Timeline: Trump associates and aides and their brushes with Russia "FBI Director James Comey said for the first time publicly Monday that the FBI is investigating the possibility of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government during the 2016 U.S. presidential election." great, let the "witch hunt" continue. there are just too many coincidences to sweep this under the rug. Flynn, Sessions, Manafort, Roger Stone, Carter Page... all of them had very strange ties to russian businesses and received either direct or indirect monetary compensation for their "services" or were shown to be supporters of Putin or the ousted Ukrainian president Yanukovich. (which in turn makes one wonder why did trump speak out so negatively against NATO, basically taking Putin's side on the issue)... and strangely enough goes back to the whole ukraine/russia conflict and the fight over regions were many of those coal and gas interest lie. the timelines presented in the article, as well as the recent events of the conflict, are pretty evident of something strange going on, more so than any other "leaks" we've seen so far. call this a conspiracy theory... whatever... i'm going to call it a coincidence theory. p.s. most importantly a bunch of them wear those pin-striped suits, which is pretty much a mafia uniform.
US has been doing this thing to all other countries for decades. If this is true i am happy that finally their own play hit them in the a..s
hmm. that's slightly unrelated. civilized countries with intelligence agencies have been doing this to each other since the dawn of times, using smoke signals and pigeons when appropriate. the point here is that we have a POTUS who potentially has backroom deals with a foreign government and, unlike other presidents who were "puppets" of lobbyists, this guy just may be a puppet of Putin... which is a whole different game now. not only did trump / WH lose all credibility due to his moronic tweets, now they seem to try and distance themselves from people like Manafort by saying he only played a "very limited role" in the trump campaign as a manager/chairman of the campaign? ... wtf? http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/05/politics/trump-russia-fallout/
If Russia hacked the DNC, why did DNC repeatedly deny the FBI access to their servers? What were they afraid of the FBI finding? The only reason the Trump aides connections to Russia would be odd is if there was collusion. If there was no collusion, then nothing is unusual here (except for Manafort's alleged money laundering). There are unusual and illegal things that we should be asking about; like why an unmasked citizens name was leaked to the press, or why the DNC blocked the FBI investigation.
i don't know. no idea, to be honest. wasn't there an investigation into all that by FBI as well? or would the DNC hack be part of this investigation? if not, then let's try to keep it on topic. i believe there are two separate issues that we (American citizens) need to be informed about. 1. DNC hacking, and who is responsible. 2. trump administration connections to russian companies / putin, and how deep does it run. i think these issues should be important to people regardless of their political association. also, by that rationale "why deny access?"... why is trump denying access to his tax returns?
dont forget there were leaks to hillary in which she was already aware of what questions were going to be asked of her at the debates in order to one-up trump...i think she had all that arranged ahead of time
IC claims that Russia is responsible for committing a crime is not based on evidence from DNC servers, but from a third party private company that the DNC employs. The DNC not only blocked multiple requests from the FBI to investigate the alleged crime, but lied to media about receiving FBI requests. If we are going to be entertaining conspiracy theories about the Russian hacking we should start with the conspiracy theory that the DNC and their private security firm fabricated the entire Russian connection. As for his tax returns there's a distinct difference. DNC prevented FBI from investigating a crime, Trump is preventing the media from invading his privacy. There isn't sufficient evidence to subpoena his tax returns since there is no evidence of Russian collusion.
are you saying that DNC's private security fabricated payments made to Flynn, Manafort and others on trump's campaign? or they fabricated the meetings that were held between foreign officials? i'm really not sure why these investigations are mutually exclusive. or why we should pursue one, but not the other. also you seem to be ignoring the very fact that FBI director publicly announced that trump is under investigation. so whether it's a witch hunt or not, or whether DNC had fabricated something, the investigation into trump's connections is still ongoing, let's wait for results.
New documents show Trump aide laundered payments from party with Moscow ties, lawmaker alleges New documents show Trump aide laundered payments from party with Moscow ties, lawmaker alleges "The new documents, if legitimate, stem from business ties between the Trump aide, Paul Manafort, and the party of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, who enjoyed Moscow’s backing while he was in power. He has been in hiding in Russia since being overthrown by pro-Western protesters in 2014, and is wanted in Ukraine on corruption charges. The latest documents were released just hours after the House Intelligence Committee questioned FBI Director James B. Comey about possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow. The hearing that also touched on Manafort’s work for Yanukovych’s party in Ukraine."
They have been carrying on said "investigation" since BEFORE the POTUS won the election and have admitted MULTIPLE times that they have no evidence of such. Don't automatically consider that your news source is telling you the truth. 99.9% of anything you see and hear on TV is plain old BS. If you want to know the truth, you certainly have to go a bit deeper than the evening news to find it, sadly. Show me some proof, some evidence of something....anything. Otherwise, the media and wack job libbotard democrats need to shut the hell up, accept that they got beat like a red-headed step child and that it was THEIR OWN FAULT....NOT RUSSIA! Time to vote the dissenters out so we can actually get something done in Washington DC. TWW
the FBI director said yesterday the investigation is ongoing. i guess we'll see proof or lack thereof once it's concluded. why are you asking me to show you proof today? (i'm not the one conducting the investigation). however what i can show you is a lot of strange links between the current administration and russia (please see any of the posts above), and WH bizarre tactics of trying to distance themselves from that mess by denying that Manafort was even close to trump campaign (despite the fact that he was in charge, basically). keep twisting the reality, it has worked so far, but the truth is catching up. you'd rather have Putin in charge as long as dems shut the hell up? .. strange logic.
Lmao at Republicans and Democrats fighting over whose shit smells better. The American government has been spying on the world for years, it's about time they got a dose of their own medicine.
SMH. Look over there a squirrel. Let's detract from the topic and point our fingers elsewhere. No, let's keep it on topic and see what happens.
While it is true that she was given the questions for one of the debates, which should not happen, is it really that big of a deal? Don't all of the moderators ask basically the same questions? Shouldn't a candidate already know how to answer any question that could possibly be asked? It's not like the moderator is going to suddenly ask "What character is killed on page 249 of Herman Melville's "Moby Dick"? And besides, when was the last time a candidate actually answered the question that was asked?
Actually I am going to forget that. Clinton is not the president. Trump is the one who is under investigation. Please try to stay focused.
This is almost as dumb as the "Obama was born in Kenya" bullshit. There is absolutely no evidence supporting some Russia-Trump conspiracy, only conjecture and coincidence mining. Just a bunch of sore losers milking stale old Cold War scare tactics. P.S. Whoever may have leaked the DNC emails deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for revealing corruption.
The reason for investigation is to uncover evidence. Otherwise there would not be a need for investigation. The FBI director tells us that the POTUS is currently under investigation. Nothing to do, but deal with it.
Funny. You know that he could not comment on any specific individual. He did say this: "That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts." Now, I'm not sure if Trump was a part of his own campaign, but you can draw your own conclusions.
No, it's not a big deal that a presidential candidate and career politician was trying to trick the american people? What's hilarious is that her prepared response to the question still made people want to "vomit in their mouths."
