A conflict of interest, which clearly does not exist. hes blaming mccabe because his bi wife because his wife was running for office in the state of virginia and he took money from an ally of hillary clinton which had nothing to do with the investigation, and my understanding is that mccabe didnt actually supervise the investigation while she was running for office. im not sure about the facts of that. those are things we need to know, but it does not create an automatic conflict of interest. as...

Removed, its a narrative thats followble, does that make it something the voters care more about in? >> i dont think russia will be a defining issue in november. i dont think mccabe will be. your immediate to low information voters dont know who he is and really dont care. what will be material, though, is if theres evidence the president purgers himself. you are seeing senators in particular speak up and say we need to protect mueller, but theyre being very careful about it because trumps attac...
