Former CIA Director John Brennan toldÿthe House intelligence committee Tuesday that Russia "brazenly interfered" in US elections, including actively contacting members of President Trump's campaign[1] -- but he stopped shy of dubbing it "collusion."

"I saw interaction that in my mind raised questions of whether it was collusion," Brennan told Rep. Trey Gowdy, saying that he supported the FBI digging further. "It was necessary to pull threads."

Brennan was asked about how Moscow recruits sources "wittingly and unwittingly."

"Frequently, people who go along a treasonous path do not know they are on a treasonous path until it is too late," he said.

Brennan cautioned lawmakers that although he could not definitively say if those contacts amounted to "collusion," he knew that Russians were actively cultivating US contacts and, very likely, did not present themselves as Russian spies.

Brennan also said President Trump might have broken protocol if he revealed highly classified information with the Russian foreign minister and Russian ambassador to the US in a White House meeting earlier this month.

They are just catching up, but won't spend much time on it, I am certain.
They need to get back to spinning the country back to the way they want it.

I am a little surprised that all of these "journalist" cannot put 2 and 2 together... if we become socialist, like they seem to want, freedom of the press is often one of the first things that goes by the wayside in countries that do that.

Maybe if I just waited a little bit, I would have seen the reports.

I will agree with you: if they continue to desire or push for a socialist or communistic country and if we get it, they WILL loose the freedom of the press and WILL have to report with whatever the government wants them to report.

Ignorant of it, or just don't care? That's been my question lately.

I agree, oligarchy seems to be the new 'ism' in today's society. Exactly what's happening in Russia right now. No one here wants that type of government, at least I don't, but look around you, who's really pulling the strings of government. In a way, certain socialistic programs will take control away from those who have a financial stranglehold on both you and I.

On the other hand, both countries you listed as examples... Canada and Australia... they may have some socialized programs, but they have
market economies like ours. They are not really socialist countries.

I agree not please tell me where I said I wanted the US to become a totally socialistic nation?

Sounds like I am not the one who needs a civics lesson.

we go that route we will not be. Wanting us to be socialist is not at

I see, yet you sit back and rely on socialistic programs everyday. From the preamble of the US Constitution...

'We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of ...'

Now tell me, what does 'promote the general welfare' mean to you? As a matter of fact, I can show you at least two of the above prerequsites have been swallowed whole by the new empending style of government just voted in. Sessions wants do to away with Justice and the latest Trumpcare wants to do away with 'general welfare' by leaving 23 million Americans without healthcare and who knows how many will be priced out of it. There in a nutshell is your oligarchy at work. SS is solvent and is completely funded by the American workforce. Tell me, why is there even a discussion about it being a drain on the budget? Answer, congress has borrowed $2.3 trillion from it and it's their way of sidestepping the repayment. Medicare as well is completely funded by the American workforce. I agree, Medicaid is a different beast but there is a real easy way of getting rid of that totally but it has to do with single payer and I'm sure you think that's too socialistic for your tastes. That's ok... let's just give the top 1% another $800 billion tax break... screw the 'general welfare' that you so eloquently stated our Forefathers had wrote.

I see, so tell me, would you do any one of the following:

Call the police if your personal safety was threatened.
Call the fire department if your home was on fire?

Shall I continue?

The list can go on and on... but in the true spirit of 'libertarianism', if you've done any of the above you've defined yourself as a hypocrite.

The news is the news. If you just sit on one side of the fence and suck it all up as gospel, then you're a moron. It's up to each individual to find the truth. I sympathize with you in this regard.... as 'news' has become a $ maker rather than a source of honesty without the financial reward.

I do believe Trump talks too much. I also believe that our other real choice this last time round was just as likely to be headed to the
Federal Pen... maybe the ladies one in Lexington, but a Fed Pen nonetheless.

I didn't vote for Hillary either. I voted for the Democratic party's platform. Why, are my reasons but I did have an advantage. I was born and raised in the NY area and I knew exactly what kind of man Trump was and is continuing to be along with the GOP platform of screwing the common man.

Waiting for your "fake press" like excuse there... sure you have one,
too. Saint Hillary was no where near as bad... yeah, yeah, whatever...

Don't have to, Trump is proving that all by himself. Hey, remember Carrier, all those thousands of jobs he saved (was actually 740)... guess where they're going before Christmas. Better start singing Felix Navidad. Amazing how the citizens of Indiana paid United Technologies/Carrier $7 million in tax breaks to help pay for the automation used to toss those workers to the street.

Then he insults German auto manufacturers when all three of them have mfg plants here in the US.. with BMW having 8,000+ US workers.

