Lol! Trump won! Lol! You guys are mad! Trump won the popular vote - get over it! The democrats are just mad and reaching for anything! It's still Obama's fault. Congratulations.

However, no American media outlets were allowed to cover the event — and only photographers from Russia’s state-run media were allowed to snap photos, such as the one posted by the Russian embassy’s official Twitter account. ===================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 898 #309 May 10, 2017 While trying to claim it wasn't "media". it was "personal photographers". I find it interesting the admin claims that Comey committed "atrocities", yet regarding Flynn, the didn't want to smear "a good man". We simply cannot, should not, tolerate a president that fires the FBI director while that president is under investigation by that department. This is flat out wrong.

"We don't think it's necessary," she said. "No one wants this to be finished and completed more than us." You know what, Ms Saunders? I completely believe you on that.

AND To date, everyone asked has stated for the record that no EVIDENSE of collusion exits as of yet. And the investigation has been going on since July. And given the fact that this is all driven by illegal leak activity and illegal unmasking activity it would seem, that those who intercepted and illegally leaked records would show collusion, and those who illegally leaked Flynn's name and other would have leaked incriminating info if they had it. Have you seen any? Bill, We are not seeing TDS. No. We are seeing TIS (Trump insanity syndrome). BTW Did you see the last list of the YOUNG judges who will be sitting on the various courts soon? I love their qualifications. But yet, Trump is failing miserably you say?

I actually think Flynn may be prosecuted for not disclosing the money he took from Russia. I have no problem with that. But the fantasy of the other story is something to follow.
