Read and React Request for those still Believing Russiagate

[RockyTop85]

But the report doesn't prove anything, it's just a bunch of additional unproven assertions. There are even Repubs out there calling it a nothing burger. More importantly, you know what he didn't say, that the FBI did anything illegal in investigating the alleged contacts.

The DOJ Inspector General (Horowitz) who investigated this said it was not improper to use the procedure the FBI followed. The dispute Durham has with that is he believed the initial response to the Ambassador's report should have been a preliminary investigation instead of the full investigation the FBI did.

Durham actually contacted Horowitz and requested he not say the full investigation was merited. Horowitz refused. Since then Durham has admitted that the full investigation was procedurally acceptable and not illegal.

If anything illegal had been done, Durham might have won his two cases.

“Doesn’t prove anything we didn’t already know” might be a better phrasing. There is some legit bad, provable stuff in there. (E.g. Kevin Clinesmith). It just was all in the public record.

There were numerous ties between Trump and the Trump campaign and Russia during the '16 campaign and during the Trump
presidency. This is why trump was a treasonous president.

1) Trump has long had a boner for Putin. FACT.

2) Trump's campaign chief, Manafort, worked for a Russian oligarch and for a former pro-Russian Ukrainian president--and he shared
'16 campaign information with a Russian operative. Manafort was later convicted of multiple felony crimes and went to prison. FACT.

3) Trump campaign officials--including Manafort and Trump Jr. --met with a female Russian operative at Trump Tower during the campaign
and then tried to cover up the meeting. FACT.

4) Trump, at a campaign appearance, asked Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's emais. FACT.

5) Trump repeatedly refused to acknowledge that Russia interfered in the '16 election despite U.S. intelligence agencies repeatedly telling him
that that there had been significant Russian interference. That is an established fact. He notoriously stood up at a summit press conference with Putin and asserted that he believed Putin's denial of interference---a massive U.S. embarrassment and an essentially treasonous comment. FACT.

6) Trump vigorously tried to set up a major property deal in Moscow right up until election day. Trump claimed that he'd stopped
the effort months before--but that was a lie. Trump's former lawyer, Cohen, who was the gangster's point man on the project, released a series
of emails showing that the gangster harangued him for weeks/months to get the deal done, almost up until election day. FACT.

7) Wealthy Russian mobsters helped bail out Trump's property business by buying Trump condos in various locations. Trump Jr. is on tape
a few years back acknowledging that Russians had bought many Trump properties. FACT. Indeed, this week the FBI raided two Trump condos owned by Russians in Florida. The two Russians were later arrested in Phoenix for selling airplane parts to Russian airlines in violation of American sanctions on Russia.

8) From Slate: "The Washington Post’s Greg Miller reported Sunday that President Donald Trump’s confiscation of the translator’s notes from a one-on-one conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2017 was “unusual.” This is incorrect. It was unprecedented. There is nothing like it in the annals of presidential history. It is also truly unusual that Trump failed to bring in a note taker, along with his translator, during his meetings with Putin, as almost every other president has done when meeting with foreign heads of state since the end of World War II. Usually the note taker is an official or aide with deep background in the subject under discussion." FACT. Why no note-taker or no notes?

9) Trump campaign officials--no doubt at the gangster's urging--stripped language from the GOP election platform in '16 pledging U.S. military aid to Ukraine. FACT.

10) Trump, over the last two years, has on multiple occasions praised Putin for being "smart" and "savvy." Putin, let's remind everyone, is America's chief adversary and a war criminal. FACT.

11) As president, Trump once floated the possibility of the U.S. leaving NATO. That was essentially a treasonous thought as breaking up NATO has long been a massive Putin foreign-policy goal/wet dream. There is only one person who would have put that idea in the gangster's head, and he's in Moscow. FACT.

12) Right after the gangster's inauguration, Jared Kushner spoke to the Russian ambassador to the United States about setting up a secret communications back channel between the ambassador and the White House. Fortunately, U.S. intelligence captured the conversation, and the attempt was made public. FACT

This is why there was an investigation of possible Trump/Russia collusion. There was every reason to do so. There might not have been official campaign collusion with Russia, but the gangster has had his nose in Putin's anus for years. That's a big, fat Cracker Barrel FACT for MAGA to chew on.

