We've heard about Russians trying to influence our election for the past year. Now indictments are being handed down.

I'm failing to see the huge deal here. Surely we try to influence foreign elections. Hell, we'll even take out a leader. That's real influence.

So is this sort of like spying? Where we act all butt hurt when it's done to us while it's what we should be doing to others?

Let's assume for a moment that Trump and anyone related to him is 10000000000000% innocent of any wrongdoing on this matter. Okay? So you don't have a problem with a foreign power attempting to impact a US election???? Wow.

Did the DNC/Hillary/etc. attempt to use "foreign powers" to influence the election when they paid for the creation of the infamous "DOSSIER?"

Just curious and need to have that question settled in my head before I comment further.

Again, it's sort of like spying. We don't want it to happen to us, and surely should try to prevent it, but don't we expect foreign governments to try? And don't we expect our own government to spy on foreign governments?

No.

They paid for opposition research and intelligence on Trump. The result of that research and intelligence led to the investigator telling his buddy at the FBI.

The creator of the dossier himself isn't a foreign agent? Pretty sure he is ex-British intelligence, no? And he relied on Russians for a nice chunk of the dossier, did he not?

Who knows how he got his information. He was a well known expert on Russian politics. Your leap though doesn't make sense.

The DNC hired Steele to get dirt on the Trump organization. Steele got dirt on the Trump organization. The leap you are making is that the Dems therefore colluded with a foreign power. They didn't they hired a former intelligence officer to investigate Trump.

Nobody in the DNC used "foreign powers." They hired a company in D.C. to do opposition research and the guy there happened to be a retired foreign intelligence officer.

This entire Russian Investigation is one big HUH from what I can tell.

You don't think there is more THERE there regarding the DNC and Clinton and what they did compared with Trump?

What Russians are being investigated? What evidence is there that Trump or his campaign actually colluded with members of the Russian government to take down Clinton, to warrant this grand Mueller investigation? Shouldn't there have actually been a pretty concrete reason to begin this investigation to begin with, other than Clinton lost?

You and Ralph are the only ones who seem to get how much of a nothing this is.

Sheppard Smith is wetting himself, and outright said falsehoods just now with his lead in on this story. He should be fired. He actually said that "THERE IS PROOF THE RUSSIANS AFFECTED OUR ELECTION IN FAVOR OF TRUMP!" Jerk. The Deputy AG actually said the opposite.

This is a joke. So they made up "hundreds" of fake Twitter accounts? And spent $1 million? Ok, let's see what those tweets all said, and who saw them, and how much they were shared or retweeted. Let's see the ads they ran. Let's see how many click-thrus they got, how many shares they got. I bet we're talking about a measly little number of people actually saw these things. And how were they different from all the crap put out by the real and fake media that really are Americans?

They had two protests. One anti-Trump, and one pro-Trump, at the same time, in NYC. Ok, did anyone even hear of this? Anyone see it?

This is absurd.

The investigation is happening and its finding stuff. That's a good thing. At the end of the day who knows what all will come out but I think jamming up foreign nationals for interfering with our elections is a good thing. I think dropping the axe on money-launderers is also a good thing. That's two good things to come out of this investigation without any relation to Trump so double thumbs up :ThmbUp::ThmbUp:

Your point about the dossier is moot the investigation was already ordered prior to that. Trump's own memo shows that.

Furthermore I don't get your foreign power thing here. Steele wasn't a foreign agent he was a retired agent. If I hire JR to do some investigative work for me I don't go around telling people I have the Baltimore PD looking into it for me.

The FBI was investigating Russian interference prior. Firing Comey prompted the creation of a special investigator. Do you understand this? The FBI was already investigating it.

I don't care why he was fired. Russian interference was already being investigated. Trump denied it happened even though EVERYBODY thought it did and when word got out the FBI was already on it Comey was sacked. I don't care about the particulars as to why though I can guess and I ordering a special investigation in light of all of that seemed logical.

Hillary lost.

You don't think having a FBI investigation reopened a week before the election might have affected some votes? Or was it a deep state Democrat plan to suffer one of the most surprising defeats in electoral history just so their deep state mole at the FBI could get Trump. :rolleyes:

Do you ever put things in context? Of course we thought Comey was a hero. Anyone with an IQ over 70 knew that Hilary having her own server, deleting 30,000 emails, trying to wipe her server clean, busting cell phone with hammers, and having her laptops disappear was all way, way more than enough curcumstantial evidence that she was up to no good. And we all heard her lie through her teeth about all these things as well. So of course he was a hero if he was going to investigate what was definitely needing investigation.... until he proved to be corrupt himself during the press conference where he exonerated her.

