Glad someone around that swamp has some nuts. Basically the complete opposite of Ted Cruz.

Why do people care if trump has business interests in Russia? We need to work together with Russia and if trump can make a few extra bucks off of that what is the big deal?

Miss Linsey asked Clapper about Trump's business ties to Russia yesterday. It was an odd exchange.

This is nothing but a dog and pony show to give the dem muh Russians some hope in their extreme depression.

Screw the swamp.

The Russia-Trump collusion story is a total hoax, when will this taxpayer funded charade end?

Are you really saying "what is the big deal" if a sitting President uses his position to increase the profits of his private business? Let's ignore that it Russia for the moment. It's still an extremely bad idea.

I have long since grown weary of DC politics. Politicians, a waste of humanity.

Why?

For what purpose?

To what end?

When will they probe Hillary's dealings with Russia. Follow the money, CGI and Uranium deals....? Seems like Graham wants to switch parties...

What's the point in probing a private citizen?

It's a horrible idea. I agree with you. Can we hold congress to this same standard?

Rational people should be concerned about conflicts of interest. A sitting President that has financial ties and interests in a country we have economic sanctions against could certainly point to massive conflicts of interest, especially when that President has refused to fully divest himself from his companies.

It was a concern with Hillary and the Clinton Foundation, and it should be a concern now. It's appalling that has to be explained to people.
