True. It also has literally nothing to do with my statements.No one disputes that such would be treason.Having "ties" to Russia covers a lot of territory. Legitimate business ties? Fine. Legal lobbying? Fine. Diplomatic ties? Fine. Conspiring to take down the US government? Treason. Let's not forget how many "ties" Hillary had to foreign governments via the Clinton Foundation."they & 16 other intel agencies" are not equal. They have different sources and different missions. Due to "need to know" classification policies, they all do not necessarily know about things which are not their concern. It is up those in Washington to put this all together.
The Dog & Pony Show we're seeing on TV has little to do with the reality of the world and our nation's efforts to protect our nation per the Constitution. Earlier a poster whined about how the CIA were fuck ups. That is a naive view point. We often see the CIA's failures but rarely see their successes for reasons intelligent and knowledgeable people readily understand.
Just as I was confident our intelligence services knew Obama wasn't a super-secret Kenyan Muslim sleeper agent, I'm also confident they know Trump was not colluding with the Russians to destroy the United States. Was there inappropriate behavior? Maybe. I don't know. Time will tell, but I remain confident Trump is no more a puppet of Putin than Obama was a puppet of the Islamic Jihad or Kenyans.
trump himself may or may not be a willing participant - however more & more people surrounding him have ties to russia & it cannot be all circumstantial & no way in hell is this scenerio is any way the same as the absurd notion that obama was a muslimborn in kenya. i really REALLY hope christopher steele comes here & sits b4 the senate.
So what evidence do we have other than some Trump people have "ties" with Russia? I don't know but am certainly curious to find out. Until then I'm not going to be a flaming asshat partisan by screaming "Treason!!!" every time the subject of the Trump campaign and Russia come up.
lol.... treason is what it will be if there is collusion. how much & from all the players involved is yet to be determined. but it's not looking good & i would be saying the same thing if it was all coming from the (D)s.
so don't go hanging that asshat on me.
The problem is that there is absolutely nothing showing that such occurred at this time. So far all we have is wild speculation and the insane idea that anyone having any contact with a Russian is suddenly indicative of nefarious Russian ties. The rality here is that ties with Russians somewhere is a given for almost any governmental and international businessman - essentially everyone in any administration.
m'k. what is happening behind the scenes is yet to be revealed.