Which is why he was fired. He's corrupt. Trump's error was not firing him on day 1.

Anyone with an IQ over 70 knew that Hilary having her own server, deleting 30,000 emails, trying to wipe her server clean, busting cell phone with hammers, and having her laptops disappear was all way, way more than enough curcumstantial evidence that she was up to no good. And we all heard her lie through her teeth about all these things as well. So of course he was a hero if he was going to investigate what was definitely needing investigation.... until he proved to be corrupt himself during the press conference where he exonerated her.

Which is why he was fired. He's corrupt. Trump's error was not firing him on day 1.

That narrative does not serve the never Trump people like him.

Or maybe he's just a FBI guy... and a bit of an idiot.

Hillary lost.

You don't think having a FBI investigation reopened a week before the election might have affected some votes? No it was a deep state Democrat plan to suffer one of the most surprising defeats in electoral history just so their deep state mole at the FBI could get Trump. :rolleyes:

Comeys history isn't really all that partisan no matter how much some on here want to make it out to be.

He was a hero on here. Now a pariah.

You seem like an otherwise bright guy. Yet I see you on here repeatedly arguing with cultists.

It’s not like there is even a moderate success rate in converting people from deeply held religious beliefs by reasoning with them. And that is what you are trying to do.

Obama’s birth certificate was my “aha” moment. It was pointless arguing with anyone who still believed that steaming pile of crap in 2010. Yet there are still devotees on this very board.

The argument used to be that there was no evidence Russia tried to influence the election in favor of Trump. Now the argument is that influencing other countries elections is the normal course of business. We won’t comment on how wrong our initial argument was. We’ll just discuss “nothing burgers” ad nauseum.

Had they actually rigged our election somehow, broke into our voting system, then that'd be huge news, a huge deal.

This? They took to social media and voiced opinions for or against candidates? I mean, whoopdedoo.

And the indictments are based on them hiding that they were Russians instead of Americans voicing their opinion?

I recall seeing plenty of Canadians and Australians and British bashing mostly Trump leading up to the election. Nationality hidden or not, couldn't those voices have influenced voters just as much (including if any)? Maybe we should drum up some charges against them?

Interesting week just past and the too-cool-for-school juveniles gear up with their hilarious blame Trump idiocy.

Why don't some of you lunatics and bashers simply follow the dots and all this wasted stupidity could be put to an end ...

First ... emails come out that basically say Comey told Trump and others that Gen. Michael Flynn never lied during their investigations pertaining to the 'Russia' collusion hoax during the campaign/transition.

Then ... we have the high school shooting in Florida where word soon comes out that the FBI once again failed the American people. Between the Boston Marathon bombings, this Florida shooting... the FBI drops the ball more times than Marv Thronberry. One big difference though: Marvelous Marv's stone hands were never responsible for the murder of dozens of innocent people, like the FBI routinely is.

And now ... here comes the FBI and their indictment against 'Russian' nationalists, some of whom even held pro-Trump rallies in Manhattan, that hardly ever gets mentioned by the press !!

This last stunt by the corrupt and incompetent FBI was done strictly to get the real serious treasonous issues off the headlines and and Cable news outlets. That's it and only that.

I still maintain this non-response was deliberate, on purpose. What better way for the radical left to stir up frantic cries from genuinely concerned parents (albeit many of whom are ill-informed) all over the nation for the federal government to do something draconian and radical about the "gun problem", which is really not the problem.

In fact, someone told me recently that in a book which I think is titled "Behold the Pale Horse" (a phrase taken out of Revelations in the bible) that was published in the 80's, I think, predicted that so many of our kids would be on psychotropic drugs (more on this in a moment) that would drive them to do the insane things that are unfolding before our eyes, in order to derive the kind of result we're hearing and reading about with parents' outcries against the federal government (of which Trump is now the head). The whole idea is to have these kinds of shootings to manipulate the parents by preying on their fears and get them to demand action from the federal government.

Another possible reason for all the insanity we see today with our kids is: "It's the GMA in the Food, Stupid". Or another could be all these crazy vaccinations kids are forced to take "in the name of public safety", of course. All this anti-social behavior by our kids could be induced by one or a combination of any of the above mentioned factors.

