FBI/INTELLIGENCE/POLITICS/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Congressman Ted Lieu called for a ‘total and complete shutdown’ of any of President Donald Trump’s agenda in response to reports that Trump associates may have coordinated with Russians during the campaign.
The California Democrat issued a fiery statement on Thursday [3-23-17] in response to the allegations, arguing that Trump’s presidency may be illegitimate and that his policies cannot be pursued until after an independent investigation assesses the claims.
‘Congress cannot continue regular order and must stop voting on any Trump-backed agenda item until the FBI completes its Trump-Russia collusion investigation, Lieu said in the statement…
On Wednesday, the top ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said in an interview that the evidence against Trump’s team was more than circumstantial in nature.
‘I can’t go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now,’ Rep. Adam Schiff said in an interview with MSNBC.
On Thursday, Schiff’s Republican counterpart, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, revealed publicly and to the president that communications of Trump and his associates may have been captured by intelligence agencies conducting surveillance of foreign targets.”
