Why isn't this being covered in the mainstream? Has he bullied them into submission already? What price the 1st amendment?


The statement came from Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who said in an interview with the state-run Interfax news agency that "there were contacts" with the Trump team. "Obviously, we know most of the people from his entourage," Ryabkov said. "We have just begun to consider ways of building dialogue with the future Donald Trump administration and channels we will be using for those purposes," Ryabkov was quoted as saying. Ryabkov provided no further details, and his remarks drew a swift denial from Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks, who said the campaign had "no contact with Russian officials" before Tuesday's election.


That Putin's Government Spoke to the Trump Campaign Should Be Dominating the News Cycle

This means the U.S. and Russia will work together in stabilizing the middle east. Good work Trump in forging reliable allies! Not like those feckless and cowardly Europeans. I'm glad to see Trump is forging allies that actually give a damn.

Again with the first amendment? How is your press and social media doing with free speech?

I think it is safer with him than Hillary.
 
Hillary's anti-Russia rhetoric was actually making me a bit nervous. I really, REALLY don't want to have another cold war. I was a kid during the last one and it stressed me out. Now I have kids of my own. So if Russia likes Trump that is just fine in my book. And the fact is Russia couldn't have leaked that damning information if the Democrats had never done those things.

Hillary would be fooled into giving our national secrets to a Nigerian prince or put national secrets on an unsecured location.

Yeah he doesn't need the money. Now that Hillary cannot sell access to the wall street elite, how is she and her damaged goods husband going to maintain the cash flow they have fought so hard to create? Trump's probably going to LOSE money running and being president: Hillary losing means she and her husband are going to take an incredible beating in their economic value

There are food stamps, the Clintons will get by. And as I have said before there is always "Dancing with the Stars" for both Bill and Hillary.

Because...

Russia Reached Out to Trump, Clinton Camps During Election - Bloomberg.com

"Ryabkov said the talks were “part of routine everyday work.” There was also “sporadic” contact with the Clinton team, though it was “not always productive,” he said. Calls to members of Clinton’s former campaign team for comment weren’t immediately returned."

This is really getting pathetic.

Fallen.

Trump doesn't email. He tweets. So at least if he leaks we will know instantly. ;)

Atleast trump will do what the obama administration promised, have the most transparent white house. This is a sure thing, because everything in the white house will end up on twitter, atleast until they take away his twitter and facebook privelages!
