Fuck you, Ted.

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2017/08/03/us-rep-questions-russia-town-hall/

It was a frequently brought up development during a town hall for Republican Congressman Michael Burgess in Little Elm.

Burgess would not answer most questions regarding the Russia probe, saying the questions were too hypothetical.

“So you’re okay with collusion and Russia interfering with our election?” questioned one citizen speaker.

“So you’re okay with collusion and Russia interfering with our election?” questioned one citizen speaker.

Burgess hesitated at first when asked about meeting with any foreign adversary, but eventually answered, “no.”

“I will say this, you have had a full year to produce something and it hasn’t happened,” said Rep. Burgess.


We have NOT had a "full year" to produce something. Although, the FBI did, starting in July 2016. And they DO have something to produce. Hence the Grand Jury!!!


Welcome to Texas, I live in Tarrant County

until they found the world's most famous BJ? I think that was about it as well.

Benghazi investigations lasted for about 4 years and amounted to a big fat nothing burger.
