Jason Chaffetz makes me wonder if most of the Republican Party was in on the Russian collusion

This is growing, BIGLY!

[Greybnk48]

1. I would bet a kidney Walker, Priebus and Ryan are in on it.

And Wisconsin Republicans. We are completely corrupt here.

[CrispyQ]

26. McConnell too. Man oh man, do I want to see that smug fuck go down.

After what he did to Garland...

[Foamfollower]

2. Yhis goes beyond the GOP

You forgot about Jill Stein.

[adigal]

23. Stein?? Come on. You think she knew about Russia. That is reaching.

I don't even think the others were in on it, but may have had an inkling later and did nothing. Just like Idiot Pence. I think Trump, Flynn, Manafort, Carter Page, Kuschner were in on it. I'm missing someone. Oh, I'm not sure about Bannon. I don't think they trusted him with this.

[Foamfollower]

36. I'm 100% positive she was in it up to her ears!

[maxsolomon]

31. Stein was a useful idiot

She has no power to corrupt the Electoral Process.

Chaffetz? His middle name is Bengahzi.

[Foamfollower]

37. Stein was in it up to her ears.

See the pic above.

[maxsolomon]

39. I've seen it.

you think she colluded with trump's campaign? with Russian interference?

again: useful idiot.

[Foamfollower]

40. Yes and Yes. I do believe that.

[maxsolomon]

41. Consciously? or naively?

if the former, can you point to any links that support it?

[Foamfollower]

42. Look at the picture.

She was in the thick of it with Flynn and Putin.

She is every but as evil as either Flynn or Putin.

I sincerely believe that she consciously colluded with the Russians and knew precisely what she was doing. She is a trained physician and is only now putting on a "dumb" act.

[LanternWaste]

43. Is the corollary valid as well:

Is the corollary valid as well: Useful idiot-- objective evidence to support the premise?

[maxsolomon]

44. every word she spoke during the campaign

made me think she was an idiot.

I simply haven't seen anyone detailing active collusion with Trump's minions by Stein/Greens, and if it exists, I'd like to read about it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Didnt Obama go to McConnell with intel asking turtle to expose it to the populace

and that fucking TRAITOR refused?

Something like that.

GOP simply doesnt care about our country or democracy, they care about money.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Believe you are right.

There was a story about this and how McConnell killed the idea of going public. Not sure,did it come from Harry Reid's office. It was killed the next day.

[Eyeball_Kid]

27. McConnell's ultimatum:

If Obama makes a public announcement, McConnell will blame it all on partisan politics and dismiss the allegation.
McConnell wouldn't play ball with an issue of transpolitical importance.

Obama could nonetheless have made the announcement in public, but the GOP would have screamed foul, even though they would have known the issue to be a legal matter that threatened national security, not a political one. So, yes, this one's on McConnell-- and Ryan, for that matter, as Ryan complied with McConnell's threat.

IOW, they all knew what was happening and supported Trump AND Russia.

[hughee99]

22. Why did Obama need turtle boy's approval? Nt

[Eyeball_Kid]

29. A bi-partisan consensus in public would have legitimized the issue.

McConnell was insisting on framing the issue as a partisan political one: The Dems were pushing for HRC's election victory by giving the GOP/Trump movement a bad name-- being complicit in allowing foreign interference in the election.

[hughee99]

38. So if I understand you correctly, rather than doing the right thing, an outgoing two-term president

who will probably never run for any office again, decided to instead play politics with it?

[Raster]

4. You can bet that eveyone in the Rethuglican Congressional High Command...

...either knew about tRump*s collusion with Russia, or strongly suspected as such, AND DID NOTHING. In other words: they were willing to sell out our Country to gain political advantage... that political "perfect storm" of complete control of government.

VOTE. EVERY. REPUBLICAN. OUT. OF. OFFICE!

[Sculpin Beauregard]

8. DAMN STRAIGHT!!!!!

[Johnny2X2X]

5. Leverage

They don't negotiate with anyone without first holding a gun to their head. Guarantee they have compromised several dozen GOP politicians and officials.

