Both parties have both shot themselves in the proverbial foot!

And as time goes on I know and you do too, that more people will be indicted. It should be very interesting to be able to read the information that will be used to prosecute Russiagate and at the same time I think that a special prosecutor needs to be appointed to look into what the Democrats (and Hillary) did via the dossier on President Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\">My opinion is that both parties have very dirty hands and that the Russian government might very well have tried to unduly influence the American election process; if true this is very troubling. All I have to say is that we are living in very interesting times and I am awaiting with baited breath to see what happens next!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">That is my opinion- Jumpin Jersey Mike<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"faabz6a65cc76576fa\" ><script async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script>\n<a data-pin-do=\"embedBoard\" data-pin-board-width=\"150\" data-pin-scale-height=\"60\" data-pin-scale-width=\"800\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mkendallpk\/stuff-for-sale\/\"><\/a>\n\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n.faabz6a65cc76576fa {\r\nmargin: 5px; padding: 0px;\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.faabz6a65cc76576fa {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.faabz6a65cc76576fa {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.faabz6a65cc76576fa {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.faabz6a65cc76576fa {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.faabz6a65cc76576fa {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Well Russiagate is now in full swing with both the information that the Democrats, Republicans and the Russian (government?) are involved in trying to influence the Presidential election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[247,221,670],"class_list":["post-2243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-national","tag-donald-trump","tag-hillary-clinton","tag-russiagate"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.musingsbymichael.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.musingsbymichael.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.musingsbymichael.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.musingsbymichael.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.musingsbymichael.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.musingsbymichael.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.musingsbymichael.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.musingsbymichael.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.musingsbymichael.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
