Is that a real question?
Since J. Edgar's days the Bureau has been notorious for its deceptions and political machinations. Alfred McCoy has been writing about the Cocaine Importing Agency's drug business since the 60's.
Do you live on an island?
I say again, I know Putin is a Russian nationalist. That said, his honorable behavior at the UN and subsequently in Syria have made him FAR more credible than any US politician or spook.
So Putin says that Russia didn't interfere in our election, so there's no need for the FBI or the CIA to investigate. Like Trump, you really believe Putin when he says he didn't meddle.
A credible guy.
For a murderer.
Not exactly. My position is that nobody has made the case that Russia actually did interfere. Your heroes Clapper and Brennan have not made their case. Mueller's many months of investigation have not made the case, and the plea Flynn entered into with Mueller, and the recorded conversations of Flynn and the Russians show that actually the Russians rejected Flynn's request regarding the UN vote.
So it's not so much believing Putin (though I do in this case), it is that damn near a year of investigation has turned up nothing to support the case. Indeed, bits and pieces show the Russians rejected Trump's overtures.
Murderers in high office are a dime-a-dozen. Bush has been convicted of war crimes already, and Obama might be right behind him. Gunslinger Barack killed more innocents with drones than Putin has.
Keep things in perspective sir, lest you appear as a hypocrite.
If you can’t see the difference between drone strikes and murder of specific political enemies to retain power....it explains a lot.
That you can rationalize the murder of innocents explains even more. My bet is you rationalize torture using the same sort of thinking.

It's ironic, isn't it? "We'll take the word of the FSB in an investigation into Russian influence in our elections." :doh
I'll take the word of the CIA, which intercepted communications between Russia and the Trump team.
I'll need to see some evidence. As it is, the only thing we know is that Carter Page went to Russia. That's the total of all the evidence presented to date. Last time I checked, we don't charge or convict anybody based on here-say. It's time to put up, or shut up for these people who make such claims.

Damn, who is that sitting next to Putin in Moscow? That's Flynn.
There are hundreds of photos of virtually everybody who's anybody in US government dining with Russians. They all must've been colluding and demonstrating flexibility.

Maybe if they lied about it to anyone that mattered maybe (and I do mean maybe) they'd be in just as much trouble as Flynn.
Lucky for them it never got to that point.
Case in point, Senator Claire McCaskill (referred to as Comrade Claire) said she never had a call or meeting with Ambassador Kislyak when she actually did both as well as went to a reception at his house and donated to group he's connected to. That's a lot to have forgotten.

But only a couple that have plead guilty to a felony lying about Russian contacts.

Which Doesn't prove that others, including those you support, haven't.
We're not supposed to mention the gross hypocrisy of the political left. If we Don't talk about it, it didn't happen. :roll:
Sure.
It also doesn’t prove the people you support are child rapists and serial killers and cannibals either.
No, but usually you can tell by their reaction that they're aware of it.
Why, that reminds me...has Franken packed his bandana on a stick and headed home yet, or is he still clinging to his seat?
You always conveniently omit facts that fail to suit your Trump/GOP agenda. Franken's D.C. office will be vacated shortly after Jan 1.
