Is this Russian-Trump-Trump surrogates thing really going anywhere?

Or is it just a drip, drip, drip for media to get our attention away from what Trump and Congress are really doing? By now, if this were anywhere near the scandal first alleged, it would be all out in the open now. The Dossier would be printed for public consumption and hearing would be televised.

2. What hearings?

Do you think the Republicans are going to investigate themselves if they can avoid it?

Only hope we've got is if the media--the small portion that actually investigates--keeps doing so, and keeps dripping information for the blatherers to blather about. Then we might get some hearings, and after that, IF we are lucky and IF it is true, some action.

Fake a story that makes it look your candidacy and presidency was compromised by the Russians?

Say, that's a great way to improve our image with the people!

Also, the Dossier's been out, so....
