If Russia attacked our election system, why are we investigating the investigators?

Did we not want the investigators to investigate the attack upon our democracy?

Did we not want them to investigate any Americans involved or colluding with the Russians, wittingly or unwittingly? People like Paul Manafort.

What were the other options?

It all seems so subterranean. Are they saying that the investigators should not have done their job and now should be investigated themselves? What kind of distraction of reality is that?

Unless, of course, they do not believe our election system was attacked by the Russians in the election of 2016? Then, they would believe that it was a "hoax" or a "witch hunt", just as Donald says?

All of our intelligence agencies say that we were attacked. Vladimir Putin denies it. Donald Trump believes Vladimir Putin. Who do they believe?

Why else would we need investigators to investigate the investigators??

It seems like a "hoax"? "We" vs "Them"?

It seems planned to delay any case before the Courts until after the next election. It's a criminal plan in full display. Obstruction in technicolor.

It would be a shame if the Democrats interrupted Trump Party plans with an impeachment proceeding. If there is one thing that Donald Trump knows, it is, how to keep the court system busy.

Perhaps we should get the IG (Inspector General) to investigate the matter?

Then we would have an Investigator investigating the investigators that are investigating the initial investigators?

the FISA Process so they can uncover deep agents and methods in russia. It's not about FISA, its how the secret courts gather their info overseas, to uncover our apparatus and methods of collection.

until someone can convincingly report that it was all a setup to get him impeached
.
If it takes 100 investigations to get just one in his favor, he will do it. Besides Dipshit doesn't have to pay for it, our tax dollars do.

So now, they want payback for being investigated?

Over 200 meetings with the Russians by this Administration.
