I'm pretty sure if Trump goes, Pence goes. We are looking at President Ryan
LOL why. Nothing will come of this. Trump will be president. The ACA will still be repealed.
Of course he will. Stuff like this takes time.

To be disappointed you have to at least have expectations of justice.

Quite a few Republicans were OK with Hillary getting elected (which may surprise some of y'all) so it's not completely unsurprising if this investigation's results have an impact. And the moderates out there would most likely pursue Pence or Ryan if they can get that far.

They'll investigate it for a week just to shut the Democrats up and then say "We found nothing substantial, move on".
People need to get it through their heads that nothing will come of this.
Now maybe if the Dems had control of the house and senate I would get my hopes up.

Everyone connected to Trump would be fucked. So President Ryan sadly makes sense. He got his wish to be president.

It's easier to ignore existing evidence that is not officially released to the public than it is to plant evidence against somebody.

Possible....?
Thank you. Things happen and this is a big deal potentially leading to the biggest scandal in American history
Half the team is democrats, who you can very much bet want to find something on him. It's not going to go like this
The big thing this does is open up subpoena power to get these guys under oath and (possibly) make other things public like financials and tax documents. It could open up the ability for both the public and Congress to gain more insight into wtf is going on, which could end up revealing much more than we currently know.

You shouldnt be able to say disappointing shit like this unless you have a source. I'm gonna call this committee and tell them not to bother looking into this because jfkgoblue says so.

I am unaware of a single Republican in the Senate that isn't going to suck Trump's cock and ask for seconds.
I think there are a lot of R's that voted for him simply because of the R by his name. If they had a choice they would have gone with a dozen other people from their party other than Trump.

Then again it seems hypocritical to call "lock him up" even though nothing's been substantiated yet
That said, let's please do our best to lock him the fuck up

oh boy, the senate is famous for doing a great job at whatever they do!
They ain't been on "refresh" mode. To their credit, things have been unfolding pretty damn quickly. It's dense, too.
Ryan falling all the way up to POTUS would be kind of hilarious.
And probably better than both Trump and Pence.

Same here. I really want this to bother the shit out of him, and since it already has, anything else is extra.
What? The burden of proof is not on the accused. Not saying that there is no point in conducting this investigation. I'm just saying that anyone who gets there hopes up is setting themselves up for disappointment.

Luckily this committee is bipartisan.
I'm not too well-versed in American politics. Why exactly does the article rule out that the Senate is going to clear Trump? Because Democrats are involved as well as the committee is bipartisan?

Time to find out just how much stamina Trump has?
Agreed.
Not saying that I think Trump is for sure gone, but I'm glad that this will at least be investigated. It certainly warrants a formal inquiry.
Yeah, The cancellation has a lot of people cautious about the future of Platinum. I'm hoping they pull through and fully recover.

Could members of the Senate also be compromised?

If he really is clean then that is how it will go. If he isn't do you really think the GOP wouldn't toss his ass overboard to get Pence or their boy Ryan in there?
The committee is bipartisan. Similar committees were convened again and again to bury Hillary and always managed to come up short because they do actually attempt to be objective.
And it's not like this will be the only investigation. All of the intelligence agencies, hundreds of reporters and many foreign governments are all going to look into this.

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
At least show some effort to read before commenting, The Senate Intelligence Committee is half Democrat / half Republican.
Like every committee, it has the same R/D ratio as the full senate.
(8 Republicans, 7 Democrats on this paticular committee)

You really think a politician wouldn't want to have 'laid the President the fuck out' on their resume
Eh , something might come of this.
They can still fuck shit up with pence as president, they just have to worry about less shit.

This needed to happen, so I'm glad that its progressing.
We don't know whats possible to prove or not, or just what the intelligence community has found, if anything.
Its got to be something though, in order to have US intel warning Israeli intelligence not to confide secrets with the Trump administration, even after inauguration.

A few days ago they didn't even want to do an investigation.
House and Senate got a classified briefing and something changed.

Doh didn't count those two.
Also the Democratic side has Joe Manchin (West Virginia) who is....kinda democratic. Lots of speculation about him switching parties but he decided not to.
