2. But treason no longer matters if you are a republican.

[raven mad]

24. Voting Republican automatically qualifies as treasonous. n/t

[triron]

28. Clearly treason, though perhaps not via statute but satisfies definition

Why are so many afrais to say it. Damn it they all belong in jail not in the the WH. Thant includes Trump, Pence, Sessions, Kushner, and several others.

3. To reiterate (one more, again): the lefty rag WSJ ended this article with the following summation:

In June 2016, officials at the Democratic National Committee revealed that their computer networks had been penetrated by hackers, whom the FBI and intelligence agencies later determined worked for the Russian intelligence services. Emails taken in those incursions subsequently were published by WikiLeaks, and in October, the site released emails that had been stolen from Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta.

At that point, intelligence officials had little doubt that the Russian government was attempting to interfere in the presidential elections. By the end of 2016, they concluded publicly that the Russian hacking campaign was meant to undermine Mrs. Clinton and help Mr. Trump.

8. And yet, not a damn thing was done about it. The election went on without a peep

of protest from anyone, and all of use were just supposed to accept that Trump "won." I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

12. And it's mind- boggling that Comey knew this

And yet trashed HRC right before the election.

[Neema]

26. It's all mind-boggling. I feel like so many people knew at least some of what was going on

(Republicans and Dems alike) and they did nothing, said nothing. I can't figure out why.

[triron]

29. As did Obama.

[SayItLoud]

16. And drip drip drip...

Stone teased "something BIG coming" (days later it did)

Trump teased "hope they hack her emails" (they already had)

Trump teased "something big is going to be released" (and his Junior met with Russians hoping...)

If anyone believes that the old fart wasn't orchestrating this then they are as delusional as he now has become.

Follow the money. Impeachment we still have to guard that F'er for life; money laundering, RICO, fraud bank loans the Penal system will guard his ass for 20 years or until he goes to meet his maker. (the thing far below the devil that only a few get to meet...)

[KentuckyWoman]

25. There is not one single chance in hell any Trump will go to jail.

Impeachment is a LONG shot at best.

Don't hold your breath.

I've seen way too much shit from government in my 70 something years to think anything other than the powers that be all wanted Herr Hair and his dancing elephant act in office. There is no telling what putrid vile skank they are doing behind the scenes.

We may not know for decades.

[Neema]

27. Sadly, I agree with you.

None of them will pay. I only hope we can survive this.

4. One paragraph stands out to me.

Then, in the spring of 2016, U.S. intelligence officials’ suspicions about Russian meddling in the election grew after their counterparts in Europe warned that Russian money might be flowing into the presidential election, according to officials with knowledge of the warning. It remains unknown if or whether those funds were funneled to a particular campaign or to others to spend it on behalf of candidates.

I hope they are looking into Super PACs, in particular Paul Ryan's and Mitch McConnell's.

[volstork]

5. "I hope they are looking into Super PACs, in particular Paul Ryan's and Mitch McConnell's."

Yes. This is part of the key. Those f**ckers knew that the fix was in-- because THEY were in on it-- and acted accordingly with regard topology and SCOTUS. They all need to rot in jail.

[Duppers]

13. Exactly! nt

[Leghorn21]

17. Agreed!!! - except, I want them "to rot in PRISON", volstork!! eom

[volstork]

21. True.

Mea culpa!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. I strongly believe Russian money helped guide Trump through the GOP primaries.

There was a lot of the same bullshit disinformation being shared over social media about Trump's GOP opponents as what would be lobbed against Hillary. We just weren't paying as close attention because it wasn't against us and face it, Ted Cruz was a douchebag anyways.

But I remember weird sites pushing massive amounts of Trump propaganda to gullible Republican voters. Like the site run by "Gary Forbes", who was retweeted by prominent far-right conservative figures all over (like Ann Coulter) and even by Trump himself. I'm pretty sure that a failed out of work new-age pianist/inspiration speaker/self-help writer named Gary Pasquariello (the real name of "Gary Forbes&quot probably didn't have the funds to run such a massive social media campaign on his own.

[physioex]

9. Yep....

Yep we know about the DNC hacking, what happened with the RNC & Trump is still a mystery. Cuz we know Putin doesn't care about 'parties'....

[kerry-is-my-prez]

20. Also, that rag the National Enquirer.

[Skittles]

7. and all this was known while they were screaming about Hillary's emails

WHAT THE FUCK

[Gothmog]

10. Trumps caught in yet more lies

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Yes. I feel they were seeding the media for a couple of years beforehand

We all heard things that made no sense ... the two parties are the same, Hillary is as corrupt as any Republican, the Clinton Foundation is tied into many foreign governments, Benghazi!, emails! .... it began about 2013 ... if not before


These ideas leaked, floated, pushed by the press for whatever reason didn't come from nowhere ... someone was behind it with
an agenda ... a goal ... a political or economic policy that would benefit them and not the masses

Squeaky wheel gets the grease, grea$e makes the machinery go, it doesn't just happen out of nowhere

Common people have to fight for every inch! Make sure you understand that.

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. Wikileaks and Greenwald were ALWAYS Russian front operations

[renegade000]

30. They worked to discredit the NSA early on with Wikileaks...

Because they knew SIGINT was a big obstacle to any such schemes.

[orangecrush]

14. Kick

15. Democrats to sue Trump:

19. Republicans traitors should be locked up

To protect America from the Russian catch up one, that the Republicans are covering up.

[bora13]

22. nice

couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch.
Unless that bunch was pre - Nov 8 2016.

23. For those behind the paywall I have a link which may work.

It worked for me and I hope it does for others.
