USPS' CEO, DeJoy, for reasons best known to him and his influence network. I'd have thought that was clear by now, regardless of any bias (real or imagined) in the links to date. However that now seems to have changed in the last 24 hours. Well, talking the talk at least, we'll have to see what his walk is like, before Pelosi grills him before the Senate next Monday. All a big series of coincidences I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Several people on here post links to Guardian articles with their obvious anti Tory, anti Brexit and anti Cummings stance so they obviously can't be independent either and nor can the posters, so do I have to trust posters replies who are not independent and biased also? Comparable but on the other side to The Guardian are The Times and The Telegraph. The sites/people you've been posting links to make the more extreme members of Momentum look reasonable.

Considering they said they did nothing wrong, boy did they lie a lot A bit more detail on that: Trump campaign Russia contacts were 'grave threat', says Senate report Quote A Republican-led Senate panel has concluded that Trump campaign contacts with Russia in 2016 "represented a grave counterintelligence threat". The nearly 1,000-page intelligence committee report laid out links between President Donald Trump's associates and Kremlin officials. ... Manafort's contact with Russian oligarchs and intelligence affiliates - namely Konstantin Kilimnik- and his access to Mr Trump "created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over, and acquire confidential information on, the Trump Campaign," the committee alleges. The committee also reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind the WikiLeaks effort to hack Democratic Party officials and leak information to damage Hillary Clinton's campaign. The report confirmed Kremlin used Manafort and WikiLeaks to help Mr Trump win the 2016 election, and that WikiLeaks was aware it was assisting Russian intelligence. Looks like Julian Assange might be getting a presidential pardon in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
