The Observer 641 Posted June 13, 2019 Just now, TimmySmith said: Totally agree. In theory a country could send millions of people here to support a certain party and that party could reciprocate with money directed to those people that actually finds it's way back to the country. In theory. Just remember, right now we have Russia doing everything to help Trump win. So this seems awesome. But it won't always work out in your favor. Maybe in the next election, China tells a Democratic candidate that it has some dirt on Trump. Or if it's 2024, dirt on Nikki Haley. You'd be cool with the Democrat promising to lift sanctions in return for this dirt? This is an important time in US history. We are now going to decide if we want other countries determining our leaders. Remember that and don't cry when it's not in your favor next time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,062 Posted June 13, 2019 I don’t believe Russians had anything to do with the election. I also don’t think Barry and Hilary are some super secret criminal cabal of murder and Dr Evil grand schemes lol. People have wild imaginations, in real life things are way more dull and unexciting than the conspiracies cook up. Trump won because he represented a change of attitude and direction the country wanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drobeski 3,061 Posted June 15, 2019 DOJ Admits FBI Never Saw Crowdstrike Report on DNC Russian Hacking Claim… Posted by sundance The foundation for the Russian election interference narrative is built on the claim of Russians hacking the servers of the Democrat National Committee (DNC), and subsequently releasing damaging emails that showed the DNC worked to help Hillary Clinton and eliminate Bernie Sanders. Despite the Russian ‘hacking’ claim the DOJ previously admitted the DNC would not let FBI investigators review the DNC server. Instead the DNC provided the FBI with analysis of a technical review done through a cyber-security contract with Crowdstrike. The narrative around the DNC hack claim was always sketchy; many people believe the DNC email data was downloaded onto a flash drive and leaked. In a court filing (full pdf below) the scale of sketchy has increased exponentially. Suspecting they could prove the Russian hacking claim was false, lawyers representing Roger Stone requested the full Crowdstrike report on the DNC hack. When the DOJ responded to the Stone motion they made a rather significant admission. Not only did the FBI not review the DNC server, the FBI/DOJ never even saw the Crowdstrike report. Yes, that is correct. The FBI and DOJ were only allowed to see a “draft” report prepared by Crowdstrike, and that report was redacted… and that redacted draft is the “last version of the report produced”; meaning, there are no unredacted & final versions. Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot! This means the FBI and DOJ, and all of the downstream claims by the intelligence apparatus; including the December 2016 Joint Analysis Report and January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, all the way to the Weissmann/Mueller report and the continued claims therein; were based on the official intelligence agencies of the U.S. government and the U.S. Department of Justice taking the word of a hired contractor for the Democrat party….. despite their inability to examine the server and/or actually see an unredacted technical forensic report from the investigating contractor. The entire apparatus of the U.S. government just took their word for it… …and used the claim therein as an official position…. …which led to a subsequent government claim, in court, of absolute certainty that Russia hacked the DNC. Think about that for a few minutes. The full intelligence apparatus of the United States government is relying on a report they have never even been allowed to see or confirm; that was created by a paid contractor for a political victim that would not allow the FBI to investigate their claim. The DNC server issue is foundation, and cornerstone, of the U.S. government’s position on “Russia hacking” and the election interference narrative; and that narrative is based on zero factual evidence to affirm the U.S. government’s position. …”the government does not need to prove at the defendant’s trial that the Russians hacked the DNC”… (pg 3) Ridiculous. You couldn’t make this nonsense up if you tried… Here’s the full filing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He could very well have issued a sealed indictment if he had found evidence of a crime. Which could then be unsealed and charges filed after Trump completes his term(s) He didn't find the evidence to support issuing an indictment, sealed or not.

The Observer 641 Posted June 17, 2019 Not Russia-related, but didn't want to start a new thread. Not liking the results he was seeing from Rasmussen, CNN, Gallup, etc., Trump's administration hired its own pollsters to conduct polls to see how Trump is stacking up against Biden and some other candidates in various states. As anyone with a brain could have predicted, the polls came back showing the same results. That Trump was losing many of the battleground states that won him the electoral votes in 2016. Instead of making the decision to make adjustments and expand to simply playing to his base, Trump decided to fire the pollsters. I wonder if there's a single person left in the White House who is allowed to give Trump advice or question his moves. It sure doesn't seem it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 14,992 Posted June 17, 2019 The one poll had Trump behind Biden by 10 points in Florida. Anyone with a clue knows that's impossible. Behind in the mid-west? Sure.
