The Senate Intelligence Committee has been authorized to conduct a bipartisan investigation into Rice's activities.    I guess they don't agree with reo's assessment of the situation.

So you agree that there is great cause to investigate Trump and his Russia ties then. Glad we finally agree.

Did we just get another Russian troll on this board?

It can't be a coincidence that all the not so bright posters on this board are die hard Trump supporters. 

The Obama Admin tried so hard to sabotage Trump's campaign they never leaked the fact he had ties to Russia before the election

and they're also investigating possibly collusion between Trump and Russia.

No, it has not been debunked.   Wiretapping probably so, but not inappropriate surveillance.

Every person in this country is a victim of inappropriate surveillance by the government.... Considering the FBI was aware of his ties with Russia during the campaign I don't think that surveilling him was inappropriate. The White House didn't order any wiretapping or surveillance. The only thing they did was request the unmasking of names of US citizens that were in communications with Russians being monitored by US spies. This is something that's done on a regular basis no matter who the president is ne it's been done for decades... it's a matter of national security. And look what happened... the Russians hacked our election and altered votes On both sides. Seems like they had appropriate reason to be watching to me. 

Btw the FBI was most likely watching every single candidate and their close associates... if you don't think that's the case you are crazy.

Really the only point I am making is you libs are going full out to convict Trump of colluding with the Russians, while bushing off the illegal surveillance activities.   Some of you are going so far as to saying it has been debunked, which I have proven is beyond false.    They both should be investigated.

The FBI is allowed to do surveillance as part of their job.   The White House is not.   And the fact that the Senate is investigating Susan Rice proves something was not right.

it's been largely debunked.

Doesn't prove anything. Just like the investigation into Trump's connection doesn't prove that something wasn't right there either... That's the point of the investigation. Granted there's a ton more smoke w/ the Trump/Russia thing than the Rice stuff but neither prove anything just b/c there's an investigation.

You do understand, that even assuming Rice was looking for defamation information, that the investigation was already under way and it's not evidence that Obama ordered Trump team surveillance, right?

No it is not evidence.  That is what an investigation is needed to determine.

I'm okay with them investigating it.  If the order did come from the WH for political reasons, and somehow got a FISA court order to do so, that'd be a big problem.  I just don't think we're going to find out what you are hoping for.  

I also don't think Trump colluded with Russia to swing the election, but I do think there could be some shady dealings with some of the people Trump has associated himself with that might benefit from conforming policy to help them in that effort.  Most likely nothing illegal, which would not be what Democrats are hoping for.  I'm okay with that investigation too.  

No doubt Democrats are looking to take advantage of any potential scandal.  Republicans have done this with good success.  This is, unfortunately, modern day politics, but it is effective.

Well, I can't speak for others but I sure as hell don't mind both being investigated. I sincerely doubt this whole unmasking hoopla will amount to anything but I'm fine with an investigation because unlike conservatives, I'm not scared of what they'll find. My point is that conservatives these days are bashing the intelligence community for going after these shady ass Trump people and then quoting/citing the IC community when they think it suits them. I'm going to call it out for the hypocrisy it is. The difference between Trump and Clinton is that Clinton has already been extensively investigated for both Benghazi and the email scandal. Trump's investigation just started.

Suppose they do determine that Trump colluded with the Russians....then what?   It's not like Democrats haven't attempted to do such that in the past.   Should Trump be pushed and how for doing what the Democrats have previously done, including the lying?
