I thought I heard him say it during an interview, I was wrong.
What he said was that there would still be a Russia investigtion and obstruction investigation without the dossier.
he speaks on it in the beginning of the video
footnote - Trey Gowdy is a right wing nut job who is no longer carrying Trumps water

Yep, all politicians should get a free pass from the FBI.
The GOP wet dream.

You are all stoopid and brainwashed, says the Duck.
Ducks are related to loons, and Bugs and Looney Tunes are one together.
Sorry Werner, I could not resist, I want to beat you to the punch. Sort of a pre-empt.
You stooooooopid Americans (hey, I am one of those), get a clue Trump is the best, he is the best… until he bankrupts America.
I'd like to be serious , I'd like to laugh, but the joke of Trump is no laughing matter.
Things need/needed changing, but Trump is not the answer. He is just enriching himself, at your cost. and no doubt in a minority of American eyes, he will go down as a great president. As long as he goes down, and I do not mean on a porn star.
I may live abroad, but I want the best for my country. I want consensus, I do not want an orange turd sitting in the west wing.
Cannot we find a true leader, who listens to both sides and works for all Americans? Is that too much to ask for?

Maybe the FBI is finally relearning to stay the f*#k out of politics.
I am with Dingus on this one...
Remember when the FBI director virtually handed the election to Trump by continually jabbering about Hillary's emails winding up on Weiner's lap top, by then the public had had a belly full of her emails, no one cared or even understood what the truth was, but just the constant daily news onslaught, just like with Benghazi, convinced many Americans that there just had to something sinister going on
good call, Dingus, about the FBI being political

yes Dingus, perhaps he really did want Trump to be President, given what he did to Clinton

(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday accused Democrats of being “un-American” and “treasonous” for their lack of applause during his State of the Union address last week when he spoke of rising wages and historically low African-American unemployment.
Of couse, during President Obama's 8 State of the Union addresses, the Republicans, by order of their leaders, all "sat on their hands." I don't recall Obama doing much, but sighing about their lack of support for his agenda.
On Fox news tonight, their spin on Trump calling Democratic Congressmen treasonist was:
President Trump on Monday ripped into congressional Democrats who refused to applaud the “positive news” during his State of the Union address last week, calling their reaction “un-American” and accusing them of “bad energy” during the speech.
“They were like death and un-American,” Trump said during a speech in Ohio, as he promoted the sweeping tax reform law that Congress passed last year.
Trump added: “Somebody said ‘treasonist.’ I mean, yeah, I guess, why not? Can we call that treason? Why not?”
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/02/05/trump-turns-up-heat-on-un-american-dems-silent-during-sotu-can-call-that-treason.html
Trump is an incredible, bad for our country, assfukhole.
And for those who want to laugh-off Trump using the word Treason about Democrats who didn't applaud him, those convicted of Treason are sentenced to death.

Definition of treason under Federal law is
18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

this is simple the infighting between players on the one side which is allowed to hold office and political sway
Just the two factions of the Corporate Party disagreeing over exactly how many crumbs should be swept off the table to us.

Trump said he’d shrink the trade deficit with China. It just hit a record high.
U.S. purchases of Chinese goods and services last year were $375 billion greater than Chinese orders from the United States, the Commerce Department said Tuesday.

I would like your opinions on the Path to Citizenship issue
First for "Dreamers", those who came across the border as children and have lived here some for many decades and want to be citizens
Secondly for the other some 10 million people who are here illegally mostly because they came across our borders as adults fleeing miserable lives elsewhere
Since both above groups of people are living here technically illegally, what to do?
1) Well if you buy the Republican Party and Trump's line you round them up, tear them away from their jobs and families, root them out of church sanctuaries, and send them back to
somewhere presumably the country they ran away from many years ago, countries that do not want them back and have no use for them
2) You offer both above groups a way to stay here and become US citizens
Maybe you set up some hoops for them to jump through
Like you have to be able to speak and understand basic English
Maybe you require them to take and pass a basic US civics class
My own opinion is door number two above, yours?

You would deport someone based on whether or not they can speak English? How's that going to work?

You should see the test for British citizenship. It requires a lot more than just a good
command of the language.

Good point Chaz.
My grandma spoke Russian as a child there.
Then moved to Berlin and learned German.
In 1935 she and her husband escaped to Buenos Aires where she learned Spanish.
By the time she came to the US she was half deaf. Didn't bother with English.

Like you have to be able to speak and understand basic English
My dear departed grandmother was born in Posey County Indiana in 1889. Her English wasn't that good, but she sure could crank out that low German dialect.
My father, born in Posey County Indiana in 1927 didn't speak English until he started 1st grade.

I could not agree more about NOT making the English language a requirement for citizenship
however every Republican authored proposal for a pathway that I have read makes this a requirement....and since they control congress and the Presidency safe bet that some English requirement will end up in any grand Immigration bill becoming law......

Since that is a position I simply don't understand I'd like to see your thoughts behind it.
It seems to me that a sure road to a balkanized society is to have language barriers between different ethnicities and nationalities. Or to put it another way, I think that becoming a citizen means to become American. Part of the whole. Not to abandon your heritage, but to add being an American to your life. Part of being integrated into American culture is to speak the country's language.
