Trump...Where is the paper trail?

[Crixus]

Trumps response so far has been to declare the story "fake news", claim nothing happened, attack the sources, try to squash the FBI investigation, hire a lawyer and support Flynn taking the fifth


Not the actions of someone responding to some "innocent meetings"

So are you like Trump in saying anyone who takes the fifth amendment right is guilty? So you would be good with Eric Holder being made open to law suits by the family members of the victims killed by the guns he sold Mexican drug dealers because he let one of his guys exsorsize his 5th amendment rights. even then, all you got is Flynn, who by the way, got his security clearances from Half Black Jesus.

Taking the 5th is a Constitutional right
So is Trump taking on a lawyer

But if you refuse to cooperate in an investigation and use these protections, you have no right to complain if the investigation is taking too long. If Trump had just cooperated, this whole thing could have been over six months ago

Trump did not plead the 5th. Trump is not under investigation for colluding with Russia, members of his staff are. Far as I know, only Flynn is the only one who has used the 5th so far. It was never going to be over. If that's what you think then you are very suggestible. You can also say if the democrat party would just present all the evidence they could end all this by next week. Why won't they?

rightwinger and careforall you retarded, mentally ill, braindead idiots who think Russia interfered with a US election, can you explain how? And then tell homosexual transgender qu33r Rachel Maddow so it can have credibility!

Do not hold your breath waiting for an answer....

They interfered with our democratic election process, they certainly are not our Best Friends Forever, BFFs Sunni.....
46 journalists and political opponents of PUTIN have been killed/murdered since Putin's election in 2012.....he's a murderer.....not a bff!

Zero evidence for any of that involving the Russian government or Putin. ....

I have worked for over 40 years. During that time there were always standards of how you conduct and document meetings with outside agencies

Before meeting with an outside agency, I had to discuss with my management what the purpose was and provide a written agenda. I was told what could be discussed and what was off limits. After the meeting, I had to document who was there, what was discussed and what the result of the meeting was

Trump has his campaign chief and chief intelligence advisor meeting with an enemy foreign government. None of these meetings were cleared by Trump? There was no documentation of who they met with and what was discussed? I'm sure Putin has them documented (recorded)

If Trump wants to end the investigation, why doesn't he just come clean on what the meetings were about?

Thank you Rightwinger for sharing some of your personal work experience. It appears you worked either in government or with government, and that explains a lot about who you are and the post you make. I worked for a few years at Martin Marietta shortly after college. We made the Peacekeeper ICBM for the US government, and as you explained, everything was documented. I didn't fit in well in that environment, it was too slow, too regulated and regimented (huge issue with parts procurement because of the red tape). But that is how Government based business gets done.

Russians definitely documented or recorded the conversations with the Trump campaigners and have Kompromant on the Trumpsters.....

And we're not the only country listening in...

So true....!!!! And in this case, Thank goodness! I'm certain the investigators are retrieving those conversations too.....at least the phone ones.

What doe Putin have?

If the US investigation hits a dead end, can Putin use his recordings to blackmail Trump?

Forget Putin, how many allies and antagonists have transcripts of conversations between Russia and whoever? Everybody is listening to everybody.

and the news response to all this has been what - another anonymous source familiar with the situation?

rightwinger, where did you work that was so anal? I worked at a Fortune 500 company and they could care less what I talked about with the public accounting firm or the IRS dude always auditing. I actually played beer league hockey with one of the CPA's.

If Trump wants to end the investigation, why doesn't he just come clean on what the meetings were about?

To prolong this investigations of Trump, the snowflakes / liberals should produce the 1st shred of evidence that supports their false claims, to counter all the evidence and testimony from the CIA, DIA, FBI, and NSA that there is none, never was any.

Malcolm Nance, an intelligence expert and counterterrorism officer with the United States government (and author of a book, published in October 2016, titled “The Plot to Hack America: How Putin’s Cyberspies and WikiLeaks Tried to Steal the 2016 Election”) was even more blunt, saying that laypeople are confusing intelligencewith evidence, and thus potentially cherrypicking disparate and unrelated events and weaving them into a narrative without understanding what they don’t know:

Intelligence isn’t evidence — evidence is a legal term. But we’re actually there already! We’ve got sixteen intelligence agencies that have created the base of evidence for an FBI investigation. This has never happened in the history of America, that a president and his campaign may be working for, or working in collusion, or unwittingly, for foreign intelligence agencies.[...]
​

Where the investigation stands

Right now, Orenstein described the scandal as an unfinished Pointillism painting: there’s a picture emerging of what happened, but many of the details remain unclear. Because of the scope of it, investigations and public disclosure may take a long time:

To do a real and legitimate investigation is going to take a long time and that’s been frustrating to a lot of people. We’re going to have to be concerned about this for a while, and things are going to drip drop out. A lot of us [who are experts in the field] know or think we know this is going to pan out to be a major, major scandal that rivals Watergate and probably will raise questions about impeachment of the president.

We have a lot of sources and people we talk to who know more than what’s published in the media. For me it feels like a slow motion revelation that we can see three or four steps down the line. But I understand that people experience every little twist and turn along the way — people don’t quite want to believe it or know what to believe. I would just advise people that we are living in a rather fantastical reality and it’s going to come crashing down on somebody at some point. …

The most likely scenario here is that there was a lot of money that changed hands. … I think there’s a money part of this and a campaign part of this — [what we don’t know is] what exactly is the linkage between these things? Most likely someone was buying influence in the Trump campaign. It’s not really whether it happened, it’s exactly how it happened.

Russia, U.S. Elections, and the Fake News Cycle

Patience.

Plenty of evidence has been provided that a crime has been committed

Russians hacked the DNC server
Trump officials met with Russians at the time the leaks were being reported
Trump was making policy concessions to the Russians at the time the leaks were released

More than warrants an investigation into what happened, who is responsible and was there involvement of Trump or his representatives

now how come the crimes on the DNC server we in fact have proof of gets ignored?

this "evidence" you speak of - if someone came at obama with such damning proof, would you go "wow, they got us" or say "wow, that's shitnugget stupid"?

i'm betting 2 but since you're caught in emo-validation, it's bad for trump.

 

[OKTexas]

Trump has his campaign chief and chief intelligence advisor meeting with an enemy foreign government.

So Russia is now considered our "enemy"? ....

Friends don't illegally hack your databases and release information to influence your elections

No they just send political operatives and taxpayer money to support an opponent. Like the dear leader did in Israel. LMAO

Another new day...STILL no evidence.

The "leaks" contained on the server were not criminal acts

The hacking of a private email server is a criminal act
Participating in that crime is also a criminal act

 

[rightwinger]

Another new day...STILL no evidence.

Another day and Trump still has not said what his people were talking to the Russians about

heh - many of those leaks in fact, were.

yes, it would be a crime.
yes, it would be a participant.

now prove trump had a thing to do with it. PROOF now - not drivel.

Another new day...STILL no evidence.

On what day, in what year did the attack on Benghazi occur?
