    Actually, I think FBI Director Comey violated the Hatch Act (look it up) by talking about what was presumed to be an ongoing investigation right before the election. There's no doubt that also influenced the result. BTW Hillary's investigation stayed where it was previously. Not enough evidence of wrong-doing to prosecute. Of course Trump wanted his revenge anyway but as usual was operating outside of the law.

    That's a non sequitur.

    Mr. Comey’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee created a treacherous political moment for Mr. Trump, who has insisted that “Russia is fake news” that was cooked up by his political opponents to undermine his presidency. Mr. Comey placed a criminal investigation at the doorstep of the White House and said officers would pursue it “no matter how long that takes.”

    American officials have said that they have so far found no proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but current and former officials say they have uncovered evidence that Mr. Trump’s associates were in repeated contact with Russian officials — including people linked to Russian intelligence.

    The emphasis is on "so far."

    3 US CODE sub section 102
    The President shall receive in full for his services during the term for which he shall have been elected compensation...

    If he elects to give it away, that's his business.

    We can send Mexico boo coo bucks, as now, or cut sending them money and appropriate that money toward the wall.

    So he criticized Barry, so what? You just criticized Trump. So what? How is that a lie?

    Do you think Trump instructed campaigners to speak to the Russian govt.? I don't. Had any of his campaigners told Trump that was their intent or that they did? And what is more important, that Trump didn't believe any campaigners had spoken to the Russians, or what the campaigners spoke to the Russian govt about? The charge was some sort of conspiracy. Was there? And if so, what was it?

    People were pressuring him for his Tax returns. He responded with an Audit, and an if then. He should of said it none of your damn business, because it isn't, and he has no legal obligation to oblige the public.

    Did he also say, his ISIS plan would be front page news? Actually he said things in the opposite regard.

    Still reads his business reports? Petty.

    And not news ~ As enemies of the State are on "watch lists", so are "Christians".

    Federal Government lists Evangelical Christianity as a top terrorist threat.

    I like Trump. Unlike career politicians, who talk in circles saying noting, Trump says the same things the people at large say. Having ideas and determination and confidence are IMO strong points. Being a side-line critic is of little interest to me. A couple of months in office and people are complaining while seemingly not noticing he has a protocol to follow and a brick wall called Democrats.

    You should learn the process of HOW legislation is introduced.
    And FYI the President is not a legislator.

    The major US intelligence agencies and law enforcement have found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. They have been looking for months. In fact Democrat operative John Podesta has had way more interaction with the Russians than anyone in the Trump campaign. Wonder why he is not being investigated?

    Because his side lost the election. Because he's not the President.

    At some point it becomes nothing but a witch hunt. They either have evidence against him or they don't.

    It already is. Has been from the very beginning. All Obama's spying did no good whatsoever.

    Not exactly. Senate Intelligence Committee to start Russia probe interviews next week

    The Senate Intelligence Committee will begin as soon as Monday privately interviewing 20 people in its ongoing investigation of Russian involvement in the 2016 election as well as potential ties to the Trump campaign, its leaders said Wednesday.

    The Senate Intelligence Committee is not the FBI, NSA, CIA, and National Intelligence Service. Those organizations have been investigating for months, and have found no evidence of illegal activity on the part of Trump or his campaign regarding Russia.