He was so worried about emails yet he just spewed highly classified information to the Russians because he was 'bragging". Shall we talk about the discussion of military assets, aka nuclear submarines, positioning to a two bit dictator in the Philippines who he admires because he shoots his citizens possibly linked to drugs? Guess due process is next on the agenda here with Sessions in charge. Oh wait, he already did away with that giving law enforcement carte blanche power. How much interest does Sessions have in privately run prisons? Shall we talk about his willful defience to the emolument clause?

It's funny, all the same nonsense came out of the Nixon administration when Watergate was happening. Funny how history always seems to repeat itself. This is a lot deeper that you realize. So deep, Sen. Hatch may want to think about getting his business cards ordered now.

I have no issue with you being a liberatarian but there needs to be some resemblence of a centralized government to guide 340 million people. If not, then what is going to happen to all those red states, you know the ones that receive more $ in federal aide than they send in? How long would they survive? Face it, trickle down economics doesn't work. Do I feel the last administration solved the issues in 2008 properly.. not at all. If a bailout was to be made, then give it to those who owed the $ to these institutions to pay off their morgages. Either way, the money made it to the top and the economy would have been truely stimulated. Today, simply giving a tax break to the top 2% is not going to stimulate but further choke blue collar workers as it has already been proven under Reagan's plan.

Enjoy your day...

Hmmm I remember that Russian officials also had contact with Hillary's Campaign, and what about Hillary selling 20% of American Uranium to Russia and Bill Clinton making vast amounts of money for speeches he gave in Russia?
Was any of that collusion?

"I saw interaction that in my mind raised questions of whether it was collusion," Brennan told Rep. Trey Gowdy, saying that he supported the FBI digging further. "It was necessary to pull threads."

If the FBI digs further in the Trump campaign's involvment with Russian officials they need to also dig into Hillary's Involvement.

Yeah, really... they certainly are not resorting to capitalism because socialism worked so well for them. Granted, I think you have more aptly labeled Russia below...

I agree, oligarchy seems to be the new 'ism' in today's society. Exactly what's
happening in Russia right now. No one here wants that type of government, at >least I don't, but look around you, who's really pulling the strings of >government. In a way, certain socialistic programs will take control away from >those who have a financial stranglehold on both you and I.

One of the definitions of socialism is a society where you get out of it what you put into it... the more you put in, the better off you are. That is not the type of socialism anyone here has ever tried to push for. They want the kind where the people who put in the most (the folks in the middle) get squeezed the most to try to pull up those that (1) are honestly having
trouble, or (2) never ever put forth any effort, until everyone is equal.

"Make-believe" equality is what they want.

Oh, yeah, so long as they... the ruling class of politiicans and their rich doners... stay above it all.

I agree not please tell me where I said I wanted the US to become a totally socialistic nation?

I am pretty certain you did not. IIRC, this conversation started because I insinuated that there are those among us who would and that it is their
view that is usually presented to us through the US media. I wondered why
they in the media seem to want to bend us all towards that way of thinking
when freedom of the press would be one of the first things to go.

I am pretty certain, from all your posts, that you don't think that way.
You seem to want to see some thing socialized while we remain a free-market society. I think Bernie Sanders might agree with you. I feel like the
media and, based on their treatment of Bernie, the Democratic Pary would not.

If I didn't point out your non understanding between the difference of communism, socialism and fascism, you'd still be in the dark.

I know the difference at least as well, if not better, than you seem to. Their leadership all still act the same. Historically speaking, their motivations
may sound different, but they ALL trample rights, and they all contain the seeds of their own failure. They ALL treat the press the same... "be our mouthpiece or lose your freedom (and maybe your life)."

The rest of your post seems to be dedicated to asking why I use things that
I pay taxes for. Because I pay for them would be the answer. I don't intentionally pay for people, who have rarely or ever been productive, to sit at home on their asses, but that is what damn near every Democratic Party politician wants out of my tax money. They have found a way to legally BUY VOTES with my money by giving all sorts of things to people who NEVER pay
in.

It is the government's job to protect the population, with things like policemen and firemen, and to provide for our infrastructure, via roads, bridges, and highways. It is NOT their job to be our parent, to be our nanny, to save us from our own stupidity, to redistribute wealth, or to try to make
us all "equal" by giving the exceptional no incentive to be productive.

You can bend the words of the Constitution all you want, but no where does
it provide for any of that.

I decided a long time ago that if I had to decide between the "freedom" to own an assault rifle or the "freedom" to not die of treatable diseases because I'm too poor to have health insurance, I'd choose health insurance.

If that makes me a Marxist, ok. Just about every country in Europe is MORE socialist than we are, and have higher qualities of life. I think you're mistaken, and the USSR and China are exceptions. Now that Mao is long dead, China is even rapidly improving. These aren't failures of socialism, they're failures of totalitarianism. Mussolini wasn't a big fan of Communism either, but I'm sure he turned out ok, right?
