A man who registered as a Green Party candidate for Montana’s U.S. Senate race was on the state Republican Party’s payroll and heads a newly formed anti-tax group, according to a review of election documents.

Timothy Adams filed as a challenger Monday against Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, who faces a tough re-election campaign, in a race where a Green Party candidate could siphon votes from the Democrat.

The Green Party might care that a Republican is attempting to co-opt them. Now admittedly it’s not as though he’d committed assault on a member of the press for trying to do his job and been criminally convicted for it, but it does still seem like dirty pool. —Bob

The Democrats. This may be a dirty trick to siphon away votes from them, just as Jill Stein's candidacy apparently was.

I don’t recall Democrats accepting help from a hostile foreign government. I don’t recall Democrats breaking into their opponent’s re-election headquarters and then trying to use the CIA to kill the investigation. I don’t recall Democrats firing James Comey (or anyone else) because they didn’t like the investigation into their party’s nominee. —Bob

Do you remember the DNC tanking Sanders in favor of HRC?
Do you remember HRC being fed debate questions ahead of time?
Do you remember the IRS under Obama is targeting conservative political committees?
Do you recall the DNC paying Fusion GPS to pay (collude with) Russians for a dossier (fake one) on their political opponent?

There is strong evidence that the guy in the Oval Office has been compromised, if not entirely captured, by a hostile foreign government. Nothing on your list comes close to that, and a bunch of your list is exaggerated. Some of it is complete bullshit.

Like your party’s Congessional leadership, you don’t even want to investigate because it might hurt your party politically. That’s partisanship over patriotism and it’s taken over your party. That’s why your party deserves to be electorally destroyed until and unless it regains its senses. —Bob

The investigation has been going on for what, 18 months, and nothing related to what you are saying has been brought forth.

I only listed 4 things. You commented a "bunch" and "some". Please tag each with what you think is exaggerated (and why) and what you think is complete bullshit.

Gee, our resident news hounds must have missed the story where the judge who directed our Sec of State to remove the Green Party's candidate from the ballot neglected to mention his vigorous support of democrat candidates before rendering his decision.

And it's been three years since the guy in this story was on a Repub payroll, but, hey, facts - phsshh - who needs 'em.

And, really, Maddow? lol

It doesn't surprise me that someone like BJ has absolutely no knowledge of the abuses and corruption of the left. I will link to 2 excellent articles that do a good job of summarizing the concerns of those of us that don't have our heads in the sand (or in some cases, up our asses).

You might disagree with the authors, but they document our concerns, and they are every bit as valid to us as your concerns about trump are to you.

According to who? Why do you let your handlers decide what information you can look at? Are you afraid that if you consider the viewpoint of people not approved of by the leftist PTB you will suddenly become a NAZI? Your refusal to even look at alternate views explains your thoroughly closed mind.

More false equivalencies. "They did it too" is not a valid defense.

Where did you get that from? Sounds like bob-tel. So you are afraid to even look at it too....

Flock, I have read this stuff before, numerous times, from various right wingers, because that's all they have are the same set of talking points and "evidence" that they repeat over and over again. The Steele dossier has never been disproved; to the contrary, a good bit of it has been verified, and I think in the very near future, you'll see a lot more of it verified through indictments handed down by Mueller. Meanwhile, the case against Trump and his associates isn't static; it keeps growing month after month as new evidence surfaces (and for everything that surfaces, there's probably a lot that Mueller hasn't made public yet).

The biggest problem with all of this FBI anti-Trump nonsense is that if the FBI really wanted Hillary to win, all they would have had to do was make the Trump investigation public and/or put a lid on the reopening of Hillary's case for a couple of more weeks. Instead, your "sources" concoct this elaborate fantasy deep state conspiracy, much the same as they concocted the Pizzagate conspiracy.

So, you're using the pizzagate thing the same way you use David Duke? That's seems to be what you do when you have no answer.
I don't think you have 'read this stuff'. I think you've read criticisms of these concerns from left wing sources.
I, and millions of other people, don't see these concerns as being answered. And no matter how many times you call us trump supporters, it doesn't address those concerns.
in the very near future, you'll see a lot more of it verified through indictments handed down by Mueller.
Wow. I'm impressed. Can you share it with us? Or did he swear you to secrecy?
