    Sen. Ben Cardin , ranking Democrat on the foreign relations committee.

    Yep. sounds like collusion with the Russians to me. Trump may have given the orders from the 27th hole.
    Typical of Cons to claim credit for the Dem's economic turnaround. Bush flushed the economy down the toilet and Obama salvaged it.

    And it's about freaking time Trump did anything right regarding Russia after kissing-up to them all along. And I also wouldn't be the least bit surprised it it turns it was orchestrated by Trump and Putin to try to give the puppet a veneer of credibility.

      I could list indictments/scandals of lower-level Con officials all day long too. Was expecting you to list indictments of your favorite Dem boogeymen... you know like Clinton, Holder,, etc. ... but you got nothing I see. Too bad you did all that Googling for nothing. Just shows how desperate you are.
      ' All that googling " ??
      Not much effort at all. The fix was in, you very well know why no Dems have been called on the carpet. Forget about these issues?




      1.) IRS Targeting Scandal

      In 2013, Lois Lerner, former director of the IRS Exempt Organizations division, admitted that officials in the IRS’ Cincinnati office acted improperly.

      The move was meant to preempt the release of a Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, which found a sustained targeting of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.

      Lerner asserted her innocence in the matter before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, then invoked her Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination to avoid cross-examination of her claims. The House voted to find her in contempt of Congress.

      Justice Department prosecutor Barbara Bosserman, who had donated $6,750 to Obama’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee from 2004 to 2012, investigated the matter and declined to bring up charges.

      House investigators did not find a direct link from the White House to the IRS scandal.

      The Justice Department was aware of the matter two years before Congress and took no action, according to documents obtained by the government watchdog group Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act.

      2.) VA Waiting List

      The Department of Veterans Affairs inspector general first noted the waiting list problem at a Phoenix clinic in 2014 and then found other clinics with similar problems. Veterans were placed on phony waiting lists, and some even died while waiting for care. VA Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned from his position.

      Last year, in another follow-up report, the inspector general found about 800,000 records and applications delayed in the VA system, and more than 300,000 might have died.

      Earlier this month, another inspector general report found that at the Phoenix clinic, where the controversy was first discovered, another 200 veterans died while waiting for care on the waiting list and at least one could have been saved had he received proper care on a timelier basis.

      Both Republicans and Democrats expressed outrage over the matter.

      3.) GSA Spending Spree

      In 2012, Martha N. Johnson, the administrator of the General Services Administration, resigned after the federal procurement agency was engulfed in a controversy. The department was accused of allowing excessive spending on travel and conferences for the agency and employees.

      Johnson admitted in her resignation letter that “taxpayer dollars were squandered.”

      Some of the spending included a Las Vegas trip where employees had a $31,000 reception that included a clown mind reader.

      The organizer of the event, GSA regional commissioner Jeffrey Neely, was photographed in a Las Vegas hotel bathtub with a wine glass. Neely was indicted on three counts of making false claims, one count of using false documents, and one count of making false statements. He was later sentenced to three months in prison.

      4.) Attack on the Benghazi Compound

      On Sept. 11, 2012, weeks before a presidential election, terrorists attacked U.S. government facilities in Benghazi, Libya. Obama administration officials initially blamed this attack on a spontaneous protest against an anti-Muslim YouTube video that spun out of control.

      Late that night, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released a statement that said: “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the internet.”

      The following weekend, then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice went on several Sunday morning news programs to blame the video for provoking the attack.

      However, the administration eventually conceded the incident was a terrorist attack. Obama had been campaigning on having decimated al-Qaeda and killing Osama bin Laden. So a terrorist attack interfered with the campaign narrative that the event was sparked by a protest.

      Before a Senate panel in January 2013, Clinton famously said, “What difference at this point does it make,” whether the attack was prompted by a terrorist or an out-of-control protest.

      In 2014, then-House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, named a House select committee to investigate the Benghazi incident. The committee issued its final report in July, which found no conclusive cover up by the administration.

      5.) Clinton Emails

      It was the Benghazi committee that first discovered that before, during, and after her time as secretary of state, Clinton maintained a private email server. This prompted the FBI to investigate questions of whether Clinton violated the law in terms of storing classified information.

      In July, FBI Director James Comey announced the investigation was completed and concluded that Clinton and her staff had been “extremely careless.” However, he determined that there was no intent to put classified national security information in danger and would not warrant prosecution.

      During her testimony, Clinton told the House Benghazi committee, “There was nothing marked classified on my emails, either sent or received.”

      House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said he would ask the FBI to investigate whether Clinton lied to Congress.

      6.) Fast and Furious Gun Walking

      Operation Fast and Furious was a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives program, meant to be a sting operation. It allowed about 2,000 guns to flow to Mexican drug trafficking organizations under federal supervision before authorities lost control of the guns.

      Fast and Furious began in the fall of 2009 and was halted in December 2010 after two of the guns from the operation were found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in Arizona.

      After more than a year of the Justice Department failing to provide documents to the House Oversight Committee, 17 House Democrats joined nearly all House Republicans to find Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.

