If this were about getting to the bottom of Russia's involvement in our election then Democrats would join me and many others in our demand that the EVIDENCE of their involvement is provided to the American public. If we are going to accuse a world superpower of an act of war then we DAMN WELL better be provided with INDISPUTABLE proof that they committed said act. No American doing their civic duty of being an informed citizen would give the government their consent to any retaliatory action against Russia on the WORD of the INTEL community alone. Alphabet agencies have a LONG track record of misleading the public deliberately to reach their own gains and this scenario appears to be no different. There is nothing more important than finding the truth here, but the truth may not involve Russia at all. The onus is on those accusing Russia of wrongdoing to prove it, without evidence we are repeating the mistakes of the Iraq war on a much larger scale.

If this were about the integrity of the election Trump's suggestion of an investigation into voter fraud would not have been met with such vitriol. Instead, he was asked to PROVIDE EVIDENCE of voter fraud. Ironic, no? Besides, if we want to ensure a more secure voting process why don't we simply push for a return to paper ballots? We would never have to worry about election hacking from Russia or any other country ever again.

If this investigation were about rooting out government corruption the focus would have moved away from Donald Trump long ago. We are trying to find out who did what illegally and if it involves Russia (again, I think this is the point, who really knows as Russia conspiracy theorists have become so unhinged) and Comey himself reinforced the point today that Trump has never been the target or focus of any investigation into Russian collusion. If this were really about the truth, Democrats would be looking into the question of WHO and leave the president out of it. If Trump had any involvement he would be implicated in some way by now and again Comey confirmed TODAY that he has not been.

If this investigation were about upholding the law then the Left would be livid with Comey’s double standards. He announced Hillary was cleared in a press conference on July 5th, but never offered President Trump the same courtesy. Instead, he allowed the American people to be deliberately misled by news organizations that use their ‘credibility’ and name recognition to push inflammatory, sensationalized and often times completely false headlines into the public consciousness in an attempt (to this point successfully) to curb and dissuade support for the sitting president. This new age of yellow journalistic McCarthyism borders on treason and is an affront to rational Americans who want PROGRESS and CHANGE from their elected leaders in Washington D.C.