Something else that we should not lose sight of: The major reason why the Left is so bent out of shape over Trump's victory in 2016 is because they were banking on at least having 16 straight years of radical leftist control in D.C.. They were counting on a Hillary victory so that she could continue and complete the Obama legacy. Obama scored no small victory for socialism when socialized medicine became law. (This is no small plank in socialist ideology.) Another big plank is tight limits on access to cash. (But we still have a little catching up with the EU on this item.) And another plank is gun control. And I'm sure most of us recall how radical Hillary's solutions were -- one of which was to make gun manufacturers civilly liable for shootings. Another of her solutions was to mandate the buyback of guns from owners by the feds just to get them out civilians' hands. I have to think that very high on Hillary's agenda would have been to stack the Supreme Court with leftists and then push hard for severe gun control laws -- possibly even pushing for the outlawing all ownership of weapons held by civilians -- all while neatly circumventing the Second Amendment. Once only law enforcement and criminals have all the guns, the rest of country is at their mercy.

If I can find some time, I'll try to do some research on the above mentioned book.

Good stuff:ThmbUp:

The thing that gets me in all this is completely obvious. Those who lean towards the conservative/Republican side are always hearing how are we "not concerned with this assault on the democratic process?". So yes we are but isn't this supposed to be an investigation into how Russia interfered with the democratic process in the 2016 election? It's not a how did Trump and Russia steal the 2016 election. It's all the moving parts, winners AND losers and everybody else that had any influence on the process including the former White House. Where is the totality from the other side if they are so worried?

But there are no answers to that so I agree:D

I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said “it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer.” The Russian “hoax” was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - it never did!

It really does seem to be up to the puppet masters as to when this is shut down (investigation)
Mueller hides silently behind his desk waiting on his next order.
He has no balls of his own. He has been "owned" for years,

I do not think he take orders, but gives them.. his mission ->

Mueller is a one trick pony.


Mueller’s unprecedented prosecution raises three novel arguments: first, that speaking out about American politics requires a foreign citizen to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act; second, that speaking out about American politics requires a foreign citizen list their source and expenditure of funding to the Federal Election Commission; and third, that mistakes on visa applications constitute “fraud” on the State Department. All appear to borrow from the now-discredited “honest services” theories Mueller’s team previously used in corporate and bribery cases, cases the Supreme Court overturned for their unconstitutional vagueness. The indictment raises serious issues under the free speech clause of the First Amendment and due process rights under the Fifth Amendment. https://lawandcrime.com/opinion/does-mueller-indictment-mean-clinton-campaign-can-be-indicted-for-chris-steele/ [emphasis added]

Now that Mueller is alleging that non-citizens committed a crime for trying to influence the American public about an election because those citizens did not register as a foreign agent nor record their financial expenditures to the Federal Elections Commission, does it mean the DACA people who engaged in influencing the American public about the election shoud be indicted? How about the non-DACA illegal immigrants who protested immigration policy trying to influence elections? I am sure they did not register as froreign agents or record their financial expenditures to the Federal Elections Commission.

Mueller is grasping at straws and is potentially setting an ugly precedent with his bogus allegations of crimes.

Thanks for the news flash that the Russians want to dick around with America.

You should see the REALLY SERIOUS SHIT they try to get away with that ISN'T RELATED TO POLITICS.

But Trump says Russia hasn't done anything and should be our friends...

So which is it? A conspiracy guy like you with your repeated comments about Obama's "wait until after the election" comment should be seeing one in every corner here.

Great point.
Idict them all!
Then deport them.

This stuff happened in 2014, under 0bama, and before Trump declared his candidacy. 0bama and his people knew what was going and kept it quiet, planning to bury it should Hillary have own. When she did not, they called an audible.

0bama is the one who should be investigated.
0bama is the one who tried to fix the election though his inaction.

With all that's been going on and all that's been reported, I'm confused.

Did the DNC/Hillary/etc. attempt to use "foreign powers" to influence the election when they paid for the creation of the infamous "DOSSIER?"
No. You obviously have no clue as to what is going on or you would not ask that question. Christopher Steele was hired first by the Free Beacon, then by the DNC to find damaging material against Trump.

Here are the differences between what the DNC did and what the Trump campaign and transition team did.

The DNC contracted with a British citizen and respected member of the international intelligence community to uncover actual wrong doing.

The Trump campaign conspired with Russian intelligence actors to disseminate specious rumors and lies.

The information in the Dossier was gathered from individual Russians and there is evidence to support many of them.

The accusations against the Hillary campaign are internet rumors supported by little or nothing.

I doubt if those 13 Russian nationals were indicted for speaking to Christopher Steele.

Really, Mueller has diddly squat if this is his next move.

