Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who told ABC's "This Week" that "I think there is evidence" of Trump colluding with Moscow.

"I can’t go into the particulars of our closed investigation," Schiff said, "but I also think there is evidence of obstruction [of justice]. But in both cases, I would say, whether there is some evidence doesn’t mean there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Good grief this is a joke.

Evidence, but it's not proof? Okay!

Trump, Russia and a Shadowy Business Partnership

It’s not clear how carefully Trump vetted his Bayrock partners. But his lack of concern about their backgrounds – and the potential risk to his own reputation from dealing with them - was part of a pattern. In Atlantic City, he had partnered with men with organized crime ties. Later, he and his children struck deals in Brazil and Azerbaijan with partners who had murky backgrounds or unusual legal entanglements.

Sater said in court filings that he disclosed his securities fraud conviction to members of the Trump Organization. He assumed they had told Trump, but he wasn't sure.

"It's not very hard to get connected to Donald if you make it known that you have a lot of money and you want to do deals and you want to put his name on it," Abe Wallach, who was the future president's right-hand man at the Trump Organization from 1990 to about 2002, told me in an interview. "Donald doesn't do due diligence. He relies on his gut and whether he thinks you have good genes."

Velo, Michael Bloomberg and Trump have a contentious history. Take anything in a Bloomberg publication with a grain of salt.

That divide grows every time a Democrat occupies the White House. Fact look it up.

I've not been able to find specific numbers relating to the party in office but attached is an article on the shrinking middle class by decades...

http://www.npr.org/2016/07/07/484941939/a-portrait-of-americas-middle-class-by-the-numbers

It breaks down the numbers from 1971-2015 as a percentage of the population.

'71-'81: Down 2% from 61% to 59%. '71-'74 Nixon (R), '74-'77 Ford (R), '77-'81 Carter (D).

'81-'91: Down 3% from 59% to 56%. '81-'89 Reagan (R), '89-'91 HW Bush (R).

'91-'01: Down 2% from 56% to 54%. '91-'93 HW Bush (R), '93-'01 Clinton (D).

'01-'11: Down 3% from 54% to 51%. '01-'09 W Bush (R), '09-'11 Obama (D).

'11-'15: Down 1% from 51% to 50%. '11-'15 Obama (D).

As I mentioned above, this does not break it down into specifics as to when it happened within the decade and who was in office at the time, but in the two decades with 3% drops in the middle class, 17 of the 20 years had a Republican in office, or 85% of the time America saw the sharpest declines in the middle class.

I'm not saying you're wrong, as I don't have stats to back up the decline based on who was President, and honestly I don't know that it matters. Based on these numbers it's a continuous decline regardless of which party is in office.

So, what's the real fix?

I'd like to track those numbers on a graph with the increases in taxes, regulations, and social safety net spending.

Trump had Russian mobsters living and conducting business out of Trump Tower. Again Mueller wouldn't have hired investigators specialize in Eastern Europe organizaed crime and financial crimes. Every rock will be turn and every skeleton that Trump has in his closet will looked at.

Government social spending as zero and regulations have zero to do with the shrinking middle class. Get real. It's about lost jobs and falling income over a 30-year period since the mid-1980s or so. Wages and salaries were flat or even fell during the period despite a dramatic surge in productivity. Of course, executive salaries and bonuses skyrocketed. The 1980s is when U.S. businesses adopted a philosophy of ruthless cost-cutting--and employees/workers have paid the price.

I love how conservatives are always trotting out this stupid false equivalency between Obama or Clinton and Trump--as if there is any comparison. It is evidence of a weak, biased mind. The list of Trump's unethical behavior is a mile long. Obama had more integrity in his pinkie than Trump--and yet goofs try to pretend otherwise.

Wow. You have drank the Kool Aid, vomited it up, bathed in it, and drank it all over again.

Trump actually has deep ties to the Crips street gang. They helped to get him elected and in turn he would deport their rivals, MS-13
