Russians Indicted by FBI for Interference in 2016 Elections

Mueller should have double-secret indicted these 13, so we can grab them when they enter the US to cash in the Mar-a-Lago vouchers they were paid with.

Here’s to hoping there are many, many others under sealed indictment.

My point is simply that if Hillary had done her job she would have won the election. She won the popular vote. The problem was that not enough Democrats voted to overcome the Trump votes - the Evangelicals turned out for Trump, and he pulled the Rust Belt. He did not collude with the Russians. He won the election fair and square. Let us move on

Trump is POTUS. Whether or not Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to influence the election has not yet been determined. I would bet dollars to donuts that the Democrats do not want him removed from office in any event. He is an albatross around the neck of the GOP.

During the campaign, I did see Trump at a rally call from the stage for Russia to “find” HRC’s deleted emails. I was dumbfounded at the time because he was literally inviting a foreign government to intervene on his behalf. However, he is POTUS for another two years and 11 months.

How could the Chinese possibly benefit from an America first President?!

How could the Russians even benefit from a Trump presidency? I’m not following.

Trade perhaps? Of course, That’s assuming this “Interference” wasn’t created by the US government to nudge us towards WWIII. Personally, I think we’re just being fed propaganda.

There’s also no mention in this indictment that Trump has been vindicated.

So, what are we to make of Obama’s handling of this?

Nothing at this point because Obama isn’t the president. Trump is. What he does is what is pertinent now.

Your comment is an indication, in my opinion, that it is the Trump voter who is having trouble moving on from the election - which is not too surprising considering the difficulty it has been for Trump to transition from campaigning to governing… but all of this off the topic, don’t you think?

When the Trump voter/supporter does not have an argument against the facts of the topic, the only thing left is to bring HRC into the discussion. Just like when a Protestant has lost the debate, they launch into their Anti-Catholic diatribe.

I saw the same thing. Yet it is strange that very few people remember.

 

[JoshuaIsLord]

What is so scary, is that I see that as a real possibility.

Sincere question (not rhetorical): How long would one need to be a member in order to be above suspicion?

 

[Joyful_Song]

Let’s hope not

Just because he says "no collusion’ - I will never believe Anything this man says. He is a proven liar.
Also what he will be indicted for is criminal conspiracy, not “collusion”.

Mueller’s Indictment Ends Trump’s Myth of the Russia “Hoax”

The charges against a St. Petersburg troll farm have increased the President’s sense of political embattlement even inside his own Administration.

And in my opinion you posses a misguided and ridiculous McCarthy era-like paranoia at a time where Russia is no threat.

I choose to believe our intelligence agencies over some random person on the internet. In their opinion, the threat is real and documented.

Even if they had 300, not a whole lot of influence in a country of 321 million.

When you leverage the multiplicative power of social media, a few full-time posers can accomplish a lot.

"There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct
altered the outcome of the 2016 election.”
-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein

“There is no allegation” is a long way from “It definitely didn’t happen.” This statement clearly just takes no position one way or the other on that question because the investigators could not possibly calculate the effect accurately enough to say what might have been. That’s the thing about elections. When they are tampered with you don’t really know what might have been.

The Russians did not want Trump per se. They wanted to sow discord and distrust in the American democracy. They saw Trump (correctly) as the most discordant.

Apparently your fake news hasn’t been covering the musings of FBI agents Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. Your “intelligence” agencies are full of politically appointed bureaucratic (“deep state”) operatives very much needing scrutinization.

 

[LeafByNiggle]

You mean their playful banter between lovers? I’m not worried.

 

[DignumEtJustum]

Yes because lovers often bring up “All the President’s Men” in their ‘playful banter.’

 

[LeafByNiggle]

So now you’re an expert in what qualifies as playful banter?

I can read between the lines.
