*Politics* Who would you like to see lead the investigation?

Ooh that would be good.

I said on another post that I would like to see Comey in charge of an independent investigation. Congress won't have the balls to appoint him, but he has proven his impartiality with the ability to go after either side without caring who gets pissed about it. He also has the background info to know where to look and move an investigation forward quickly.

Besides, it would totally send Trump over the edge. Can you imagine the tweet storm?

Great choice   He's have solved the whole debacle in an hour.

There won't be a independent investigation and there will be no special prosecutor appointed. The republicans are in power and there is nothing that can be done. Only if there are millions of people protesting in the streets. Then maybe the republicans would do something???

He would be my choice too.

Well...McConnell is saying it won't happen!

There won't be an investigation, and today, 45 appointed a commission to start limiting democratic voting.

A little off topic, but Burr is under a lot of pressure at home, here in North Carolina. He won his last election but it was closer than it should have been considering how weak his Democratic opponent was. The changing demographics here have made us a purple state and based on what I have heard from his staff members they have been swamped with calls urging him to not be partisan regarding Trump. I know my husband and I call and write on a weekly basis. We wouldn't vote for Burr anyways but we make it clear we will actively fund his next opponent if he goes along with Trump on every thing just because he ran as a Republican. He knows he is high profile due to his role as Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and he got absolutely hammered here when he spoke to the White House about the Russia investigation a few months ago. I don't think he will want to go the independent investigation route, but he will definitely keep pursuing the Trump/Russia ties in the Senate as long as it stays in the spotlight.

Excellent choice!

That is exactly what I was talking about. It is a commission that will develop new strategies for suppressing and limiting votes.

I dunno, what is Ken Starr up to these days???

The alleged voter fraud commission, which will be run by Chris Kobach, who famously has led voter suppression efforts in Kansas.

Cagney & Lacey

Word is, it won't be Pence. Won't be Ryan. It'll be Hatch.

Also, other active investigations ongoing via DOJ:


0. Because of  the existence of an active, ongoing investigation,
the FBI anticipates that it will assert Exemption 7(A), on a categorical basis, to withhold all records that are responsive
to the Russia Request, because releasing any responsive records (or portions thereof)
“could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.” 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)
