The arrest of an alleged Russian suspected of hacking. *sigh* Let me go ahead and do this for you. Alleged - (of an incident or a person) said, without proof, to have taken place or to have a specified illegal or undesirable quality. Suspected - doubt the genuineness or truth of.
All that is secret, won't tell you or Congress or anyone else. You are just supposed to believe anything they tell you. If they tell you there is a good reason to go to war, you are just supposed to agree and demand we go to war. Whatever anyone in the "intelligence community" says you are to believe. You don't even need to know who in the intelligence community said it. For example, when the intelligence community said N. Vietnam attacked a US destroyer we were supposed to believe and demand we send millions of Americans to Vietnam. That long after the Vietnam war ended and we were told that actually in never happened is irrelevant. It is also irrelevant that they falsely told us that the Spanish sunk the USN Maine battleship to justify war with Spain, that they falsely told us Iran had WMDs to justify going to war again against Iran, and falsely told us that the Luisitannia was not a weapons transport ship - justifying our getting into WW1. Thus, later learning that the Spanish did not sink the Maine, the Luisitannia was a weapons transport ship, Iran did not have WMDs, and N. Vietnam did not attack a US Navy ship are all irrelevant because truth is irrelevant. Either you are a loyal citizen who will agree to anything the "intelligence community" wants - or you are a damn traitor. If an unnamed someone allegedly said that a Russian in Spain supposedly tried to hack the DNC acting in collusion with President Trump that is all you need to know to go to war against Russia and impeach Trump. Providing any actual evidence would divulge secret information so no proof ever dare be presented.
What was the point of quoting that portion of the report? Would you like to see the unclassified version of the Report would that make you more likely to believe their conclusion?
Really? An A+? Was it the TrumpCare health law that didn't pass the House despite having the "1000% support" from the President? Was it the first or second Immigration Ban, both of which were suspended indefinitely because they were unconstitutional? Or the budget proposal that's dead on arrival? Or the missile strike on the ruler of the country which is currently hosting the most complex civil war, a strike that resulted in an airbase being inoperative for two days and a strike that helps ISIS - all of this despite campaigning on a platform of not being the police presence of the world? What would you include on his list of legislative accomplishments?
Then let's focus on the most important "landslide." If I wanted to rank his margin of victory, based on electoral votes, against all U.S. Presidents - where would he rank?
I don't know and I don't care. A landslide victory is a landslide victory, especially when the entire country was told that the other man would win by a landslide.
I said he won by a landslide, not that he won by the biggest landslide ever. I don't care what the margin was, it was still a landslide.
Except BBC posted click bait. He wasn't arrested for "election hacking". He was arrested on a preexisting finical fraud warrant. See how fake news works?
Does the word "landslide" lose its meaning when its applied to someone who ranks 45 out of a possible 57?
I can see how you'd like to apply the label to stories you perceive as negative. The BBC did not report that he was detained because of election hacking. The BBC reported that a person deemed of interest to the election hacking story was detained, but did not specify the reason for which he was detained. Do you argue that he is not a person of interest to the election hacking story?
Let me stop you right there and direct you to the articles title: Russian arrested in Spain 'over US election hacking' You were saying ...?
Sorry. You're right. But now I have to question your source. I translated the original spanish website and it seems to support the BBC's reporting. https://translate.google.com/transl...dad/1491817347_950293.html&edit-text=&act=url
When I googled Pyotr Levashov + warrant, the phrase "financial fraud network" keeps coming up as the reason for the US involvement in the "international warrant".
my default is to believe us intelligence over russia and if you had one iota of loyalty to this nation, we wouldnt be having this conversation.
trump supporters no longer have the right to call obviously trump supporters prefer russia over the us
Who is "we"? Are you somehow involved in stealing private communications and using them for political gain? Also, in case you were on another planet at the time, the MSM reported widely about the stolen information from the DNC and Podesta. The stolen and leaked DNC transcripts were very damaging to Clinton as it kept many Democrats who supported Bernie Saunders from supporting Clinton which is probably a key factor in Trump's narrow victory. Now we all look forward to as much stolen and leaked information which will expose sleaze and illegality in the GOP and the Trump Campaign. Good for the goose, good for the gander...Bring out the dirt!
No more than victory losing its meaning if you win by an inch or a mile. Trump beat your man by 77 electoral votes, 3,112 Counties, 137 Metros, 10 states, and Lord knows how many more cities...
