Rep. Adam Schiff says that we know that the Russians offered help, the Trump campaign accepted that help, and Donald Trump made full use of that help.

Courtesy of the New York Post:  

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said the evidence mounting in the Russia probe against President Trump’s campaign is “damning.” “We do know this,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” 

“The Russians offered help. The campaign accepted help. The Russians gave help. And the president made full use of that help. And that’s pretty damning, whether it is proof beyond a reasonable doubt of conspiracy or not.”

I think most of us have realized this awhile ago, but to have the top Democrat on the house Intelligence Committee, which is currently investigating all of this, say it out loud is still pretty huge. 

Now we just need that top Republican in that committee agree and we are essentially off to the races.

My hope is that the 2018 mid term election will be a bloodbath for the GOP, and that we send so many new Democrats to Washington that there will be no choice but to proceed with impeachment proceedings.

If I have one Christmas wish, that would be it.

    That, and Roy Moore speaks ruassian!

    "“I studied Russian at one time,” he says, laughing, “at the United States military academy at West Point. And that’s about all I could say to him.”"

      I trust Roy Moore even less than I trust Donald Trump. They make quite a pair though.

    I agree, the 2018 election will be a bloodbath for the GOP if the electorate comes to its senses.

    1. The operative word being *if*.

      I think the Molester Moore voting will show that the Deplorables will vote for any piece of shit as long as it has an (R) after it's name. Even if the Democrat running against him is Jesus Christ. As one Deplorable put it so well. (If Jesus told me Trump colluded with the Russians, I'd check with Trump first.)

      The only way the Democrats are going to pick up any seats is if the Republicans stay home. That's not going to happen as the Democrats have a history of staying home on off years.

      You'll see Franken's seat probably go to a Republican too. (Fucking stupid Democrats.)

    Ok,I am confused by his last sentence, is he saying whether that is proof beyond a reasonable doubt will be up to Mueller? He didn't complete the thought

    I am reasonable and i have no doubt,trump and his band of thugs are guilty.
    Lock him up and throw away the key.

    There is no way to send enough Dems to either branch in 2018 to have the necessary majority to impeach or even institute the articles of impeachment, there simply aren't enough seats up for election in either house or senate, but what Dems and Independents CAN do is just vote and by 2020 things might be more in our favor, but this go 'round won't be a game changer.

    Change doesn't happen over night and what we need are voters casting their votes regardless of whether this will be a monumental election, a slow drip is all we have now be part of it.

      I would like to believe that when Mueller's report comes out and proves trump is guilty of working with the Russians, the republicans will be forced to impeach.
      Otherwise we no longer live in a democracy and the constitution is worthless

      Excuse me but ALL the seats will be up for election in the House, just as they are every 2 years.

      You are correct, but if you look at the numbers very few of those seats are in jeopardy and will likely go to the same person, if incumbent, and if not at least to the same party.

      The site below has a nice overview of competitive House races in 2018.

      20 are listed as "toss-up" 16 of those are GOP 4 are Dem. Even if all 20 went Dem that would put the House count at 213/219 Dem/GOP, still not a majority. If only 4 of those seats that don't tend strongly towards a GOP win go Dem then there could be a Dem majority, so basically if 24 seats flip there will be the barest of Dem majorities in the House.

    1. Why should Tennessee Republicans be any different than Alabama Republicans. They are the party before country Deplorables. They'll vote for Satan if there is an (R) after his name, even if the Democrat is Jesus Christ himself.

    The folks in Detroit are angry they will not have representation for a year.
    Synder doesn't want to spend the money for a special election and he can't appoint anyone because of the state constitution
    The republicans are playing it up that it is the fault of Pelosi and the democrats for forcing Conyers to resign
    Maybe they need to allow the ethics committee do their job before railroading the next guy cuz I don't see rethugs running to resign

    1. That means the Dems down by 1 vote for a year.

      If Franken is replaced with the MN Lt Gov that seat will go to a Republican in 2018 as she's already said she won't seek re-election to it in 2018. The least he could do is put in a strong candidate that would run and win.

      The Democrats are so full of shit, they can't win worth squat. Just fucking stupid.

      Franken is the one they should have left alone for the ethics committee to investigate and release a recommendation.

      unfortunately it would appear that the "so called president" has already sold his soul to the devil, so he cares little about the resulting consequences

      I would agree that humans have a personal entity apart from just their physical existence.

      However you define "soul", there is zero evidence that any gods exist.

      The bible verse referred to intends to coerce humans into a religious belief system.

      Religins (all of them) are the worst thing that has ever been inflicted on the human species, and for an example, I give you Donald Trump:

      An immoral beast of filth, lust, rape, greed, hatred, and violence who is supported and loved by 50 million Christian evangelicals.

      What does it profit CHristians to support a sybaritic monster like Trump, and lose your reputation, self respect, integrity, and morals?

    "Watergate investigative journalist Carl Bernstein said on Sunday that Fox News hosts are now President Donald Trump’s co-conspirators because they are “abetting a cover-up” by attacking special counsel Robert Mueller and undermining his investigation.

    Mediaite.com said that Bernstein was appearing on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” when he said that it could be obstruction of justice or a criminal matter that the White House is hiding, but Sean Hannity, “Judge Jeanine” Pirro and others are aiding and abetting in its concealment.

    “It abets a cover-up because there is a cover-up going on in the White House and among Trump’s aides and former aides relating to the investigations,” Bernstein told “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter. “We don’t know what the cover-up is about, whether it constitutes an obstruction of justice or a criminal conspiracy at this point.”

    “But yes,” he went on, “because the commentators that you are hearing and showing are not open in any way to the best obtainable version of the truth, to facts, context, who seem to be oblivious to the serial lying of the President of the United States and members of his family and staff. They are abetting a cover-up.”"

    Unfortunately, most Republicans (and Fox viewers) would say that it's not a big deal, that we should like Russia more and that Trump was right to accept the help. Honest to God, we have Republican friends (well, sort of) who don't seen anything wrong with the collusion with a foreign power, and especially with Russia, to win a US election. There must have been some kind of gigantic mind games going on between 2015 and November 2016 that wiped Republican brains of all memories of Russian history and behavior since 1915. So now Republicans are not so much wrapping themselves in the American flag as covering their heads in the Russian flag!
