monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

The notion that he encouraged the Russians to do so is goofy. The notion that this would be illegal is even goofie

You can't rewrite videotape. He said it repeatedly. I gokt a new computer, and the defulat search engine is Bing. I have nmo idea why. I can't figure out how to post a non youtube video on it but look at it and trky again to tell me he doesn't encourage Putin to hack Hillary. Doofus. Everyuone, even Republicans, were appalled at the very idea he would suggest it.

General Election results live: Hung parliament confirmed as UK votes for chaos

Britain has a hung parliament after Labour's victory in Southampton Test made it impossible for any party to reach the 326 MPs required to achieve an absolute majority in the House of Commons.

Not factual at all.

You should realize there are ALWAYS multiple opinions about what is lawful and why, and this is no different. You are taking one wet of uber conservative opinions of the law and running with them as if they were set in stone and ignoring all the other multiple opinions that say what Trump may have done is in fact illegal. You do that all the time, uyouchoose one particular set op opinions that yu happen to agree with and deny there are any others.

And it was the GOP who came up with the special prosecutor, not the Dems.

Mueller’s appointment complicates Congress’ Russia investigations

Robert Mueller's appointment as a special counsel has quickly complicated Congress' investigations into Russia’s election meddling.

The leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees are anxious to speak with Mueller, who’s now overseeing the FBI’s parallel Russia probe, to ensure their congressional investigations don’t interfere. But Mueller has yet to agree to meet with congressional investigators, according to the panels' leaders.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, who chairs a Judiciary subcommittee with oversight over the FBI, is simply putting the brakes on his investigation. “One of the realities of having somebody looking into potential criminal charges is that you've got to be careful what you do in Congress,” said Graham, a former Air Force lawyer.

if Congress’ investigation crumbles, the public may never find out the depths of Russian intrusion in the 2016 election, as a special counsel is largely focused on whether anyone broke the law.

Eric Holder slammed for ‘Fast and Furious’ obstruction

The House Oversight Committee let loose with a scathing assessment of Eric Holder in a recent report, accusing the Barack Obama-era attorney general of outright misleading Congress on its investigation of the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal.

Among the report’s 300 pages is the committee’s finding that Holder regarded the family of murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry as a “nuisance.” Terry’s death was supposedly the incident that led to revelation of Fast and Furious — the program that saw the feds turn blind eyes to 2,000 or so firearms illegally purchased by drug smugglers, in hopes of tracing them to cartel big-wigs. Sadly, the feds then lost track of 1,400 or so of these weapons — two of which turned up at Terry’s crime scene.

Holder told investigators he didn’t know of this program before Terry’s murder. But report authors say that’s just not true. The report also claims Holder’s Justice officials purposely stonewalled Sen. Chuck Grassley with his requests to learn more of the program.

So what’s to come of this report? Likely: Nothing.

Most in America, already know Holder’s a deceiver with a past that includes using his Justice position to spy on the media and to drum up anti-police rhetoric within the black communities of America.

And most in America already know that Holder — and leftists of his ilk — are well-protected by high-ranking Democrats, progressives and radicals who will do what it takes to shield their own from accountability and prosecution.

“From Operation Fast and Furious to his misleading testimony before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the Department’s dealings with members of the media and his refusal to appoint a special counsel to investigate the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups, Mr. Holder has consistently played partisan politics with many of the important issues facing the Justice Department.”

Holder became the first sitting Cabinet official to be found in contempt of Congress. Holder...has chosen w moment to call it quits. “It was a quit-now or never-quit moment,” one former administration official said. “You didn’t want confirmation hearings in 2015 if the Republicans control the Senate.

As the evidence mounts that in fact the Russians were illegally hacking DNC sites and employees and running a sophisticated disinformation scheme and fake news stories in an attempt to sway the election for Trump, who encouraged them illegally to do so, it becomes ever more important to fully explore what Trump knew about it and when he knew it, and the role he played, wittingly or unwittingly in furthering it.. And the role his campaign advisers played in spreading it and furthering it. So far the noose around them seems to be getting tighter and tighter.
