Majority of Americans Say Congress Should Probe Contact Between Trump, Russia: Poll
by Carrie Dann
About half of Americans believe that Congress should investigate whether Donald Trump's presidential campaign had contact with the Russian government in 2016, while only a quarter say that lawmakers should not probe the issue, according to a new NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll.
The new poll, conducted February 18-22, shows that 53 percent of the American public wants Congress to look into the alleged communications, while 25 percent disagree and 21 percent say they don't have an opinion.
A similar share — 54 percent — believe that Congress should look into Russian interference in the election generally, while 29 percent disagree.
The findings come as Trump's administration battles leaks from the intelligence community that have pointed at contacts between Trump allies and Russians, some with links to the Kremlin. On Friday, the administration pushed back on reports that the FBI refused a White House request to publicly deny news stories about the alleged communications.
The FBI and CIA also assessed last year that Russia intervened in the 2016 election in part to aid Trump's campaign.

well it's not a Special Prosecutor..I mean what is there to investigate that a Select Committee or either Intelligence Committee or the FBI ( all happening) can't do?
Oh shit Bill.
Now I'm going to have to watch the damn video and see what Gingrich is blathering on about..

Gingrich isn't the only one. Dubbya said something similar. Republican insiders know this isn't just some rumor of scandal, it's big and it isn't going to go away. Trump has been suckered by Putin and some of his top guys are flirting with possible treason charges. The Establishment wants to air out the stink now, before it leads to impeachment or a GOP wipeout in Congress.
PostmodernProphet
fully immersed in faith..
The only ones suckered by Putin are the Demmycrats....
I guess they are hoping it will just go away after a few tweets about fat X beauty queens or insulting some more prominent Americans.
Thus far the bs isn't working, & as the newt said it will only grow if they don't address it............
do you have any..any at all.. type of backup for your claims?
Quoting Dubya ( who is not a lawyer) on legal/Congress procedure is as bad as Gingrich.

If the obamakamikaze pilots buried in the IC had proof of ANYTHING that was against the law, don't you think they would be shouting it from the rooftops right now? But we'll be hearing about this crap and more until November 6th, 2019. The hook is set firmly in the lips of you leftards, and you're slowly being reeled in towards the boat. Newt wants this because he thinks it will shut you guys up. He is pretty naive. The same with Darrell Issa, although I understand he may have regained consciousness and is now backing off. And as for the great leftist unwashed, you guys just want the investigation scorecard to favor the obama regime when all the dust settles. Grow up. Ha! Just kidding!
If they had the fuckin proof already they wouldn't need a probeIf the obamakamikaze pilots buried in the IC had proof of ANYTHING that was against the law, don't you think they would be shouting it from the rooftops right now?

It needs to be cleared up, not swept under the rug as some would like....
You would think "real Americans" would be concerned about clearing this up...
Newt and the Bushes ARE the party hacks! You do understand Trump has no friends in Washington?
"drain the swamp"
I do believe Clapper and Brennan and the rest of the anti-Russian hysterics
( whom afterall "briefed 'Trump on fake new like the golden showers junk) are very good at crafting cagey language.
That's what they do.
Their conclusion about "Russian state actors" is also unsupported
except for the malware used ( common enough for eastern European hackers).
which "definately leads to Putin."
The whole thing is a house of cards -much speculation build on shaky evidence
In reality NOTHING is new since we found out about the Podesta/DNC hacking -
despite vague fake news scoops by WaPo

Oh, hi
Good, I hope they do. I suspect they will find it is all a bunch of democrat lies. But if true, we have a right to know.
Beware the IC..especially the leadership..they are neocons (Brennan), globalists,and anti-Russian hysterics
He didn't drain anything that I can tell.........
Anyway, now the swamp is him, his admin~funny how that works.........
Ohhhh, is Newt mad?
do you see John Bolton, Or Rudy, or Newt in government? Thank God -no neocons!He didn't drain anything that I can tell.........

He's not featherbedding his Cabinet he's picking EXCELLENCE. I mean you want skilled people in there-
and he's picking people from outside DC for the most part.
The one's from inside DC are there to roll back DC's influence-he's diffusing power to the states where possible
