I'm so obsessed with this scandal that I'm getting where I can pronounce these Russian names on the first try

2. I agree

It is scary yet like I said to my wife we're witnessing history I recorded CNN so we could watch wolfs interview with nunes which turned into wolf soft balling nunes then as we're recording nunes we have Greta on MSNBC then we watch wolf interview as we're recording Chris Matthews we to are obsessed

3. I'm more than a bit contrarian on this whole issue

I think it is far beyond overblown to the point of being dangerous. tRump and all the people associated with the administration mentioned so far probably do have ties to Russia but I would bet dollars to doughnuts they are all for their personal financial gain with no nefarious political goal.
The information provided so far that meets my evidentiary standard leads me to believe that is most likely the case. Does this make them the subject of possible coercion? Absolutely! Is their any reason to expect that another countries leader would not try to influence the leadership of another country who is a proven adversary? Of course not.

When considered in the broader context, we hold no moral authority to condemn another country to influence our elections given our well documented record of doing the same.

I am stunned beyond belief that he was ever considered a viable candidate but given the state of the dominant media I should not be surprised, but then again we elected Reagan.

4. If, and that's a big if, the investigaters are able to see the tax returns all bets are off.

6. I think that finance is the motive, yes

and that following the money is the key to unlocking all of this.

I basically believe that Trump is damn near broke and in hck to the Russians and a lot of this is a way to pay the Russian oligarchs and Putin back what he owes them.

8. I don't think it is overblown - trading a percentage of an oil company for lifting sanctions,

possibly blackmail with underage girls (something Russia is known to do and it's so so easy for them to do), messing with the election, money laundering, etc. etc.

5. Got to find out someday about all those Russians kicked out of USA with 72 hour notice, armed guards

escorted them to airports. We haven't found out why that happened, yet. s

IMO, has something to do with "Russian pension checks" millions in money Russia sends to USA used for- ????