This investigation has really gone off course. Charging some Russians for "trolling" is what I see.
You just don't get it. Mueller is building his case one brick at a time. Flynn and Papadopoulos have been charged for lying to the FBI and are cooperating in the investigation. Manafort and Gates have been charged on several counts and it looks as if Gates will be turning states evidence soon.

I'm sure there are many threads being combined even as we speak-forgive the mixed metaphors. We will not know where this is all leading until the day Mueller hands down his indictments or recommends impeachment.

According to Dan Pena "There is only two things that can f*&ck things up from being the greatest transformation of wealth ever.

1.) We go to war with Russia
2.) Monetary error with the Fed or World Bank putting the whole world into hyperinflation.

Other than that we could completely flatten NK or Iran or both and NO one would give a shit and business would act is if nothing is wrong.

In short Rudy Giuliani managed Trump as a insulator that no one could compromise his principal to any special counsel investigation.

It is all about the money, and has always been the driving plan.

Yes.

He's wrong.

We have no idea what was in the Steele dossier. We know it was enough verifiable Intel to be used in the FISA warrant. We also know that during his investigation Steele felt compelled to tell his buddy at the FBI that helped with the FIFA investigations.

Beyond that we really don't know anything.

As far as you with Trump and Russia yes he is completely denying their meddling. Another reason why sanctions aren't being enforced is the cockamamie argument that the threat of them is preventing them from meddling even though the CIA completely disagrees with this.

Religion is "taboo" when it comes to God, but when it comes to man (especially in the context of politics), many of us are all too eager to don religion garb and fill the God-vacuum that the godless created in the first place. That's how it worked in ages past, and it still works the same way in "modern day America".

And by the way, when someone has to use vulgarity in discourse that's a sure sign of another vacuum...between that person's ears. Just sayin'...

How come you didn't complain about Hillary or Obama using instead a minor kvetching figure of the alt right?

BTW, delusional means youse guys. Glad to see bolixed up car wearing his tin foil beanie and embrace the "deep state conspiracy" and can't wait for his Rapture, idiotic, biblical references. So when Trump goes down after the blue wave youse guys can claim those references were really about the anti-Christ, Trump not the deep state after all.

Nah youse guys will proudly parade on to Hell loving those pitchforks jabbing your bamboozled asses no matter what.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump%27s_disclosures_of_classified_informa tion

President Donald Trump discussed highly classified intelligence during an Oval Office meeting on May 10, 2017 with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, providing sufficient details that could be used by the Russians to deduce the source of the information and the manner in which it was collected, according to current and former government officials.


It's only a matter of time while Mueller ties up the obvious loose ends. Like jr. and Jared at the Trump tower meeting

Read it and weep......you got nothing


The majority ruling in the 1988 Supreme Court case Department of Navy vs. Egan -- which addressed the legal recourse of a Navy employee who had been denied a security clearance -- addresses this line of authority.

"The President, after all, is the ‘Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States’" according to Article II of the Constitution, the court’s majority wrote. "His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security ... flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant."

Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists Project on Government Secrecy, said that such authority gives the president the authority to "classify and declassify at will.

Does that mean that he can't shoot someone? :eek:

Can he tell his security detail to take someone out and shoot them? Or at least send them to one of our secret American Gulags?

"I was only following orders," has been unsuccessfully used as a legal defense in hundreds of cases (probably most notably by Nazi leaders at the Nuremberg tribunals following World War II). The defense didn't work for them, nor has it worked in hundreds of cases since.

I wouldn't be betting any real money on Mueller and his witch hunt 'winning' anything, especially against President Trump and his family.

As I have been just about the only one on here reminding everyone that Robert Mueller is a joke and a loser, here's something to read (and I have a half-dozen other and decidedly separate examples of the incompetence and corruption of Mueller, at al, and the FBI.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/remember-the-botched-anthrax-investigation/article/2623822

Writing in the Orange County Register, Cannon reviews the dismal performance of Mueller and James Comey on the 2001 anthrax letter attacks. In the process, Cannon also reviews the New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof's part in encouraging Mueller's and Comey's focus on an innocent scientist with no experience dealing with anthrax. Cannon credits his former Los Angeles Times colleague David Willman's The Mirage Man: Bruce Ivins, the Anthrax Attacks and America's Rush to War, as the definitive account of the anthrax case.


And then there is yet another story on the anthrax case that Mueller botched up:

But he is a officer of the court and it is my bet he has informed the DOJ of crimes to which he has uncovered not related to Russian Collision. A special council is not needed, the DOJ can impanel a grand jury when the go has been established.