Hard hitting and devastating evidence. I stopped at number 1
1) Trump has long had a boner for Putin. FACT.

All those things are nothing burgers and not worthy of a $40 million 3 yr investigation

As Adam Schiff leads Democrats trying to downplay Durham report - DailyMail.com reveals how it depicts HIS staffer trying to Strong-Arm a Researcher into probing nonsensical Trump-Russia claims

New revelations have continued to emerge since Monday's release of Special Counsel John Durham's 300-page report following his four-year $6.5 million investigation that concluded the FBI 'failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law.'

Buried inside the dense document, which blasts the FBI for opening a full-blown investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign based on 'raw' intelligence tips, are insights into how the Russia probe got started, and links between people in Hillary Clinton's orbit and the stream of information on Trump's Russia contacts.

It also points out what Durham calls an unfair discrepancy: why the Trump camp didn't get a 'defensive briefing' on Russia's efforts to influence his campaign when the FBI did provide a briefing to Clinton when a foreign actor sought to influence hers.

California Rep. Adam Schiff (D) blasted the Durham report as 'four years of wasted effort.' A passage deep in the report says that a university researcher felt threatened after a meeting with his staff member who wanted an inquiry into an article about Trump-Russia lead

I’ll bring the “Big Tits Campfire Ale”!!!

"THE BEER WITH THE FOAM ON THE BOTTOM" - actually saw this stuff in a PA store years ago.

Ha: They're very significant. The Russia investigation was fully justified.

 

[WBO]

They created a conspiracy from a fake tape resulting in wire tapping, the Mueller investigation , and ****ing lied to the FISA court.
Asserting facts my ass,,

Please prove each of those things occurred and not just claimed by OAN.

 

[Sea Ray]

Ha: They're very significant. The Russia investigation was fully justified.

The investigation found no Russian collusion

 

[hog88]

The investigation found no Russian collusion

It also found that no US citizens committed a crime in regards to Russia or the 2016 elections

 

[turbovol]

There were sketchy links--as outlined--between the gangster and other trump campaign officials and Russia/russian operatives. That no outright
collusion was found does not mean that trump didn't have a boner for America's chief adversary--and it was even more evident after he became president. (And of course he still has it--must be the Viagra.) That treasonous turn of mind should be extremely disturbing to all Americans--especially people who have claimed to be "patriots," but then politics has warped the brains and the patriotism of Maga and the GOP, as we saw clearly after Jan. 6. Trump's dirty--and as president he wanted to be Putin's butt boy. FACT.

"We’ve been reminded once again this week that Republicans have never been angry at Russia for attacking our 2016 election. They’ve only been angry at our FBI for investigating the attack. Think about that. Russia attacks us, and Republicans go after our FBI for investigating it."

 

[Majors]

Why isn't this front page news? This is a far far greater threat to our democracy than Jan 6th

Because the democrats control the media narrative, Republican fall more in with reality. Media manipulation is more of threat to democracy than anything the left is trying to distract us with. Believe what you see and not what you’re told is a good philosophy.

Joe Walsh tries at least

Short term IL Rep.
Foreclosure of a condo a decade ago
Married twice
Been deemed xenophobic with his comments about Muslims
Fired for racial slurs
Commented about his racist comments on Twitter but doesn’t believe he is racist

anyone following Walsh needs to check his motive. Stay relevant by trying daily to attack Trump. Another reason his following is limited.

More than a troll Hog. A troll just wants to piss you off. I love to piss everyone off by asserting the facts.

You on the other hand have the consistency of hating everyone. But you do stick with it and don't make exceptions for one side over the other.

When you come up with some facts please let us all know

So now Russia is the USA’s chief adversary? I remember when Governor Romney made that claim in October 2012 he was pilloried by everyone from Barack Obama to all the talking heads on cable news.
