Here’s The Latest Big News On Russia And The U.S. Election

And so it begins. This story on Huff has all the latest information on the Trump/Russia connection...very disturbing that a person like this could get even this close to the presidency. We seriously are dodging a bullet aimed for the heart of our Republic by a Nazi-like fascist (Trump).

Trump is just a "useful idiot", this is FRIGHTENING! I think part of the problem in the US is that people just can't imagine that we could EVER have a President under the influence of another country's despot.

But consider Trumps proclivities towards underage girls...they could use that...maybe a video. And of course he banks with Russia basically. I think Comey must know about some of this, and his actions are very disturbing to me

it would look like Hillary is going after her political opponents and sets a bad example for democracy.

Screw that - allowing a Russian puppet anywhere close to the White House is a far worse example.

about him then what they say about Obama...how many have called Putin a 'strong' leader. And look at the conservatives who go on RT. I think Trump went on too.

"Slate’s Franklin Foer spoke to nearly a dozen computer scientists about a strange connection
between a computer server tied to the Trump Organization that appeared to be communicating
with two others registered to a Russian entity called Alfa Bank. Alfa Bank was founded by a
Ukrainian oligarch with ties to Putin and has large investments in Uber and the U.S. health care
industry."

And they are talking about HRC's email server?

The Grand Old Racists are play the double standard to the point they don't care if they destroy our country. They truly don't give a shit, if they get a nice pay day for treason, then they will be happy thinking they were just doing what they had to do to" make it."

If the DOJ were to look into anything on Trump he's be thrown in prison.

There are 4 articles out on Russia & Donald Trump. One from slate, one from Mother Jones' and 2 others. I believe that one that talks about the server is from slate. By the way, the pushback coming from TNT article cited sources from Briebart.

basically, now anyone can make up shit and cite "anonymous sources in the FBI" or "FBI leak" and no one will know what is factual. Thank you, Director Comey for fucking things up to the nth degree.

I have never seen a rebuttal printed as fast as NYT's article that unnamed US Officals claim no connection between t-rump and Russia.

It was quick. I myself still believes Senator Reid.

No more than Trump's alleged rape of a child.

Even his sexual assault of women and refusal to release his tax returns have fallen off the radar.

The media is, for the most part, all about Clinton (staffer) emails and the tightening race.
