    The media wing of the democrat party's method of being caught in a lie: create a new one and opine about it 24/7.

    That's not opinion, it's fact.

    It was 24/7 Russia Russia Russia every day until Mueller appointed.

    You admit it wasn't so until Manafort's house was raided.

    You might come around to the truth, even if dragged kicking and screaming.

    So Denny is complaining that Mueller's team doesn't leak like the Trump administration does?

    My statement was that appointing the counsel stopped the Russia, Russia, Russia thing almost dead in its tracks.

    The media found some other nits to make into constitutional crises.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I agree that it's not always "Russia, Russia, Russia." I never suggested it was. It's just that way a lot. Trump keeps starting new fires to distract from Russia, but we always come back to Russia, don't we, comrade?

    You're coming around to admit the Truth. That's a good first step. You need to acknowledge the problem before you can correct it.

    Except for the bit about Trump starting the fires.

    When Obama said there are 57 states, nobody made much of it.

    When Trump does it, it's a constitutional crisis, on the news for days on end, 24/7.

    By "it," I assume you mean equating neo Nazis with people protesting racism. It didn't create a constitutional crisis, it just made people think he sympathized with neo Nazis. There's nothing in the Constitution specifically forbidding such sympathies, but it's still pretty unsavory.

    TRUMP ‘PEE TAPE’ DOSSIER RESEARCHER TELLS INVESTIGATORS HE ‘STANDS BY’ EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATIONS ABOUT RUSSIA LINKS

    Glenn Simpson, whose firm compiled an infamous and salacious dossier about President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, told Senate investigators Tuesday that he “stands by” its findings. The private investigator and former reporter spent more than 10 hours being questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee after Chairman Chuck Grassley withdrew a subpoena when Simpson agreed to testify behind closed doors.

    "Mr. Simpson told Congress the truth and cleared the record on many matters of interest to congressional investigators,” Simpson’s attorney Josh Levy told reporters following the session, according to ABC News.

    Simpson co-founded the private research firm Fusion GPS, which was hired to produce a report on Trump. The dossier, largely prepared by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, alleges collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia. Among other explosive claims about the president’s links to the country are that the Kremlin has a compromising video of Trump getting prostitutes to urinate on a bed in a Moscow hotel in which Barack and Michelle Obama once stayed.

    The claims remain unverified and have been vehemently denied by Trump.

    “Now that was totally made-up stuff.... I know a lot about those guys, they’re phony guys,” Trump told The New York Times last month. “They make up whatever they want. Just not my thing. Plus, I have witnesses, because I went there with a group of people.”

    Yet the dossier has been treated with a degree of reverence by others. Last December, U.S. intelligence officials passed a summary of the report onto then-President Obama and President-elect Trump. It was then obtained and published in full by Buzzfeed News. It has since been reported that the FBI has used it to bolster its own investigation into the Trump campaign’s links to Russia, which is currently being headed by special counsel Robert Mueller.

    “Today, a special counsel and three congressional committees are investigating ties between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. Fusion GPS is proud of the work it has conducted and stands by it," Levy said.

    The Senate Judiciary Committee is not the main body responsible for investigating links between the Trump campaign and Russia and is nominally looking into Simpson’s alleged failure to register as a foreign lobbyist. However, headed by Grassley, a Republican, it is also seeking to find out the motivations for Fusion GPS’s research and who funded it. Fusion GPS has alleged that the investigation is an attempt to discredit the research.

    “This investigation into Mr. Simpson began as a desperate attempt by the Trump campaign and its allies to smear Fusion GPS because of its reported connection to the Trump dossier, which Watergate prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste and others have said is a ‘roadmap for an investigation,’” Levy said.

    I read two articles on it today....it's still an issue with some folks ..they claim Trump's team did try to arrange a Putin meeting just before the Kushner meeting at Trump tower...and some in the campaign were afraid to follow it through...hushed it up...not my research ..personally I think tax evasion and money laundering are what they'll find....Trump told Mueller that the line in the sand was his tax statements and real estate dealings and those of his families....he basically said hands off those issues..not sounding like a guy with nothing to hide, and that is why we are where we are with this situation.

    He did no such thing.

    He explicitly denounced the hate groups from day 1. He said there was violence on all sides. He was right.

    Learn the truth then post? Seems like good advice for you.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You're one of the committed few who thinks that. At least you have the consistency of your convictions.

    While maintaining a pose of public reserve, Mr. McConnell expressed horror to advisers last week after Mr. Trump’s comments equating white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., with protesters who rallied against them.

    Mitch McConnell is leftist media, I guess.

    "But we're closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Va.. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. It's been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This has been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America. What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives. No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society. And no child should ever be afraid to go outside and play or be with their parents and have a good time.​

    Learn the Truth, then post.

    He condemned the display of hatred and bigotry. He condemned the violence on both sides.

    He's absolutely right.

    These are the people who showed up on the left:

    Not 24/7. It's reasonable news that they found this email. It's not reasonable to claim there's conspiracy to it and hauling out the fossil Watergate era anti-trump talking heads all day long for days.

    Yes they did. There were some fine people there, to quote Trump.

    Re: this email.

    They're not doing the 24/7 latest constitutional crisis mode thing because they're already going to be exposed as the liars they are.

    CNN yesterday was entirely on the defensive. Trump turned that around with his speech in Phoenix.
