This cold war rhetoric and attempt to connect Trump with Putin by Democrats
is insane and dangerous. One would think he's provided enough negatives to
use against him on his own, without this kind of slander and filth being
spread.

Congressional Democrats Call on FBI to Investigate Their Political
Adversaries' Kremlin Ties
By Glenn Greenwald, The Intercept

Leading House Democrats on Tuesday sent a letter to FBI Director James
Comey, which they promptly published, asking the agency to investigate
whether the Trump campaign and the Russian government have entered into a
joint plot "to interfere with the U.S. presidential election." Although the
House Democrats say they do not know whether such a conspiracy with Moscow
exists, they say that "serious questions have been raised" - specifically
about whether Trump supporters worked in tandem with Kremlin agents to hack
Democratic Party computer systems, and "about overt and covert actions by
Trump campaign officials on behalf of Russian interests."
As grounds for their suspicions, these top Democrats cite certain
associations between Trump advisers and various Russians, suspicious visits
by them to Moscow, and statements Trump supporters made that are critical of
the United States of America or advocate better relations with Moscow. These
statements and policy views, these top Democrats suggest, demonstrate
possible disloyalty to the United States, which should be investigated.
For instance, "one of Donald Trump's foreign policy advisers, Carter Page,
traveled to Moscow to give a speech that was harshly critical of the United
States and its 'hypocritical focus on ideas such as democratization,
inequality, corruption, and regime change.'" The top Democrats also note
that another Trump adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, "traveled to
Moscow in December 2015 and joined Vladimir Putin at the head table during a
dinner honoring the Kremlin-backed media network RT," and then "gave a
speech that was highly critical of the United States" (the House Democrats
do not mention that Gen. Flynn was appointed by President Obama in 2012 to
head the Defense Intelligence Agency, and they are cryptic about whether
they believe the general is a full-scale Russian operative or merely an
unwitting Useful Idiot).
This letter was clearly part of a coordinated plan by Democrats to call for
an FBI investigation into their domestic political adversaries for possible
Russia links. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid sent a similar letter to
Comey yesterday asking him to investigate "evidence of a direct connection
between the Russian government and Donald Trump's presidential campaign."
Reid explicitly harkened back to the era of American politics when this type
of rhetoric was common, saying that "the prospect of a hostile government
[Russia] seeking to undermine our free and fair elections represents one of
the gravest threats to our democracy since the Cold War."
The calls by congressional Democrats for an FBI investigation into possible
Moscow-engineered subversiveness on American soil come as various Clinton
supporters are calling for increased confrontation with Russia. President
Obama's former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul yesterday said "the Obama
administration will need to respond" if Russians were involved in hacking
state election centers, while the managing editor of a popular liberal blog
announced that once the election is over, "let's kick some ass on that
front" - meaning Russia. Meanwhile, Democratic pundits are increasingly
signaling to Americans that they should distrust the legitimacy and
reliability of their democratic elections if Hillary loses because it will
likely mean that Putin manipulated the votes by hacking to help Trump.
While possible Kremlin allegiances on American soil are certainly a major
source of concern - that goes without saying for all Patriotic Americans -
it's unclear why congressional Democrats are seemingly abdicating their
solemn duties by failing to conduct their own investigation. It's true that
the FBI has an extensive and well-known history of conducting aggressive
investigations into suspicions that American citizens are covertly working
in tandem with Moscow (indeed, the longtime director after whom the FBI's
headquarters is named pioneered many new investigative techniques in the
course of doing so, and when publishing their letter, these leading House
Democrats notably featured a picture showing his honored name on the front
of the FBI building).
But the U.S. Congress also has its own tradition of investigating
un-American activities on the part of U.S. citizens. It's mystifying, and
more than a little disturbing (perhaps itself a bit suspicious), why these
leading congressional Democrats would not avail themselves of this
investigative template in order to uncover the latest domestic plots led by
the Russians as a means of subverting American democracy.
