Of course they were. But it's incovfefeable that the Trump campaign tried to obtain "oppo research" on her with Russian assistance.
Incovfefeable!
The attempts by the Trump administration are a dangerous step, as they now have not only eroded public opinion about media, but now are attempting to erode public perception of the FBI. Once the public no longer trusts the “deep state” and supports labeling public servants as traitors based on failure to support the POTUS..... Acually, you could see most of the points on this poster to be true, in degrees. IMO, this government needs to come down... I'm not sure how you bring a full government down, this is beyond an Impeachment situation, to many people are complicit.
Washington, D.C. *– U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on partisan attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice:
“In 2016, the Russian government engaged in an elaborate plot to interfere in an American election and undermine our democracy. Russia employed the same tactics it has used to influence elections around the world, from France and Germany to Ukraine, Montenegro, and beyond. Putin’s regime launched cyberattacks and spread disinformation with the goal of sowing chaos and weakening faith in our institutions. And while we have no evidence that these efforts affected the outcome of our election, I fear they succeeded in fueling political discord and dividing us from one another.
“The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests – no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s. The American people deserve to know all of the facts surrounding Russia’s ongoing efforts to subvert our democracy, which is why Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation must proceed unimpeded. Our nation’s elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the warped lens of politics and manufacturing partisan sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.”

When I saw this posted as an image on Twitter, I just assumed it was fake. But no, it's real.
FWIW, the Koch brothers stood to gain about $1.4 billion from the tax plan, this nice person gets an extra Snickers each week.
I thought he was Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan)?
At least I hope so.
Fuck me. He's actually both.
How fucking stupid are people? [rhetorical]

Good catch, I didn't think about the fact that he normally posts under @SpeakerRyan. It does appear to be legit though.
I seriously thought it was a parody.
