  1. At this point in our history, the Pro Trumpers are now complicit with the Russians. They would prefer TrumpGOP than our Democracy, country and country people.

    1. @Annnora C Makes much more sense that Russia would be helping Bernie. OH WAIT! Bernie was identified of such acts by Russia FOR his campaign.

    1. @Jason Blade im an independent and i agree with him so far theres no proof just seems like they are making excuses for when trump wins again

    2. John Snow “independent” “when trump wins” yeah…. you know how I spot covert trumpie like you? The laziness. That’s how. Gtfo

    3. The man yep… I replied to him before you… but it’s gone somehow… whatever it was a low quality and effort troll

    4. @Jason Blade dude trump is goin to win easily thats just the truth no matter how bad you want to pretend otherwise

    5. —- > Trump conspired with the Russians in 2016 and is doing so again.
      1) Putin confessed at the Helsinki conference on July 17, 2018,

      3) Rick Gates testified that he witnessed a phone call between Trump and Stone in late July, shortly after the DNC email releases began, while Gates was in a car with Trump driving to LaGuardia Airport. Gates said that after the call ended, Trump told him that “more information would be coming.”

  2. THE REPUBLICAN SENATE AND MITCH MCCONNELL ARE SITTING ON A BILL THAT WOULD PROTECT THE VOTERS IN THE US AND ASSURE OUR VOTES ARE ACCURATELY COUNTED. MOSCOW MITCH I’S HELPING RUSSIA steal another election

    1. Most of the GOP are either on Putin’s payroll, but more than likely there’s a helluva lot more Russia has on them when they hacked the RNC.

  3. He has been aiding a hostile foreign government that conducted cyber warfare against this country since the very beginning. What’s the word for that again?

  4. The country we had is 99.99% gone. We know trump’s part in destroying us. I want to know why every Republican in Congress, starting with McConnell, Graham, Nunes, and Jordan, is aiding trump and assisting Putin/Russia to make that happen. trump’s too stupid to pull this off alone and they all knew this was happening in 2016 during the campaign. We also need answers about Pence. He is not the squeaky clean Christian patriot he professes to be.

  5. Trivia question: What is in the heap of paperwork sitting on Moscow Mitch’s desk?
    Answer:
    Passed House (06/27/2019)
    Securing America’s Federal Elections Act or the SAFE Act

    This bill addresses election security through grant programs and requirements for voting systems and paper ballots.

    The bill establishes requirements for voting systems, including that systems (1) use individual, durable, voter-verified paper ballots; (2) make a voter’s marked ballot available for inspection and verification by the voter before the vote is cast; (3) ensure that individuals with disabilities are given an equivalent opportunity to vote, including with privacy and independence, in a manner that produces a voter-verified paper ballot; (4) be manufactured in the United States; and (5) meet specified cybersecurity requirements, including the prohibition of the connection of a voting system to the internet.

    The National Science Foundation must award grants to study, test, and develop accessible voter-verified paper ballot voting and best practices to enhance the accessibility of such voting for individuals with disabilities, for voters whose primary language is not English, and for voters with difficulties in literacy.

    The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) must award grants to states to replace certain voting systems, carry out voting system security improvements, and implement and model best practices for ballot design, ballot instructions, and the testing of ballots.

    States must carry out postelection risk-limiting audits for all federal elections, funded by the EAC.

    States may use elections requirements payments from the EAC to carry out activities related to election security.

    The EAC must provide for the testing of voting system hardware and software and decertify such technology that does not meet guidelines.

    1. For all of you posting about how Prez Trump will be re-elected in a landslide and all that—
      Is Fox News MSM?

      Explain answer, please.

    2. majtom58 Yeah while you guys were busy watching TV Vlad stole your whole party. Or didn’t you realize the Democratic Party has now completely fallen to socialists? Congratulations, Komrade. Nice projection.

  6. Russian election interference is the greatest threat to national security we’ve ever faced. The president’s number one responsibility is to protect the country from ALL threats, foreign and domestic. If he refuses to do it, he is definitely a traitor.

  7. R.Mueller stated “It’s happening NOW” as I sit here in this hearing and testify. What’s wrong with the Republicans who have been blinded by this mess of a president! Who do and say nothing!

    1. Yeah and he also said it’s happeneing not with the Russians but all foriegn actors. He never said it was limited to just Russians.

  8. Wow, “He’s Aiding and Abetting Russia” This is not fking news, everyone knows that. I’m expecting Trump to invite Putin to the White House for strategy lessons on how to shut down the free press, murder journalists and political opponents and create the next pizzagate. Who would be surprised at that?

    1. @Cathy Cole it’s not even about parties or ideals at this point. It’s about a nacisistic, pathilogical-lying, corrupt Trump, who cares nothing about this country and only satisfying is own ego. Trump is selling out this country and destroying democracy for his personal gain.

  9. Russia NEVER LEFT! Get him & them OUT!!! It really is “OUR” FREEDOM @ risk. Do it for AMERICA! DO IT FOR YOUR CHILDREN , & THEIR CHILDREN. Blue. Vote. Blue

    1. From the beginning dt was. Caused chaos purposely. That was their goal to do. Didn’t take long for all r’s to cave. We are trapped with an illegitimate non-president now. A sham & scam. Ridiculous that our people, Americans, voted for this piece of crappola.
      Folks need to read, educate yourselves as to who this non-human really is. Sick.

    2. Trump is in the White House because the Russian put him there to help to keep America fighting among itself. A weak United States of America benefits the Russian so they can make move across the glob.

    1. Yeah yeah.
      My theory is that putty-face (pooootin) is blackmailing dt. He has all kinds of materials on jabberwocky. 😨 For real, dt does not want anyone to know he was partying with russian call girls. Not at all far fetched. Goon cheated on wife countless times. A pathetic liar, thief, crook and rabid criminal. Lock him up.

  10. Moscow Mitch has been successfully blocking legislation that would protect our elections every time it is brought to the senate for a vote. I think it has been brought to the senate 4 times now and each time it has been blocked. Time for paper ballots and everyone should be calling their reps in both the senate and the house to complain and demand that they protect our elections.
