Sen. Christopher Coons (D-Del.) said Sunday that a report that the FBI launched an investigation into the possibility that President Trump was working for Russia is "alarming" and highlights the need for special counsel Robert Mueller to conduct his own probe without interference.

"It suggests to me that the Mueller investigation needs to continue to its logical conclusion," Coons said on "Fox News Sunday."
==================================================
He went on to raise concerns over Trump's "steadfast refusal" to accept the U.S. intelligence community's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, and Trump's repeated calls for closer relations between the U.S. and Moscow.

Trump has also never said anything negative about Putin or Russia, even though they are our major global adversary. The recent listing of sanctions against Oleg Deripaska shows a questionable relationship between the Trump administration & Russia.

According to the original NYT article, that was based on unnamed sources, Mueller has been aware of this since the day he started his work. Does Sen. Coons think this is news to Mueller? Does he think that Mueller hasn't already investigated this?

Personally, I think Coons should employ a bit of credibility assessment before he becomes "alarmed" at what amounts to rumors.

You more than anybody. Seriously. :lol:

Mueller IS going to finish his probe. How is that not clear to everyone at this point?

From the so called bombshell story from the President Trump hating NYT:

No evidence has emerged publicly that Mr. Trump was secretly in contact with or took direction from Russian government officials. An F.B.I. spokeswoman and a spokesman for the special counsel’s office both declined to comment.

So Sen. Christopher Coons is doing what a democratic Senator is going to do. Stir the pot and cause as much turmoil
for President Trump as possible! Coons is spreading more false information/democratic talking points.

Yeah, and all they can resort to are, "What did he possibly do to deserve being taken out in handcuffs?"

I don't deal with "gotcha" people. You either debate, or you don't, but I don't play around with silliness.

Well the FBI don't know what they are talking about, since they investigated HRC three times and didn't find anything to charge her with.

They are, apparently, as useless as tits on a boar hog now. :shrug:

Or so I've heard.

Cite your evidence.

Another liberal who cant back up her bull**** bites the dust.

Nope. Just not taking your bait!

:lol: There are hundreds of threads on this board alone that verify my claim with information, links, etc. If you don't want to believe any of them, and you feel that the FBI and the DOJ and the news outlets are all lying, that's on you, and some little nobody from a political forum isn't going to change your mind. That very reason is why I don't play "gotcha." The information is out there. You refuse to believe it.
