Apparently the so-called “Russia Investigation” has become a fishing trip into Mr. Trump’s past. Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party supposedly initiated the investigation to investigate Russian email hacking and its threat to U.S. national security, at taxpayer expense. The only Russian hacking revealed was to Hillary’s personal email account and the Democratic Party’s computers. This was due mostly to their utter disregard for necessary security measures.

While the disclosures made about the questionable and illegal activities of some of Mr. Trump’s former associates is revealing, it hardly affects U.S. national security. Could this be why Mr. Trump fired them? This fishing trip has gone on long enough at taxpayer expense; it is time to end it. If Hillary and the Democratic Party want to continue this investigation, let them pay for it!!

The national news media (national propaganda machine, controlled by the political establishment in Washington, D.C.) has used these disclosures to continue their negative smear campaign against Mr. Trump.
