Some of these Congressmen didn't have Mother Russia's help getting elected, nor did they lose the popular vote. Maybe you should look in your own backyard, before you question the credibility of others-

Trusted by who? They were elected by their local constituents. American citizens who wanted to be represented by that person. Who are you to worry about whether they can be trusted? I don't trust Trump but so what? He's the President.

Wouldn't they be removed from office if they aided a foreign military?

Oh wait...

According to a post in another thread there is a "gang of eight" congresspersons who are trusted with this. They were not informed which I assume would be normal. I'm British and don't know the details of your system very well, but the normal rules seem to be brushed aside by this Presidency, which is not a terribly good precedent.

well, hold on now, McHill. One simple problem Trump had is that Shchiff is a proven leaker. You will recall Obama took out Osama, who was not as dangerous as Soloyami, without congressional approval. So, in this one sentence, you see two reasons why it was the best decision.....the way Trump handled it.

This congressman cannot, could not, be trusted. Throw us another one.

Read up, Deep. It is settled matter that the congress, who was not informed or asked for approval...(How do you think THAT would have gone!! 😆) did not have a requirement that the Donald ask them for approval, or even BE notilfied.

Move along from that.......it is settled.

I'm sure that a Congress that has opposed Trump on every issue and is trying to impeach him...........without sending it to the Senate, that is, would tell Trump to go ahead with the mission.

Meanwhile, they had literally a few minutes to act where they could actually get to him.

I note above that there are FIVE thumbs down on the first post. There are five libs on this thread at the moment! You all have been unmasked!!! Write these guys handles down so you will know who is blasting you.. Frankly, I find it rather pansy.

Clearly you cannot handle the truth. Our IT folks found the exact computers the Ruskies used and there are some 20 Russian agents under indictment and yes we know they won't be convicted because they were under orders to hack from Putin himself.
Putin hates Clinton and that is mainly why he meddled in 2016. He has had a hardon against her for decades.
