Nope. I think Trump was delighted with the guy who helped make him president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it seems preety clear there is nothing to the collusion Doesn't seem clear to me. Seems odd to me that everyone around Trump has been in contact with the Russians, even his lawyer.

Geez, you really are going to have to layoff of all this hysterics that is constantly being drummed up by the DNC losers, and that fake liberal media. Trump is clean.

Indeed, as there are a lot more Canadian government ministers and lobbyists talking to American politicians and corporations to try and influence U.S policies. Been doing it for a long time. Russia is a large country with a military and economic impact on allies that is far greater than Canada's. Talking to Russians is better than fighting Russians on the battlefield.

Omni Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Lets ger Trump under oath and in front of congress and see what he has to say. I assume he understands the concept, but I'm not so sure since he has demonstrated himself to be quite a liar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal 9000 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 It's a sad state of affairs when instead of seeing a possible crime and having an investigation, the government has an investigation with the hope that a crime gets committed in the process. That's political sleeze at it's worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he said that, however - and I'll slow it down a bit for you, the threat of tapes makes Comey more honest in his testimony - just in case. IOW, he has to say things that he may not otherwise say - get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she tell him to stop the investigation? I mean, it was in the run-up to the election. By their own rules he wasn't supposed to be saying a single damned thing about an ongoing investigation to the media or anyone else outside the FBI.

Not one of the people on his team was a US government official. Not one was a diplomat of any sort. Not one was or had ever been attached to the State Department. You could make the case that Sessions as a senator could have a reason to talk to the Russians, but that's it. Why was his son in law talking to them? According to Trump the family has no business with the Russians. Edited June 10, 2017 by Argus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's political sleeze at it's worst. This might surprise you but generally things do get investigated before charges are laid - unless they catch you red-handed. Here's something else you seem to have forgotten, though it was in the news a while back. It is against the law for a non-government official to negotiate with a foreign power. For example, if anyone on the Trump team, including Trump, told the Russians not to worry about that estate seized by the government for espionage, that they'd get it back when Trump got elected, that would be a federal crime.
