Trump intelligence nominee supports probes on Russian interference

“I have no intention of holding anything back from this committee,” Coats said.

He hasn't, but what about the others?

I question the appointment of Coats for this position. I think this is an error in judgment on Trump's part. This is one position where military and/or intelligence experience is vital. My reasons for not supporting President Trump are not due to the racism allegations or misogyny, but rather a lack of judgment in the manner in which he conducts himself and some of the decisions made.

I do applaud his pledge to support investigations into possible Russian interference.

“I have no intention of holding anything back from this committee,” Coats said.

Thank you. Prebius couldn't say the same without perjuring himself, i.e., lying for the alt-righters.

An independent prosecutor is needed to lead an investigation.

Otherwise, there will always be questions about the integrity of the investigation and the executive branch interfering.

Do the name "Trump" and the word "intelligence" even go together ?

Wait - didn't Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders directly quote the FBI as saying Russian ties were "BS"? (A highly technical term in law enforcement, to be sure):

The FBI has already said this story is BS. Those were their words, so I apologize to my mom. But literally those are the words of the FBI, that the story is BS.

And didn't spokesman Sean Spicer say,

A special prosecutor for what? (This has already) been investigated up and down. The reporting that I’m seeing in different organizations suggests that there is nothing new being reported. So the question becomes at some point what do you have to further investigate when nothing has come out?

And didn't Trump tweet:

Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!

If that is all the case, they have nothing to worry about, do the? Don't they? So why all the fuss?

The honeymoon between Trump and Putin is over, their sabres were rattling behind doors. As long as the probes proceed, US/Russia will going to be in a spiral of stabbings each other back that will drag in many countries.