      In June, documents showed that 69 people were killed by lost guns the ATF allowed to flow into the country, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch.

      7.) Solyndra Subsidies

      The Energy Department provided a $535 million loan guarantee to the politically connected solar panel firm Solyndra as part of the 2009 stimulus bill. Not long after building its factory, the California firm filed for bankruptcy protection and an FBI investigation ensued. The company did not find a buyer and eventually closed down.

      Subsequent other subsidized green energy companies also collapsed.

      8.) DOJ and the New Black Panther Party

      On Election Day 2008, hours before Obama was first elected, two members of the New Black Panther Party stood outside the door of a polling place in Philadelphia in paramilitary outfits. One of the men was carrying a nightstick. The two men were caught on video seemingly intimidating voters.

      While George W. Bush was still president, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party, which the liberal Southern Poverty Law Center classifies as a hate group. However, by May of 2009, the Obama administration’s Department of Justice and Holder, then-attorney general, dropped the case.

      9.) A Job for Sestak

      In 2010, Rep. Joe Sestak, who was challenging Sen. Arlen Specter in a Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary, said that the Obama administration had offered him a job to dissuade him from entering the race.

      Obama had endorsed Specter, who had recently switched allegiance from the Republican to the Democrat Party during the early months of Obama’s presidency. The White House did not answer questions on the matter for several months.

      Issa, then-ranking member of the House oversight panel, suggested such an offer could be illegal. Specter also pressed Sestak to answer more questions about the alleged offer.

      After Sestak defeated Specter for the nomination, White House counsel Robert Bauer released a memo asserting that nothing improper occurred and that Obama’s offer was to serve on an unpaid presidential advisory board that would allow him to continue to serve in the House.

        Boring Bore-us. Anybody can go to a wingnut website and copy/paste their ****t.
        That's a cop-out.

        You keep bitching and moaning about all the nefarious things that Clinton, Comey, Mueller, et al. have been doing and yet you can't provide a single shred of evidence ... let alone indictments. Cons control the government so indictments should be easy to come by. Whatsa matter?

        btw, you forgot to list the Clinton Body Count. lol

          And I could but won't list all the scandals of the Bush administration because it would crash the talking-soccer server. The list of Trumps scandals will eventually make Bush's look saintly.

            We have been through this before. The economy tanked because of pressure from Progressives to give mortgages to people that couldn't afford them. Bill Clinton's fingerprints were all over it. Add to the shenanigans by Clinton and Obama buddies like ...

            Former Fannie Mae chief Franklin Raines and two other top executives have agreed to a $31.4 million settlement with the government announced today over their roles in a 2004 accounting scandal.

            Raines, former Fannie chief financial officer Timothy Howard and former controller Leanne Spencer were accused in a civil lawsuit in December 2006 with manipulating earnings over a six-year period at the company, the largest U.S. financer and guarantor of home mortgages.


            Raines, a Seattle native and prominent Washington figure who was President Clinton’s budget director, is relinquishing company stock options, proceeds from stock sales and other benefits. His part of the settlement is worth $24.7 million,

            From your friends @ CNN


            In the space of a week, the Trump administration has named Russia a "rival power," sanctioned a close Putin ally, and decided to give Ukraine anti-tank weapons to help in its fight against Moscow-backed militias.

            It's a series of steps that has been paired with tougher rhetoric from the State Department about Moscow's destabilizing activities in eastern Ukraine, and serious charges from the Pentagon that Russia is intentionally violating de-confliction agreements in Syria.

            The slew of actions highlights a decided turn away from the warmer, more cooperative relationship with Russia that President Donald Trump called for during his campaign and early in his presidency.

                  We're a year in, and it's looking like we've settled on a Russia policy and that Russia policy is pretty confrontational," said Matt Rojansky, director of the Kennan Institute at the Wilson Center. "It's definitely not the policy you would have expected from Trump the candidate. I think even the Russians understand the idea of a rapprochement is off the table."


                  Yep, sure looks like payback for him getting elected.

                      Trump is desperate and will do anything to make it look like he's not Putin's puppet. Putin knows the bind Trump is in and has probably signed-off on it.

                          President Donald Trump is "oblivious" to the "dangers" Russia poses in Ukraine and the recent approval of a limited lethal arms sale to Kiev will do little to impact the ongoing, bloody conflict in the eastern part of the country, according to former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst.

                          "The president, by and large, has been oblivious to the dangers Russian policy presents. He’s not seen this as a challenge. Truly, it’s strategic near-sightedness, to put it lightly," Herbst, who served as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2003 to 2006, told Newsweek.

                          Herbst, currently director of the Atlantic Council's Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center, described the Trump administration's recent approval of a limited lethal arms sale to Ukraine as a "positive step forward" and "it’s a message to Moscow that Washington’s support for Ukraine is growing." But, and the end of the day, Herbst said it's also more "symbolic" than substantive.

                          more symbolic than substantive...exactly the kind of thing Putin would sign off on to give his puppet a veneer
