They wanted Trump not Hillary. There was a winner and a loser during the election and you would be hard pressed to point to something that the Russians did that hurt Trump. Numerous undisclosed meetings with Russian actors that have come to light. And every time someone posts some new information about this investigation you give a "but Hillary" trying to say they both are "equal or what Hillary did was worse. It's what you do.
Its actually funny you think since Assange said "no" that it makes everything about the contact OK. It don't. Team Trump was never interested in actually obtaining stolen emails because there is absolutely nothing they could have done with them except leak it to oh lets say WikiLeaks. Breitbart couldn't even touch them. Yet you still want to equate working with a hostile adversary with working with an ally. Collusion with an ally is called cooperation. Cooperation with a hostile actor is called Collusion. And in order to influence or try to influence an election with unverified information, that information would have to be made public which nothing in the Dossier was. Not even the FBI hinted that this thing existed.
1. What Russia did that hurt Trump? They were key sources in the dossier that is being used as THE evidence Trump was in cahoots. It completely undermines Trump's legitimacy. Just because they preferred Trump to Hillary doesn't mean they want an effective Trump. The more damaged he is, the better their plan is working. Their entire involvement is to disrupt our democratic system - even the intel agencies acknowledge this.
2. We just had this major revelation about Clinton paying for the dossier so it is entirely relevant AND it is germane since we seem to have two standards for what counts as collusion - just pointing out if one is collusion the other is.
1. I never said it was OK because Assange said no. In fact I said it was shady as hell. What is relevant is that Trump did not obtain information from Assange so it's not the same as getting info from Russia.
2. Speaking of getting information from Russia - while Steele is a Brit (ally) his information came in large part directly from the Russian government (adversary). So the Clinton Team paid for information that came directly from the Russian government. Steele was the conduit for the information.
Take of the blinders man - If getting information from the Russian government to use in the election is wrong then one side tried and the other side succeeded. Both are wrong; one just did wrong better.
Given Russia pushed messages on both sides of the political spectrum I'm betting all sorts of political figures on both sides retweeted some.
The big question with Flynn (or anyone) would be did they know the information was from Russian trolls.
What? News links and **** posts about liberals? That's most of the content on this forum.
Although I guess it's possible that Freak might be a Russian operative too. Volprof got too close to the truth and was sent to the gulag.
