FBI Director James Comey confirmed Monday the FBI is investigating Russia’s meddling in the presidential election, including possible links between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

Watching the Congressional Hearing is about as cringe-worthy as every other public Congressional hearing.

Republicans are praising the FBI for not saying much and are trying the "But Obama!" lines.

Democrats are making public statements they hope will get into news articles and throwing a question mark at the end to make them look like questions.

This needs an independent prosecutor very, very badly.

No one cares.

If there is already a probe, maybe we should wait until that is done before salivating like a retard after a piece of candy and begging for a special prosecutor.

In before "I once worked in the independent prosecutor's office and have multiple years of experience.. so I know when it's needed" story.

Shouldn't we wait until there is actual evidence via an investigation before we start prosecuting President Trump for something that is probably a Democrat's fabricated story to explain how Hillary could have possibly lost?

Prosecutor probably wasn't the word I should've used.

There's clearly enough evidence for an investigation- several of them in fact. All of them with enough political entanglements to be suspect in the eyes of the public.

The point of an independent/special prosecutor is to do the investigating in a way that the American public feel is credible. And you need them to be a Prosecutor so they both have the authority to recommend charges if applicable and have expertise people can trust if they recommend against charges.

You don't bring them in after charges are recommended.

You don't need evidence for an investigation. Investigations exist to gather evidence. The first step of an investigation is to determine what crime, if any, has been committed.

But if the FBI says no laws were broken then that's the end of it. This seems like the fastest way to ensure no laws were broken.
