bostonlager 2,664 Posted May 30, 2019 Colluding with Russia - I don't care Colluding with arabs - I would be pissed but he still gets my vote. There is nothing Trump or any other republican could do that would force me to vote in another direction. I disagree with 95% of what democrats stand for and will never vote for one. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 14,994 Posted May 31, 2019 Saddens and angers me that Russia interfered in our election. Why didn't those in charge stop it? They knew it was happening and yet took no action. Is it possible they were compromised? Complicent? I search for a reason why this was allowed and I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone have a plausible explanation? I'm stumped.

Is your theory that Obama/Hillary conspired with Russia to help Trump win? What theory has been debunked? Mueller spoke in plain English the other day when he said that Russia infiltrated our election in an effort to damage Hillary Clinton. Which wasn't a shocking new revelation. 17 intelligence agencies knew that years ago. If it's a secret to you, it's because Hannity never told you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 641 Posted May 31, 2019 This is one of the saddest examples of flailing I have ever seen. And I didn't even accuse Trump of anything. Simply said the Russians wanted him to win. And infiltrated our election process to do so. Putin is on video standing at a podium admitting that he wanted Trump to win! lol All proven facts undisputed by even a single member of any of the intelligence agencies in the country. That part is the 'water is wet' part. Hasn't even been up for dispute in the past two years. But because fragile-ego Trump can never admit that he may have received help, all you sad little sheep have to follow him. You guys better pray he never goes on Hannity and tells you to drink cyanide Kool-Aid. You'd all do it in lockstep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was asked why they started the investigation on Trump. I answered. It was because it was discovered that the Russians were attempting to influence our election and it was in Trump's favor. Trump decides he doesn't like the investigation and fired James Comey. Goes on TV and tells Lester Holt that it was because of the whole Russia thing. He then needed to be investigated. The Trump Tower meeting with Russians and the Trump Tower Moscow project, which Trump denied and lied about, were discovered, thus enhancing reasons for him to be investigated. As for how many actual votes were changed, I have no idea. Nor have I ever claimed to. Nor is it even slightly relevant to the original question and answer of why Trump was investigated. So your 'gotcha' moment is really a dud. Sorry bro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
