Wilber Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 This administration is shooting ducks in a barrel for Russian intelligence agencies. People who actually know what they are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used what Hillary did do, didn't do, would have done or might have done in any discussion about what Trump has done. But, but Hillary, but but Obama is the Trump supporters game. Trump isn't responsible for anything and can never be. If Trump takes us into a nuclear war in 2023 it would still be Hillary's fault even though she hadn't been in government for 11 years.

Hal 9000 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 What I'm saying is that there is nothing wrong and certainly nothing illegal about that meeting.  If anything, there is evidence that junior thought the Russia might be helping Hillary.  And, why would junior, after the meeting think that Russia was interferring with anything?  Indications are, that they went to the meeting to hear something, and realized that there was nothing except a possible a scam.  They left it at that and thought nothing more of the issue. I'm sure the Trumps deal with people lying to get a few minutes in the boardroom all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously. The US government accepts it. The US congress accepts it, including the Republicans. Virtually everyone on the planet accepts that now, and every government, except for the Russians, and the Trump family and their cult-like following.

Â What kind of society are we building that it becomes a crime to go to a meeting where nothing is said? Most of us realize that the Trumps lie about anything they can. He couldn't lie about the meeting or the email because the media had them. But he's lying about what happened at the meeting. What probably happened at that meeting is that the Russian agent laid out what they would do on Trump's behalf, and what they expected from Trump in return, and the Trump people agreed to it. Shortly thereafter, the Russians started releasing information about Clinton they had hacked, and began their fake news campaign against her.

I'm sure the Trumps deal with people lying to get a few minutes in the boardroom all the time. It probably was illegal but I doubt it was treasonous.  Quote President Donald Trump previewed a 'major speech' attacking Hillary Clinton last June, just hours after his son, Donald Trump Jr, set up a meeting with a Russian lawyer he was told had damaging information about the Democratic candidate. In a speech on June 7, 2016, Trump said that 'probably Monday of next week' he would deliver a 'major speech' featuring a discussion of 'all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons'. The speech came just four days after Trump Jr was contacted by publicist Rob Goldstone, who claims that he has information obtained by the Russian government that he said would incriminate Clinton.

Clearly you'll always believe whatever Russia says   I asked you to name the fake news 17 Government agencies that all agreed that Russia hacked the election.  You can't name them because it's fake news that was passed around like a joint by lefties getting a buzz.  The New York Times, that bastion of Leftist thought and the one leading the charge against Trump, finally crumbled.  They recanted their lies about 17 agencies almost 2 weeks ago, and now admit it was only 4, not 17.  But like I said, to the left, the facts don't matter.  It's going to be torture for them the rest of the term, and they deserve it. I'm sure the SCOTUS recent decision freaked them out.  I'm sure the Syrian ceasefire freaked them out.  I'm sure the recent good jobs report freaked them out.  Here's  a stock tip.  Buy into the drug company that makes valium.

sharkman Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) The New York Times. Quote referred incorrectly to the source of an intelligence assessment that said Russia orchestrated hacking attacks during last year’s presidential election. The assessment was made by four intelligence agencies — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community.  Edited July 13, 2017 by sharkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
