You also have to look at the larger picture. Everyone else on his team involved with Russia in some shady gatherings, tilelrson, trumps tax returns, hacked election, trumps refusal to speak poorly about Putin.

At what point do you call a spade a spade

I think there are some legit concerns there that certainly should be investigated. I think some of those things are less important and fall more into the "conspiracy theory" category than anything else. There are several examples of shady interactions on both sides of the isle as well, both amongst members of congress, former presidential candidates, and even the last president. My guess strat, is that you were far less inclined to worry about any of the people you align with politically. And you are entitled to you opinions and approach. I just find it to be extremely hypocritical when partisan bullshit is more important to Americans than the truth. That's really all I care about. I don't want to be lied to. I don't want elected officials blatantly misleading their constituents. Give me honesty or gtfo. And if it is discovered that these people (right or left) have compromised American intelligence, sold information, etc., they should lose their job. It's pretty simple: have integrity, put American interests first, be transparent. If you can't do these things while also doing your job, gtfo.

"This was a mission that was started before I got here. This was something that was, you know, just they wanted to do. They came to see me. They explained what they wanted to do, the generals, who are very respected," he said. "My generals are the most respected that we've had in many decades I believe. And they lost Ryan."

He point blank told Al Franken he did not talk to Russia.

We'll see how it plays out, and what the actual facts are. And I think this kind of stuff happens all of the time on both sides of the isle, and I think the vast majority of these politicians are crooked as hell.
