Cons will ignore this, but ..

Senate panel says Russia intervened in 2016 election to help Donald Trump, undercut Hillary Clinton

WASHINGTON – The Senate Intelligence Committee said on Tuesday it agreed with U.S. intelligence agencies' assessment that the Russian government tried to boost President Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election and weaken Hillary Clinton.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., had already announced in Maythat they agreed with the January 2017 report by the intelligence agencies. However, the full committee has now concurred and released the official, unclassified summary of its initial findings.

"The Committee concurs with intelligence and open-source assessments that this influence campaign was approved by President Putin," the senators wrote. "Further, a body of reporting...showed that Moscow sought to denigrate Secretary Clinton."

It is a meaningless endorsement. Why shouldn't they ignore it?

 

[Sunni Man]

Well, I said cons would ignore it.

Ignore what?? ...

The only so called evidence always seems to be from unnamed sources who wish to remain anonymous. ....

 

[Defiant1]

Did Russia help Trump win the election? ...

Neither you or I really know the answer to that question.

But if Russia did help put Trump get into the White House, then all I can say is, "Thank you Comrade!!" ....

Well, I said cons would ignore it.

Do you want the internet shut down during US elections?

The Senate Intelligence Committee.

 

[Sunni Man]

Horosho, tovarisch...

Same to you Comrade....

 

[Sunni Man]

Ignore what??

The Senate Intelligence Committee.

Again, no evidence, no proof.

Just allegations from unnamed anonymous sources. ...

How is this relevant? The whole EU "backed" Clinton.

Norman, do you really think it's impossible that Trump did something that could land him in some hot water? He didn't become a billionaire by not being a greedy asshole. I could definitely see him taking help from Russia.

Was the alledged backing from Russia seen in the form of supporting his campaign by the left, as some kind of way to help Trump to then attack Clinton by way of the Russians supplying facts to him on Clinton or was it based solely in the rehtoric or was it just the propaganda being spoken that led the left to investigate the whole thing afterwards ??

What would be found in it all for the Russians to support a Trump presidency ??

Was it based upon being ideologically in tune with a man like Trump, was it to gain access to our country in ways that would help their country or was it economical, cultural, financial or other ??

During the campaign when all the bullcrap was taking place, was this what happened as is written below,

Trump was on the sidelines of the Clinton uncovering action taking place, and he was highly entertained by it, so he began to use some of the hype in a joking way to attack Hillary with it, and when he did (in which you couldn't blame him for if the information was true), well that is when the left tried to tie Trump to the Russians because he used the open aired rehtoric to slam his opponent once aware that the information coming out was true against his opponent.

This could explain why Mueller hasn't gotten anything of value tying Trump to the Russians concerning her being outed during the campaign, because he wasn't involved in that, but he was highly entertained by what he was hearing not only concerning what Comey was doing to her, but also what was claimed that the Russians were doing to her and the DNC.

.

The Senate Intelligence Committee has sixteen months invested in its investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, and the committee’s inquiry remains ongoing.

With the probe continuing, there will be more interim reports issued in the weeks and months to come.

This just proves a true investigation into the idiot trump’s corruption takes a great deal of time and effort. Unlike the extremely short period taken for the House Republicans’ white wash of the idiot trump’s collusion with the Russians.

Again, more proof the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller is on track, and discredits the idiot trump’s and his mindless minions’ claims the Mueller investigation is a witch hunt.

Senate panel upholds finding that Russia backed Trump, contradicting House



.

Kudos on resisting the urge to wave the evidence in our faces.


I mean, it must have been sooooo hard to not present that evidence and gloat, and gloat and gloat.



Especially that "smoking gun" that everyone is talking about, Wooowee,


I would have done it. I would have led with that, to crush my enemies.

 

[BULLDOG]

Oh, I don't doubt that the Russians preferred Trump to Hillary. That's not the issue. Heck, Hamas announced to the world in 2008 that they preferred Barack Obama over John McCain. The Palestinian Authority likewise left no doubt that they preferred Obama to McCain. Greece made it clear in 1988 that they preferred Greek-American Michael Dukakis over George H.W. Bush. There's no sin in a country or a foreign group preferring one American presidential candidate over the other. That proves nothing.

The issue is whether or not Trump and/or his senior people colluded with the Russians to sway the election, and on that point Mueller has not produced a shred of evidence that this occurred.

He won't release his results until the investigation is over. You don't understand that?

As a “con”, I’m interested to know what the crime is. I don’t think other countries should be interfering with our political process, but it wasn’t a problem when Obama did it. If you want to start a list of criminal activity this is hardly the way to start... after all uranium one still bears investigation as well as the Clinton email server and the Pakistani IT crew... plus the extent of Russian meddling seems to be extremely limited given that the social media attempts were in Russian so the average American did not know what they said...

