I think it is slanderous to accuse the professionals who have dedicated their lives to protecting this country from our adversaries of being willing participants in undermining our democracy. And in case you didn't notice it, the Senate intelligence committee, a majority of which are Republicans and the Chairman of which is a Republican, issued its final report saying that the Russians did actively interfere with the 2016 elections in favor of President Trump. So even Republicans say there is a "there there." But I'm sure Putin appreciates your support.

Also, not even sure what you are talking about there. No one is still saying there is a 'there there' as far as Trump colluding with the Russians, other than maybe a couple of looney tunes at MSNBC. That hoax is dead and done. The Mueller nixed that; the IG/Horowitz report nixed that; the 1000s of released classified documents nixed that as well. The only issue now, as the investigators are now being investigated, is exactly who all was involved in perpetuating the hoax. The Senate Intelligence Report is not trying to keep the collusion hoax alive; all the report is trying to do is say that there was no premeditated conspiracy to take down Trump, but the recently un-redacted footnotes from the IG Report, along with newly declassified texts and emails from the FBI, seem to provide plenty of convincing evidence to the contrary.

One other correction, you are insinuating that "no there there" meant there was NO Russian interference. Everyone agrees the Russians tried to influence the election.

"No there there" was actually a quote from a text that Mueller team lead Peter Strzok sent when he figured out Trump's campaign was not colluding with the Russians. It had nothing to do with the Russians interfering in the election. But the Mueller investigation continued for more than a year even after the "no there there" text.

It went on for 22 months and cost the American taxpayers around $38m, even when they already knew there was no 'there there.' We know from the IG Report that the FBI concluded in January 2017 that the Steele Dossier, which the FBI used for all 4 FISA warrants, was crap, yet Jim Comey still recommended the formation of a special counsel. We also know with 100% certainty that the FBI received notice from the CIA that Carter Page was a CIA asset, but the FBI's top lawyer actually changed the wording of the email from the CIA to make it read that Page was NOT a CIA asset, and used that altered email to obtain one of the four FISA warrants. And now we see that the FISC judge has already ruled 2 of those 4 FISA warrants were not valid, and likely will rule the same with the other two. This stuff should make every American angry.

Oh gosh. somebody better tell Durham to shut the investigation down. I saw that the Senate Intelligence Committee's report, basically written by Richard Burr (R) and Mark Warner (D). If you want to believe them, based on the overwhelming evidence to the contrary (the IG Report, along with the now-declassified footnotes from the IG report, plus the thousands of declassified documents that Judicial Watch, among others, sued the Justice Department and State Dept. to get released), then go ahead. But I will trust what the AG has said recently over Warner and Burr.

But keep your head in the sand.



LOL. I guess this sort of nonsense is what happens when your worldview is provided by CNN and MSNBC.

Wtf are you even saying? I am one of those professionals (retired). There are many more of them on here. Are you trying to speak for us?

You do understand that when we are active duty...we give up our rights to an opinion, right?

What we fight for ( your right to say what ever dumb assed thing you want to say) and what we believe (our opinion, as the ones who actually fought for this right)...may differ. Don't ever confuse the two again.

Strange, I am retired military and I never was told that I was not allowed to have an opinion. In fact, opinions were pretty prevalent in my experience and they were from all over the political spectrum. It never limited my duty to follow legal orders or to dispute illegal orders..

It was an easy educated guess since the only report you seem to be aware of is the report from the Senate Intelligence Committee, and that is what the mainstream media pounced on in an attempt to counter the newly declassified IG report footnotes and the FBI documents, as they do anytime new evidence is released that further incriminates some of the top people in the Obama DOJ. The only times they discuss new evidence against Obama's FBI is toll call it "right wing conspiracy theory." That's all they got. The AG has already said the evidence he has seen is troubling, and he is not gong to say that casually.

So just who do you trust? If you had a gun to your head and was forced to make a choice, on one hand you can choose Trump and the administration, on the other you can choose Jake Tapper and Rachel Madcow. I am taking Trump and the administration 100 percent of the time

Exactly. I look at motives. Who has the most to gain or lose. If Trump/admin are wrong, they could lost the election - and with it the power to continue their agenda. If the left/Tapper/Madcow are wrong they lose nothing since they have nothing now.

I don't share your lack of trust in the admin, but do share that it will return in the fall. The CDC director stated as much in a presser - it will return in the fall. Birx said that the it is returning to lower, normal flu level status as it warms and the trend line has turned down strongly.

How harsh it returns in the fall will depend of therapeutics and herd immunity to go with any social distancing that occurs, washing hands, etc.

herd imm requires 70% infection. we're < 10%.

that would be catastrophic.

Wait, you're telling me my only two options are either the Trump administration or two news-entertainmenment people? That's like telling me I have to pick eating my gun or a handful of pills. Either way I'm dead.

Excuse me while I go drink a shot of Lysol.

We don't know where we stand with herd immunity. We do not yet have an accurate blood test. The rapid test that is being used is at least 20 % inaccurate and only 10% or less of the population have been tested. We are still way behind in knowing where we stand. I understand that the 2 hour "political" briefings have been postponed which should eliminate information such as, injecting disinfects and getting blasted with U. V. rays being suggested.
We will get the needed epidemiological information to allow a scientific plan to be developed and to determine if an efficient vaccine can be developed and if an effective treatment can be identified or developed. However, a timetable for these accomplishments is still unknown. After years of research, effective vaccines for the corona virus which cause the common cold have not been developed. This pandemic may be the catalyst needed for a vaccine to be to become available.
