We know there was vast amounts of fake news about HRC (the IC has confirmed this). In contrast, I am not aware of the IC confirming the presence of significant amounts of fake news about Trump. Thus, there is no basis for your stated equivalency regarding the amount of fake news each was subjected to.
Unless of course you have a source that indicates otherwise.
No, I am saying that all signs indicate Trump was planning to keep Flynn on.
The issue is not whether there was collusion regarding the hacking, rather, it’s whether there was collusion regarding the dissemination of the hacked material.
I’m not aware of this ever being a serious allegation to be debunked.
He did far more than simply lie to the VP. He was an unregistered agent acting on behalf of a foreign govt. He accepted money from Russia and Turkey that, per DoD regs, he shouldn’t have.
Not liking his hair? I suppose. But he can’t fire him if his (Trump’s) intent was to obstruct justice.
Technically, he could have ordered the AG to direct Comey to stop. Of course, this would have produced a reaction of Watergate-ian proportions, so the fact that he didn’t do it is not evidence to support a claim that he (Trump) didn’t want Comey to stop. Then of course there’s the fact that Trump admitted he fired Comey because of ‘the Russia stuff.’
If that’s the case, you’re not looking very hard.
Edit: Just saw where @thunderbolt23 pretty much fished this lake dry already.
This is ridiculous. We’re talking about whether Russia actually impacted votes in the election. It’s an open question and a rational one because it’s an undisputed fact that Russia tried to impact the election.
Only a fool or a mindless partisan would suggest we not answer the question “did Russia actually do it?”, given that we know spent lots of time and energy trying to.
No offense intended, but I would not consider you a ‘serious, knowledgeable source.’ Thus, the fact that you choose to dispute the collective conclusion of the US intel community does not carry great weight.
Dentist is right DOJ, CIA, FBI, SS, US Marshalls, all say Russia meddled plus other countrys all say they tried it in their neck of the woods during elections
Im writing my theory when Im right just remember you heard it here first
No human organization is perfect. But on balance (and freely admitting I’m no expert on the subject), the track record of US intel seems very strong to me. This is especially the case in situations such as this, when they present a united front/singular opinion.
Not sure how people can ask if Russia was involved or not. The Senate almost unanimously voted today for sanctions against them in part of because of what they did.