[librechik]

6. GOP Leadership at least--Trump Transxn Team in particular

And from a long long way back--That's why McConnell held off on Merrick Garland--he knew there would be reason to wait.

[Sculpin Beauregard]

9. Pootie probably has a dossier on all of them at his disposal. He's a puppet master pulling strings

for his benefit, and for his amusement. He fucking hates Americans with the power of 1000 suns. This is delicious for him.

[L. Coyote]

10. Follow the money: Millions from pro-Putin Ukrainian businessman last election cycle

and similar money from Russians laundered into Republican campaigns.

Link to tweet

[L. Coyote]

11. Mitch McConnell led Super PAC took $2 million

Link to tweet

There are more of these. Where did the money go after Mitch got it?

[Raster]

13. What's happened to Comrade McTurtle????.....

...last we saw, Comrade McTurtle held a town hall where it was quite apparent the bloom may be off the saggy rose... next we saw a poll that named Senator Comrade McTurtle THE MOST DISLIKED AND UNTRUSTED Senator in the Senate. And finally, now we learn that a Comrade McConnell-led Super PAC took millions from a pro-Putin Ukranian businessman...

I haven't seen Comrade McTurtle's smarmy, saggy face in the news lately... perhaps McTurtle is hiding in his shell? And how about those "gifts" from his wife's Chinese gangsta family???

[stuffmatters]

33. Mitch taking 2 million from Russia deserves its own thread.

They are ALL Russian agents..poised to sell off anything Gov(taxpayer) owned to the Russian oligarchs & Govt.

This really is Republican Party categorical and systemic treason. And they control all three branches of government. How are these people to be stopped?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Yeah. McCONnell squelched TrumpRussia news before the election & his wife got cabinet position

Coincidence?

[Initech]

12. It's another piece of the puzzle.

Right now I'm betting all signs point to Mitch McConnell as the real ring leader of the operation.

[CrispyQ]

28. This is what I think, too.

He knew something back when he blocked the Garland nom.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. There was that public charade last year

where Ryan and McConnell wouldn't be seen with Trump, were said to be
not speaking with him. The whole thing, Garland nomination and all, seems
orchestrated to me.

[HootieMcBoob]

30. Exactly

All of the polls had Hillary winning in a landslide. You would think McConnell would prefer the moderate Garland to anyone a President Clinton would likely have nominated unless he knew something.

[Demsrule86]

15. Do we know this is about Russia?

[MedusaX]

16. Some knowingly & some unknowingly....

Those who were not aware of the true source of all campaign contributions benefitted ...,

And those who were aware knew that the paper trail would be useful as leverage if/when any of the "unknowing" party members ever became problematic.....

It is a lovely way to compromise your pals --
for fun & profit!!!

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

17. I'd be surprised if they were not.

I've said for ages that the "party" is itself a criminal entity and should be charged with RICO violations.

[randome]

18. Go to bed with Russian spies, wake up with subpoenas.

The fall of the GOP will be very much like the fall of the Berlin Wall. The speed at which it collapses will soon surprise us all.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Don't underestimate the long-term effects of a good night's sleep.[/center][/font][hr]

[retrowire]

19. I thought the whole GOP was in on it because of

Their deafening silence on the whole thing.

[Achilleaze]

21. the russians stole the senate "majority" for the republicans

the so-called republican-majority is fake: illegitimate.

History will record this as The Bastard Senate (R)

[sharedvalues]

35. We will protest Justice Asterisk as long as he holds his seat

Hopefully, Justice Asterisk will not hold a seat for very long.

[elmac]

24. I would bet big bucks that at least 95% of GOP support Russian Collusion. nt

[randr]

25. The lsos was like the kid who showed up with porn for the first time

One at a time he let his fellow Republicans in on whatever the Russians had to offer and one at a time they became compromised.

[ananda]

32. I've been thinkng that for awhile now.

It just seems so obvious to me.

[sharedvalues]

34. Bigly. Chaffetz is bad for America. Good riddance

If Chaffetz was a tool of Russia the whole GOP needs to be torn down. So much time, money, and effort wasted on Chaffetz hearings. And that fool leaked the Comey letter too. If there is a war, the blood of innocents is on Chaffetz.
