Rudy Says The Info Trump Campaign Got From Russia Was A Gift....

and their is nothing illegal about accepting a gift. He goes on to say that they never used the info.

How are we supposed to believe that they never used it? Why would Donald Jr go out of his way to solicit dirt on Hillary - if there never was intention to use it? Just doesn't make sense and is not believable. Especially from this group that every time they open their mouth the lie.

2. A gift? It should have been reported, then, just like

if they sent a $100,000,000 and the campaign only used a fourth of it.

He sounds like he knows that most people ain't buying what he's selling, so he keeps changing the story to fit the latest indictment, or leak, or newspaper article.

Even though there was little doubt, he basically admitted that there was collusion.

Trump said there was no contact. Jr. said there was contact but he got nada. Now Rudy says Everything was a gift from Russia.


So money and CA and DNC server hacks and Wikileaks and $$$$to NRA, etc. were all gifts......that were never knowingly used to help Trump's campaign? Hahahahaha

So he was duped by Russia and is now being blackmailed to destroy the USA by Russia

Romans 6:21
What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!


Yep... that the penalty for High Crimes and Treason... It would be better for America and American People if our Justice System hands out the correct punishment.

14. Guess he's trying to soften the base, by pushing a narrative to frame their collusion as being less

than it actually is.... because they know their hard core base will fall for it.

Thank goodness for people who are not gullible to fall for his game.... and will hold them to the fire, it'd be better if it got the whole Trump Regime and Many Republicans lined up before a firing squad.

TREASON.....

and... a non office holding groups of citizens (Trump's Campaign Members and Associates) collaborating with a foreign adversary... before he was placed in office = CRIME AGAINST AMERICA.

12. A "gift" is a Campaign Contribution."

Plain and simple.

Under the law there are cash contributions.

Under the law there are also "In Kind" contributions which must be valued and reported.

Only an American citizen can contribute to a political campaign.

As usual Ghouliani is crazy.

13. The more he talks... the more he exposes the truth, of which we've been addressing...

Thank goodness his concept of wisdom is in fact... the foolishness that's needed.. to keep exposing the collusion and traitorous stuff we've been saying. They continue to outsmart themselves.... with their ducking a dodging games. We just need to find means at this time to prohibit them from passing any more bills and further damaging American policy.

Next, let him tell us more about the "money spins" and how "dirty money for selling out America" is just the nature and manner of Trumps Business.

It continues to show, our system has begin to simply accept anything, because Republicans continue to dominate the public media narrative of discussion. If we can get media mouthpieces that expound more and more and more daily about what is treachery, what is a traitor, what penalty a traitor should get by law... and show how corrupt and vile in every manner these destroyers of American Democracy are.... Then maybe we can take down the whole Confederate Aspiring Republican Regime, who have insulted everything about American Governance.
