Three U.S. House of Representatives committees said on Monday they had begun “a wide-ranging investigation” into reports that President Donald Trump, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani and possibly others pressured Ukraine’s government to assist Trump’s re-election campaign. The Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees wrote to the White House and State Department seeking records related to what they described as efforts to “manipulate the Ukrainian justice system,” Reuters said.

    • Kind of funny though, the same people that hired an ex-British spy to try and conjure up dirt on Trump in Russia are now saying there is nothing to see when Biden’s son is on the board of a gas company accused of corruption in Ukraine.

      • Trump could have fucked Putin, and we would have dropped most charges, but he didn’t. He still opposes his Congress and Senate. No good!

      • By all means investigate the shit out of Biden Jr. But Christopher Steele is a Cambridge graduate with an exemplary career in MI6; an organization not known to employ idiots. His post MI6 record is also very impressive, as is his knowledge about the putler regime. John McCain believed the trump dossier was accurate, as do many senior Feds, who are still investigating. Also see the evidence of a KGB general who defected : Oleg Kalugin. He categorically states that trump was first compromised back in 1987 on a visit to Leningrad (as it was then known) and that putler does indeed have loads of chick-related compromat on the orange one. There is literally no other explanation for the embarrassing, highly consistent and absurd groveling that Trumpkov has indulged in with putler and the constant undermining and belittling of Ukraine. Then you have to look at the ‘Yuge’ list of Trumpkov associates who are putler shills, up to and including Giuliani, who is also a close friend of the kremlin’s top US propagandist Michael Savage.

        • I’m sure Mueller and his minions of Democrat donors used their $25 million to look at everything over 2 years and came up with nothing. If the MI6 guy was so wonderful, why did he go to that bastion of honesty and purity, Russia, looking for compromat? Answer: politics and foreign interference.

          • They did not come up with nothing redders. Manafort and Flynn have confessed to various serious crimes. Trump has been cleared of collusion. He will never be cleared of hiring a whole swarm of putinoid scum because that is precisely what he did. I would remind you that Manafort is almost as guilty as putler for the death and misery inflicted upon Ukraine. Trump is guilty also of defending the invasion of Crimea and STILL having vile putlerite friends such as Giuliani, Savage, Alex Jones and many others. Trumpkov is scum, but I would still prefer to have the GOP in power because the Dems have gone nuts, would be dangerous for the world and would be better suited to run Cuba.
            Steele is an enemy of putlerstan, not a colluder. He has a history of getting useful info from reliable sources. See his CV. McCain was no fool; do you really think he would give house room to a putinoid? I would trust McCain’s word over Trump’s any time.
