Hopefully (for their and their party's sake) one of these uber-liberal Hillary supporters finally gets it right and there really is something on Trump re: Russia...so far, you guys have struck out at every turn at the plate.

"Bull" is right. That story is totally bereft of facts. Idle speculation to fill up air time.

Hang in there, hcap.
Weather, Russians, you just might get one right someday.
Maybe even tomorrow.

Only a question of time. It began with the organized crime connections with Trump a while go.
Quote:
There's been a fair amount of discussion of Donald Trump's multiple business ties to people from the Russian criminal underworld. This is not primarily contacts or associations that came up during the campaign but ties that go back in most cases a bit more than a decade. The regimes of Russia and other post-Soviet states are heavily kleptocratic. So the lines separating oligarchs from governments from organized crime bosses can be very hard to draw and in many cases are close to non-existent.

...As Donald Trump Jr., executive vice president of development and acquisitions for the Trump Organization, told the Bridging U.S. and Emerging Markets Real Estate conference in September 2008 (on the basis, he said, of his own “half dozen trips to Russia in 18 months”):

"[I]n terms of high-end product influx into the United States, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets; say in Dubai, and certainly with our project in SoHo and anywhere in New York. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia."

Trumps proven to be an all timer as Prez, if something 'bad' was going to come out about him it would have came out before the election. Anything that comes out now is a lie or else you would have heard about it 6 months ago

Exactly right! The only card the Dem(on)s have left to play is the illegitimacy card. We saw Schumer play it at the Gorsuch confirmation, and that forced the nuclear option. The Dems will not cooperate or play ball with the Trump administration on any issue because he shouldn't be in the Oval Office. He's illegitimate. This mean-spirited, sore-loser, obstructionist strategy will come back to bite them hard with mainstream Americans at election time. Not all Americans are half as stupid as the Dems seem to think.

you can bet no candidate in history had the microscope more than Trump. There's nothing. And it's driving the libs nuts. They now resort to lies and distractions to rally the troops. If nothing else it's entertaining as hell

Yeah, one would have to think this to be true...such "obvious connections" and yet months of scrutiny by the likes of the NSA and the Obama White House found nothing so far?

Either Trump is way smarter than he's given credit for (and is thus able to hide all these "obvious connections" from one of the greatest intelligence agencies in the world), or there is no THERE there.

Any businessman of Trump's stature in New York has to know and been involved with the mob. No way around it. Its New York.
