    1. @Mainely There’ll be a huge difference between what is about to happen and what has been happening for the last 3 years….It’ll be based on facts and lots and lots of DOCUMENTATION complete with signatures of the criminals. There will be no denying what was done

  1. Where is the whole interview. Can’t wait until all this comes out. I can’t wait to see who has turned to help this investigation!! It’s going to be interesting when all this is exposed

    1. @J Bell sorta like for the right? Like how most people around Trump end up in jail? I wonder if that just a coincidence that Trump surrounds himself with criminals? Only a trumpist could beleive the guy who created a fake university to scam poor people is telling the truth.

    2. @incipidsigninsetup Apparently you have NOT read the IG report. Criminal fraud on the FISA court perpetrated by the FBI under James Comey.

    3. @Anand Nathan Mueller had a fisa warrant. Trump is just mad the fbi can legally investigate him. His whole basis is the fbi illegaly investigated him, and the IG report debunks that. So woomp woomp, looks like game over.

    1. A President who attacks our FBI, Our fighters who save our nation, AND on the same day has Russians, who attacked our election, IN Our White House, IS UNFIT. Trump loves Russia & Russian MONEY more than us & our USA. He is greedy & unstable. This is wrong! Do the Republicans want to be elected on lies more than having courage to protect our Country? Russia is an aggressive, killing, nation grabbing country. Trump is so stupid he can not see this? Trump did not read the IG Report, that is laughable. He will not does not read anything! He does not Protect us, Trump puts us in Danger.

  2. To avoid public confusion from the very man who created public confusion with Muller’s Report. Incredible!

    1. UNBELIEVEABLE….WE SHOULD ALL HIT THE STREETS…………LIKE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WITH THUGS RUNNING IT. ESAD BARR

    1. “…indictments…”
      Of course, that won’t happen, since Barr is the one who decides what cases will be investigated and prosecuted.

    1. If the leaders of our government can make up conspiracies then why can’t the citizens, after all Rudy Giuliani says it’s not against the law to lie to the Press. kellyanne Conway says alternative facts and Mulvaney says get over it

    2. @dennis shady guliani also said truth is not truth a couple of others admitted they lie to the press all the time. (names escape me at the moment) I’ve given up believing ANYTHING from supporters of dump.

    1. @Dave Schultz The “real truth” as you call it, has been desperately investigated and propagated for 3 years now and they can’t dig up anything on the Dems. Sad

    1. @turfxpert I have read , the Muller Report, Trumps Ukraine Phone Call and the US Constitution; Trump did
      commit Crimes against the Constitution, Plus bribery and extorsion!
      All for the Benefit of Russia! Trump is Not a King, and All US laws cover the President of the US!
      Trump is Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!

    2. Well…. we found out lies were used in the fisa court….and they lied about when their coup operation started….and much more..

    1. On February 21, 1975, Nixon’s Attorney General John N. Mitchell, was
      found guilty of CONSPIRACY, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, and PERJURY and
      sentenced to two and a half to eight years in prison for his role in the
      Watergate break-in and cover-up, which he dubbed the “White House
      horrors.” As a result of the conviction, Mitchell was sent to prison and
      disbarred from the practice of law.

    1. @aprox Trump was warned! About Manafort and Flynn. I could seriously care less about the the scandals and crimes of Hillary, Obama, or Bill, or either of the Bush’s!! They’re NOT the president at this point in time and they’re NOT the one handing our country over to Russia! It’s trump destroying this nation IN REAL TIME!! I’d suggest you keep up. It’s 2019. You’re just as bad as Trump – deny and deflect. Take no accountability or responsibility for what’s going on in the here and now. Never admit guilt, even if proven guilty – are words the president lives by. He’s a master manipulator and the giant gaslighter of the century!! He will go down in history as the worst president to ever hold the office.

    2. Here is the full interview that explains better. https://youtu.be/LRKFo0JmuBc

      This is how it fell apart. Page 188 of the report which is page 224 of the document download. The first paragraph explains that the Steele info was made up talk over beers and jesting.

      The Primary Sub-source was questioned again by the FBI beginning in March
      2017 about the election reporting and his/ her communications with Steele. The
      Washington Field Office agent {WFO Agent 1) who conducted that interview and
      others after it told the OIG that the Primary Sub-source felt that the tenor of
      Steele’s reports was far more “conclusive” than was justified. The Primary Sub-
      source also stated that he/she never expected Steele to put the Primary Sub-
      source’s statements in reports or present them as facts. According to WFO Agent
      1, the Primary Sub-source said he/ she made it clear to Steele that h’e/she had no
      proof to support the statements from his/her sub-sources and that “it was just
      talk.” WFO Agent 1 said that the Primary Sub-source explained that his/ her
      information came from “word of mouth and hearsay;” “conversation that [he/she]
      had with friends over beers;” and that some of the information, such as allegations
      about Trump’s sexual activities, were statements he/she heard made in “jest.”341
      The Primary Sub-source also told WFO Agent 1 that he/she believed that the other
      sub-sources exaggerated their access to information and the relevance of that
      information to his/her requests. The Primary Sub-source told WFO Agent 1 that
      he/she “takes what [sub-sources] tell [him/ her] with ‘a grain of salt.”‘

    3. Dominic Buckley – how stupid are you? The case of Trump’s campaign colluding with anyone from Russia was proven bogus by the time Trump took office. All the process crimes that came after that point, would not have happened if they would have done the proper thing and close the investigation.
