    Have you cultists even read the indictment? I take it by 90% of the comments you have not, most of your questions are answered there.

    Why is it so hard for some people to understand what Mueller is actually investigating?

    it still makes me chuckle that the self-appointed smartest people in any room can't conceptualize Hillary losing unless she was somehow cheated...

    even after losing the US House, the US Senate, and a thousand other seats of power across the Fruited Plains....

    yep, it just caught them off guard...totally unexpected!

    hehehe.

    Among other things, top U.S. intelligence officials — including then-CIA Director John Brennan — privately warned their Russian counterparts not to persist with their active measures. Obama himself told Russian President Vladimir Putin not to interfere in the election.

    Obama administration officials also told reporters on background that Russian intelligence operatives were behind the cyberattacks that led to the release of emails stolen from political figures and institutions. Later, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson formally blamed the Russian government

    He also warned state election commissions to tighten up security and to keep machines off the internet. Probably saved a real mess.

    What's Trump done?

    Besides watching the Helsinki press conference, was counting my money from the stock market, my retirement fund is up 60 percent since Obama left office. I'm wondering how many great conservative decisions will be coming out of the Supreme Court for the next 20 years. CRY LIBERALS CRY

    When Trump said in the press conference that he asked Putin and he firmly denied it I just started laughing. The guy is a complete fraud and embarrassment.

    That amounts to a claim we spy on Russia and they on us. Gee whiz. We have long known this.

    It's a sad day for America.
    It could not have been much worse unless Trump started to cry.

    Not at all. I'm saying at this particular point in time, that's the least important component of this to press on. The fact that you and many others seem hell-bent on laser focusing on that with blinders against anything else is concerning at minimum.

    Rep. Trey Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican who was among the Republicans leading last week's sharply partisan hearing of FBI agent Peter Strzok, made clear Monday he did not see Russia as a US ally.

    "I am confident former CIA Director and current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, DNI Dan Coats, Ambassador Nikki Haley, FBI Director Chris Wray, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and others will be able to communicate to the President it is possible to conclude Russia interfered with our election in 2016 without delegitimizing his electoral success," Gowdy said in a statement.
    https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/16/politics/congress-reaction-trump-putin-comments/index.html

    Best-case scenario for Trump behaving as he has been -- he is concerned about his electoral victory being delegitimized by an acknowledgment of Russian interference in our electoral process. Even then, he is placing his personal interests above national interests, above national security, and so is violating his presidential oath. Impeachment time NOW.

    and what are you going to say during the next market crash?
    You think it might not be such a good idea to tie your retirement to a system that took a 4% dip due to a hacked twitter account?

    Why should someone cry over you having a nice retirement fund? Good for you.

    They are trying to blame Obama for something that was in the early stages of investigating but now that the investigation is turning up real Russian influence they now deny it. They are so partisan they can't even see their blatant hypocrisy.

    I guess it means they believe Strzok. After all he firmly denied bias. Where is the defense of Strzok, he said he wasn't biased.

    Should Obama have called Zuckerberg and told him to ban the Russians from Facebook?

    Gowdy is confident they can do something that they haven’t been able to do in 18 months. He’s a moron but at least he’s not a traitor.
