    "Which" hunt? The one that has all of the evidence connecting the Trump campaign to seeking Russian help in the election that isn't a witch hunt at all.

    Is Trump completely oblivious to how he looks? Have some dignity man, you are 70+ years old.

    I hope everything is worth it for his wife. Yikes

    Hahaha the lefties are still clinging to hope!

    Get out and enjoy life, boys. The media only seeks to rile you up and divide you so you get madder and madder, and continue watching so they get their advertising money. Think, people, think.

    So in what world is it that if you post updates of more reports of evidence of collusion or connections, is that just a Leftist attempt to grasp for straws? If during the Hillary email investigation, they found the 30,000 deleted emails, would that not have been news to you crazies on the Right?

    Maybe you guys on the right just see Russia/Trump and don't bother because you think Russia is on your "Team" so its non-news, but just last week, it broke that Trump actually was in business with Moscow to do a huge Trump Tower in Moscow during the campaign.... you know after a year of Trump saying "I have no deals with Russia"...

    I do think the Money Laundering investigation is kinda meh.... because we have known for over a year now that Trump tower in NYC is a cesspool for Russian Oligarchs to launder their money and it has been for years. That's not really news. What would be news is if Trump was just ignorant and complicit or if he was proven to have been an active participant in the scheme... which is why there is a freaking investigation.

    However if you don't think these reports are significant don't freaking read them, and don't check this thread. Just keep living in your world where you believe Russia is TeamTexx or TeamBobby, or whoever. But don't expect to mock and bully people into not paying attention to real news that is evidence that our newly elected President has conflicts that make him compromised, and that he used the help of a hostile foreign power to get elected. If Obama had colluded with Iran or even ignorantly turned a blind eye to allow them to help Obama get elected through cyber warfare, I'm sure you idiots would be losing your Gdamn minds. Comparatively the responses on here are actually pretty damn calm.

    But that's not the point... the point is trolls like Texx are simply coming here to bully people into thinking "Maybe I am taking this Trump/Russia thing too seriously, and check these updates too much"..... Don't listen to these trolls. If your instincts tell you... "Yeah this is bad for a future President to have done".... you don't need some sort of standard to live up to in agreement with the right wing nutcases to know what you are seeing is how you should feel about the subject. They will never agree with you, and just trolling you.

    Bot or not. His goal here is simple and could be effective. Its important to understand the methods because it is easy for bots or simply right trolls who have too much time on their hands, to be effective. Make people think that they are taking Trump/Russia too seriously, and bully them into thinking they are hyperventilating lefties. When really this is real news, and has always been.

    If high crimes are committed and Mueller hands over the drafted articles of impeachment, its still up to a GOP led Congress to move forward with the impeachment which makes it 100% political. Simply stated - If this story isn't important politically to folks in places like Texas which are Red States for the most part, and Trump is still poling where he is, Paul Ryan won't do crap. That's why the goals of guys like Texx or bots like Texx will be to serve Trump by bullying people on internet forums to get them to stop paying attention or caring.

    Well, if there is nothing there, then let the investigation run it's course, why all this trying to block it? And firing people over it?

    Yeah, sure there is nothing there - bunch of Ostriches.

    So now I'm a Russian bully-bot. Yeah, that's it! The liberals have lost their minds in their desperate hysteria. Meanwhile the stock market is hitting record highs...

    Mueller Rents Giant Warehouse to Store Evidence Against Trump
    By Andy Borowitz

    WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Robert Mueller is renting a massive warehouse facility in suburban Virginia to accommodate the approximately forty cubic tons of evidence against Donald Trump that the independent counsel’s investigation is generating on a daily basis.

    Employing over two thousand workers in a warehouse the size of seven football fields, the Mueller investigation has become the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. economy, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    Working twelve-hour shifts, the members of Mueller’s evidence-storage team rarely leave the warehouse, where the punishing task of filing mountains of evidence against Trump proceeds around the clock.

    “It’s like a city all its own,” one warehouse worker said. “There are people working in the Michael Flynn section who’ve never met the people working in the Paul Manafort section.”

    While the warehouse workers are well paid, there have been issues with burnout. “The team in charge of filing all of Donald Trump, Jr.,’s different explanations of his meeting with the Russians had to take time off,” one worker said.

    As gargantuan as the storage space appears to be, an aide to Mueller said that the investigation would soon be seeking a second, even larger warehouse. “We need a place to put all the Jared stuff,” the aide said.
