US intelligence agencies investigated Russia treating the US like a third world country by attacking and interfering in a US Presidential election. One day, Russia may have to answer for that, but not under a Trump administration.

So do you believe we as a country, have never interfered in the election of another country?

Speaking of worn out, have you seen Trump in these daily press briefings lately reading out of a notebook in a monotone. It looks like they have him on tranquilizers. His doctors probably thought he was so angry about everything all the time that he might spontaneously combust.

His brother is quite sick and I would not doubt that is wearing on Trump.

It was all a setup by Putin and Russian intelligence to interfere in a US Presidential election and create division and suspicion among the citizens and electorate in the US; now quickly being "forgotten" because Trump and his administration are doing their best to ignore that fact and divert attention from it and right-wing media are in on it.

CT? I googled it and found that is the abbreviation for Connecticut and computerized tomography. I'm not doing too well with my googling today I guess.

It is like in Star Trek when Captain Kirk orders “shields up.” It seems at the time like a better course of action than letting the Klingons continue to pummel your ship with their phasers, irrespective of who has done what to whom in the past.

We have far more important stuff to worry about than the Russians. People are looting and pillaging our cities. No one seems to give a damn. Unless the Russian are behind that too.

Rod Rosenstein was appointed and confirmed as the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland on July 12, 2005 by George W Bush. He served in that position until April 26, 2017.

Trump appointed him to be United States Deputy Attorney General and he took that position on the same day he resigned as a US Attorney.

So how is he a holdover (or leftover) from the Obama administration?

Alan wings it sometimes. You have to double check his work.
