wiffleball 4,655 Posted March 20, 2017 No matter what 'side' you're on, just consider this: If Trump hadn't posted that ridiculous, unsupported, absolutely retarded series of Tweets about how "sick" "bad" Obama wiretapped him, these public hearings probably wouldn't even be occurring. Now, this hearing is going to expand to Manafort, Flynn, Stone, etc. And the only two people STILL maintaining those tweets weren't complete horseshiit? Trump and Spicer. And remember kids; This was just the House Committee. Sure as shiit the Senate's gonna want their bite of the apple too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,655 Posted March 20, 2017 To me, the most compelling and damning aspect I learned from these hearings today (so far) is that Roger Stone repeatedly telegraphed exactly who was going to be leaked about (Podesta) and what was going to be leaked. Unless you're living in complete denial of logic and reason (aka Trump/Spicer) , that right there is proof of collusion. At a minimum between Gucifer2 (subsequently revealed to be a Russian Hacker) and Stone. So, the guy either eats the bullet and somehow tries to claim that he acted completely independently, or they offer him immunity and he fesses up to his obvious and previously revealed relationship with Manafort / Trump. Stone seriously focked up by getting cocky and telegraphing that he knew what was going to be leaked against the Dems - BEFORE the leaks occurred. Then? G2 revealed to be a Russian hacker. - All while working for Trump's Campaign Manager. Shiit, doesn't take much more to fill in those blanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 720 Posted March 20, 2017 Clapper apparently released a statement to NBC News that his earlier statement that he had i evidence of collusion was not up to date information. And there may be information he had not seen. Note too...for the slow here...that he never claimed there was no information or no collusion...but that he didn't have evidence.

wiffleball 4,655 Posted March 20, 2017 I also hadn't known that, shortly after a Trumper met with A Ruskie at the Convention, the party platform had some strong language regarding Russia withdrawn . - Only heard bits and pieces of that. Not that Trump is capable of regret, but if he were, you'd have to think that he'd be second-guessing those dumb tweets after today's public revelations. Really, all he had to do - and he had plenty of chances - was just cut the bleeding. "I respect the findings of___________ and look forward to pursuing our agenda..."

Cdub100 3,409 Posted March 20, 2017 I still can't believe you idiots blame Russia for exposing the corruption. You're more mad at wiki leaks for exposing it than at the corruption itself. Just think about that for a second. It's really sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's probably met with every single one of them. Which Dems met with him in private and lied about it?Do you understand the difference between sitting members of congress and the president meeting with an ambassador and campaign officials meeting with him and lying about it? Flynn lied about discussing sanctions (that he wasn't,by law, allowed to discuss) Sessions was paid by the campaign to meet with the ambassador...not as a member of a congressional committee And then he lied about it. Hypocrisy would suggest people did the same things...not people that did far different things. Also...this deflection has been discussed and easily dismissed already. You should try harder...

mighty_thor 115 Posted March 21, 2017 COMEY: Again, I think it's too close related sides of the same coin. I mean, to put it in a homely metaphor, I hate the New England Patriots and no matter who they play, I'd like them to lose. And so I'm at the same time rooting against the Patriots and hoping their opponent beats them. Because only two teams on the field but what the intelligence community concluded was early on, the hatred for Mrs. Clinton was -- was all the way along. When Mr. Trump became the nominee, there was some sense that it'd be great if he could win, be great if we could help him. But we need to hurt her to matter what and then it shifted to he has no chance so let's just focus on undermining her. That was the judgment of the intelligence community. The Patriots are even in the heads of the FBI! Can't we just replace Trump with Belichick and solve everything wrong in the world? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,921 Posted March 21, 2017 I don't really give a fvck all about Russia unless / until there's conclusive evidence that they were in collusion with the Trump campaign. The fact that Trump threw his wiretapping claim out there with no supporting evidence, creating a complete fvcking circus and wasting millions of dollars in the process, is a total disgrace to anyone but the most committed Trump ass boys.

He has a past history of doing it and why wouldn't he? I would be surprised if he wasn't being surveilled in some fashion.

See the alleged rape charge against him. Those most affected by Wikileaks data dumps run to character assassinate Assange in hopes that it will somehow discredit the released information. It then becomes familiar rhetoric: You're going to side with a rapist anti-American over country. If you're not with us you're against us. Etc.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
