Interfering with our election qualifies as a treason against the US, and Jrs failure to report it constitutes a serious felony

As usual you look at the source and not the content. Tell us exactly what laws were violated that put Trump in the WH?? Liberals like you seem to have a problem answering that question yet many liberals call this treason. No votes were changed and as a master of propaganda it really is tough for the left to accept that others can deal in propaganda as well which certainly isn't illegal

One would think the blackmail would have started already. Trump did after all bomb Assad, Putin s ally.

He has supported American production of oil and gas, which undermines Russia.

There defintely was a Russian operation to disrupt the elections. It was to weaken whomever was elected.
Seems like it is working.

As usual you take Trump tweets as gospel.

First off, I am not a liberal. Second off, I have never said Trump committed treason. Conservatives like you seem to have a problem realizing that not everybody thinks the same thing the same way if they aren't conservative (enough)

Don't know and that is not the point, nor does your reference to the "left" get the point. The Russian attack on the American election was an attack on you too.


This is the finding made by the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency:

"We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election. Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency."

Elsewhere in the report: “Moscow’s influence campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blends covert intelligence operations — such as cyber activity — with overt efforts by Russian Government agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries, and paid social media users or ‘trolls.'”

State elections systems were also targeted by the Russians, according to the agencies.

To repeat, if Trump and his campaign cooperated in this effort against a national American election, they cooperated in an attack on the sovereignty of the U.S.

As usual I don't give a damn what Trump's tweets are but rather the actual results he generates. For you it is about rhetoric for me it is about results. Tell me exactly what laws were broken in the Russian investigation, if none what is your issue? You seem to believe probably because the left does it all that time that propaganda convinces people to act in a certain way which is what the left does to their minions, convinces them that they truly care when all they care about is power and creating dependence.

ModerateGOP said:

WTF are you talking about? I criticized Obama and Clinton as well. I am as non-partisan as you can get. The problem I have is that the Trump guys have constantly for the past two years claimed that no such meetings like this were happening. Now, of course that was a lie when all the Russian connections started appearing as the press pieced it together. Then you guys said, so what there is no evidence that they were helping with the election. But Of course, that was a lie. We have in the emails, evidence that Trump JR accepted aide from a Russian agent in order to help his father win the election. It doesn't matter what information he did or didn't get. The fact that he accepted doing something he said he wasn't doing, is a big fat LIE! Do you agree with that?

Conservative said:

What attack? Spreading propaganda is an attack? the left does it all the time in all those October surprises. Why the double standards? Influencing the election gives very little credit to the American electorate. You probably should be directing this to the left who has bought the liberal spin for decades and all they get out of it is dependence. the takers always have problems with attacks on liberalism

I am waiting for how you were hurt by any Russian influence? What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty and passion? Are you that much of a taker that you expect someone else to pay for your personal responsibility issues? Our choice this last election was Hillary or Trump and Hillary's record is something you want to ignore

i didn't see you complaining about the liar that was Obama, nor the credibility issues nor the unethical conflicts that came from him and his administration.
so your faux outrage is faux outrage and is easily dismissed.

Claiming that no such meetings happened bothers you why? were either under oath and what does it matter anyway? I really don't give a damn about the Russian connection, why do you? Were any votes changed at the voting booth? I guess people that are Democrats never lie? Did Clinton lie UNDER OATH? Do you know the difference?