Uranium one has been investigated by every RWNJ with the capability for years. Why hasn't anybody found anything? If Trump can afford hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay off porn stars, he should be able to find something.

They have found information on it, at least, they have found more information on the uranium one scandal than they have of trump colluding with russians, but the Clinton's are untouchable, so, no matter what they find,.it will never come to light, or at least, nothing will ever be done about it.

I mean, look at it like this, one single allegation of sexual misconduct against someone in the Republican party will get them thrown off TV, or have them removed from a Senate seat, yet uranium one, pizza gate, and email server allegations have had almost no effect on the Clinton's. Even bill, who had sexual contact with an lewinski came out of that pretty unscathed.

You see, the left always seem to be able to commit whatever crimes and atrocious acts, and people seem to turn a blind eye, but a Republican commits even the smallest of misdeeds, and its national news for weeks to come.

 

[Deno]

I've supported the Mueller investigation from the beginning because I put truth before everything. I will say though that I find it funny how the left can turn a blind eye to illegal immigration while wanting to nail Trump to a ******* cross over having financial connections to Russia that might possibly be illegal in some instances. The law is a big deal when you can use it to attack somebody you dislike, but when it gets in the way of what you want the law is unimportant.

You mean like those endless Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi investigations?

Lying hillary will burn in hell for that...

 

[Desperado]

If true, remind me to send Russia a thank you card.
I still would rather have Trump than the Hildabeast no matter who helped him.

Those have no effect because they are trumped up bullshit. Crazy accusations are all they ever were

You go with that. Dale will believe you.

Did you just call people conspiracy theorists?

You are the only one here who believes in a story that surpasses all evidence. This is crazier than the flat earth fantasy.

Bulldog believes that it HAD to be the ROOSKIES...because the fix was already in for the Hildebeast so Trump and the ROOSKIES had to of out-cheated the DNC.....

It's kind of pathetic that from the moment she lost the left refused to take any responsibility for their own defeat. Trump won with less votes than Romney lost with. The Democrats lost because Hillary was a garbage candidate despised by millions on the left. If you supported Hillary in the primaries it is YOUR FAULT that Donald is now president.

Well, the Republicans contributed a lot by not offering anyone viable. Still, what was to be expected by the duopoly dictatorship, a real candidate?

I do not participate in the election process of what has become a banana republic....but I am starting to believe that the "white hats" really did recruit a reluctant Donald Trump to run in 2016 because he certainly didn't need this job and all the shit that comes with it. I hope and pray that the 40,000 plus unsealed indictments are real and that the swamp is going to be drained.

Oh, I don't doubt that the Russians preferred Trump to Hillary. That's not the issue. Heck, Hamas announced to the world in 2008 that they preferred Barack Obama over John McCain.

Mike, the fact that Mueller has not issued press reports about any findings does not mean there is not 'a shred of evidence that this (collusion) occurred'. And Mike, the President of the United States doth protest too much. Who knows, you may be right! But at least find out what the investigation discovers before you condemn it. I repeat, just because Mueller doesn't tweet his findings of these many months while the President daily spews into your ear only means none of us knows squat about the investigative side, excepting that several indictments have been issued. And you know nobody indicts unless the feel they have a viable case. The fat lady isn't singing yet!

I think Russia doesn't like Hillary, and I can't blame them for that. I think it's more than possible that they did what they could to help, but the idea that Donald Trump's victory is owed to Russia is ridiculous I think.

 

[mikegriffith1]

What about the fact that the Russians also sponsored anti-Trump rallies? Did you miss that part?

Russian-Organized Rallies Cited as Part of Election Meddling

I don't doubt that some Russians did what they could to help Trump. Similarly, Hamas members in the U.S. did what they could to help Obama in 2008, even publishing pro-Obama editorials and bashing McCain at every opportunity. Palestinians in the U.S. likewise strongly backed Obama. Or, go back to 1988. Greek organizations in the U.S. exerted great effort to help Dukakis and to attack Bush Sr. But none of this proves "collusion."

Look what happened when part of the Russian-collusion case--the claims against Roger Stone--finally got in front of a decent judge: The Clinton-appointed judge threw out the case as "insubstantial," i.e., too flimsy to proceed.

And the same goes with trump colluding with Russian, it's all speculation at this point. There is no evidence to support that trump had colluded with Russian to win the election. That, however, doesnt matter, because in the eyes of the left, he is guilty, even the allegation without evidence was enough to convict him.

That is what I'm talking about. They have found more evidence against hillary than they have about trump, but that doesnt matter, hillary is automatically innocent or "they just made that up", but trump is automatically guilty when even an allegation is the only thing presented.
