    Now we see trump acting as a Russian agent more and more.

    fake news the accused has denied the accusation says he wasn't working on behalf of the administration but lets just assume for a minute if it is true
    this happened after Trump won
    so were is the crime and it isn't even unusual to set up back channels to be able to talk to leaders of foreign countries even ones that are our adversaries
    Obama did so with Iran during his transition
    once again you are trying to pass off a nothing burger as prime rib and making a fool of your self in the process

    Trump was the president elect and just trying to do his job

    I thought liberals were looking for collusion DURING the election?

    I'd expect all "president-elects" and their transition teams to begin building bridges of communication. As we are starting to see, the hand-off from the past admin to the current one was insincere at best, and much effort was done to undermine a democratically elected president.

    It's high time that elected officials start doing what is right for the country and not focus on their own political party. That is why Trump is disliked by many. He comes right out and says hey, doing x y or z hasn't worked for 30 years, let's try something different.

    The country needed a businessman as POTUS

    I wonder if this Trump Russia nonsense is just fantasy or wishful thinking.

    Much of the speculation concerning the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel's progress is merely partisan wishful thinking and embraces whatever "fake news" serves a particular ideological agenda.

    Beyond the incontrovertible indictments and confessions thus far achieved, there are only the self-serving, uncorroborated accounts of individuals who have testified, virtually guaranteeing spins favourable to themselves and, secondarily, their political preferences.

    The truth - to which each only has a snippet that he is inevitably disposed to distort - is not to be found under such circumstances, but it is the professional discretion of the Special Counsel that makes such a situation inevitable. Mueller does not comment on the public statements of those who have appeared before his team, so those folks, if they deem it in their interests to spread a story through the press, are free to fabricate whatever they wish, knowing that Mueller will not publicly contradict them.

    Special Counsel Mueller is tight-lipped because loose lips sing ships.

    Whether someone hysterically raving "Hoax!", "Witch hunt!", "Fake news!" or "Nothingburger!" or, like insider Bam Bam Bannon, characterizes the clandestine meetings (about which they lied) - of Junior Trump, Plenipotentiary Kushner, and Trump Campaign Chairman Manafort with Russian agents as "treasonous" and "unpatriotic" is presently unknown.

    Bannon's observation, “You realize where this is going - This is all about money laundering!" remains to be seen.

    Nothing,
    beyond the actual indictments and confessions, is known until the eminently professional Mueller makes it known.

    Ths was reported on months ago. Russia wanted to be able to discuss senstive issues with the incoming administration and suggested a secure channel be set up but was turned down.

    Totally agree... .so lets try that in 2020!! Do you have any possible candidates?

    Preferably not one under control of a foreign power would be a nice start...

    Trump is no saint; most likely has at least as many skeletons in his closed as the next guy, probably more. So, the democrats dig... dig... dig and will almost certainly find something less then kosher in Trump's past.

    If Democrats win the house, whatever "eminently professional Mueller finds, will be enough to impeach Trump. If Republicans hold the house, the russkie investigation will wind down.

    Is my prediction.

    Let's start by getting his sister Betsy Devoss off of the taxpayer's payroll who had no business getting the gift of the job that this historically corrupt administration handed her.

    Really, you do not see him acting as a Russian agent even if you believed this happened? Would it actually bother you to find out that trump is working for Putin?

    So you are good with trump getting communications from Russia that even our military and cia are not involved with? What if Putin was telling trump to try to drop all sanctions on Russia and he would give him millions of dollars?

    So you think that trump having an method of communication with Russia that is not monitored by anyone in our government is ok?

    Trump does nothing that does not benefit him and his grifter family personally. Trump does not give a **** about anyone but himself. He would bury this entire nation to enrich himself and the cronies that he is indebted to and oh boy, is he ever indebted to a foreign adversary of the USA. Trump is the same POS that he was when he ripped off fellow Americans at his bogus university. Trump is the same ****wad that he was when he stiffed contractors for their services rendered. Trump is the same swindler that left others holding the bag when he bankrupted his businesses.

    So you would believe that people deeply associated with trump and people deeply associated with Putin just happened to be vacationing on a very private island off the coast of Africa at the same time and place and bumped into each other and talked about the weather? You are going to say that might have happened. Ok, I have a question for you. Are you waiting for money from that Nigerian Prince to come through, and have you won a European lottery you never knew you entered? I have a car and a bridge you might like to buy. Let me know.

    I am forming no conclusions, and can only trust in the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel to conduct a thorough investigation and expose the truth to the extent that is possible.

    If you are asking whether I recognize that there are quite a number of very suspicious aspects to trumpery that deserve such exposure, certainly.

    Mueller's background clearly defines his expertise at closing in on crime families.

    Was Obama working as an agent for Iran when he set up a back channel with its leaders during his transition
    Obama did send Iran pallets with 100 billion dollars in cash to them

    Mueller's resumé is very impressive. He is, arguably, by far the best appointment of the Trump Administration. When Newtie Gingrich called him a "superb choice" upon his appointment, he reflected the overwhelming, non-partisan sentiment.

    There is no similarity to anything Obama has ever done WHATSOEVER. In fact, Trump will go down in history as the first ever so called POTUS to be actively working against the USA at the behest of a foreign adversary. He is in indeed in a league of his own.

    And btw...your assertion is totally
